Familiarity with Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, ComfyUI, or similar creative tools.
Experience creating consistent characters, locations, props, or shot sequences across multiple generations.
Experience working from scripts, shot lists, moodboards, or creative briefs.
Ability to do light editing, compositing, cleanup, or image finishing.
