Job Description

Framestore's Melbourne studio is looking for Digital Matte Painters for 3-4 month contracts. Digital Matte Painters are responsible for painting photo real environments, elements and textures for matching into live action plates or to stand on their own as DMP plates.

Responsibilities include creating photo-realistic digital matte paintings, assisting with and developing the look of a shot/sequence, working with the production team to establish schedules, working in partnership with Shader Developers, Lighting TDs and Compositors, and closely with the VFX Supervisor to ensure that the plates meet planned concept design requirements.

Previous experience in a similar role
Thorough working knowledge of Photoshop
Understanding of Nuke and Maya
