• Technical Checks: Verify VFX files for format, resolution, color space, and specifications, ensuring compatibility across all production stages.
• Render Validation: Review final renders and deliverables, identifying errors such as flickering, motion blur, or unintentional frame drops.
• Maintain Standards Compliance: Ensure all VFX work adheres to studio, client, and industry standards in quality, color grading, and file formatting.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Visual Effects, Film Production, Digital Arts, or related field (or equivalent experience).
