Render Optimization: Optimize Redshift render settings (sampling, noise reduction, clean multi-pass output) for both high-resolution stills and animated video deliverables.
Motion Graphics & Compositing:
Design, animate, and composite 2D/3D motion graphics assets into promotional and educational video content using
Adobe After Effects

render engine (shaders, lighting rigs, render settings, and passes).
AI-Assisted Animation: Demonstrated familiarity or practical experience using AI tools for animation, asset creation, or motion enhancements.
Compositing: Strong ability to composite 3D passes and elements cleanly into live-action or motion graphics scenes.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills
Experience with photorealistic rendering of glass, liquids, reflective surfaces, and cosmetic/medical packaging.
Familiarity with healthcare, pharmaceutical, or commercial consumer brand aesthetics.
Solid 3D modeling and UV mapping skills (though primary tasks involve existing models).
