Skilled in tools such as Houdini, Nuke, Maya, and Adobe After Effects.

Skilled in creating actual motion effects and animation (vs matte painting, green‑screen replacement, reflection removal, etc.).

Motion Graphics experience such as creating animated titles, lower thirds, infographics, and other dynamic elements for video projects.

Strong understanding of compositing, keyframing, and animation principles.

Highly Desired Experience

Previous experience working on action and fantasy films (e.g., Marvel movies) and/or DC comic movies (Batman, Superman, etc.).

Previous experience working on AAA games.
