Job description

Filming in Cape Town, ZA from early November 2026, our independent production is looking for a talented VFX Artist to join our team for an exciting web series. This project is a gritty, near-future sci-fi drama with a strong focus on character-driven storytelling, exploring themes of technology, societal decay, and human resilience. We need someone with a creative eye to bring our world to life, enhancing specific scenes with subtle yet impactful visual effects that support the narrative, not overlay. Expect mostly environmental enhancements, digital set extensions, and potentially some minor creature work or holographic UI elements, requiring about 3-4 weeks of focused work, split between on-set supervision and post-production. Key responsibilities include collaborating with the Director and Editor to identify VFX needs, executing shots according to the creative vision, and ensuring seamless integration. While specific gear won't be provided by us, access to your own VFX software and workstation is essential. We welcome artists of all experience levels, but a strong reel demonstrating your capabilities in relevant areas is crucial. Compensation is $150-300 per day, dependent on experience and scope. This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a compelling story and expand your portfolio.
