Senior AI VFX Artist

Overview

NxGen is Sky Creative’s AI‑first hybrid studio, built to redefine how creative work is imagined, produced, and delivered. By combining world‑class talent with intelligent systems, scalable infrastructure, and agile production models, we enable teams to move faster, collaborate smarter, and unlock greater creative freedom. NxGen represents a new approach to modern content creation driven by innovation, experimentation, and adaptability.

Execute high‑quality visual content using a combination of AI‑driven and traditional VFX workflows. Work across shot execution, refinement, cleanup, enhancement, iteration, and final delivery processes. Utilize the full range of tools available within the studio pipeline to achieve the highest possible visual quality and consistency. Help establish practical, scalable workflows for integrating AI‑generated elements into production‑ready outputs.

Solve complex creative and technical challenges across hybrid production workflows. Identify the most appropriate tools, methodologies, and workflows for achieving creative goals efficiently and reliably. Work closely with compositing teams to maintain continuity, realism, technical consistency, and visual polish across sequences and campaigns. Contribute toward workflow optimisation, automation opportunities, and production efficiencies.

Collaborate closely with ideation and visual development teams to ensure a seamless transition from concept through execution. Help evaluate whether concepts are achievable within technical, time, and budgetary constraints. Advise on appropriate tooling and execution approaches during development phases to maintain production viability. Ensure visual intent established during ideation is preserved throughout the execution pipeline.

Work closely alongside the compositing team to integrate AI‑generated outputs into broader VFX pipelines. Apply strong compositing fundamentals including lighting integration, perspective, realism, layering, colour matching, and image continuity. Utilize CG knowledge to improve cont rollability, consistency, and accuracy of AI‑assisted workflows. Support workflows involving camera data, scene reconstruction, render passes, layout systems, and environment continuity where applicable.

Maintain strong awareness of current and emerging AI image/video generation tools and their production applications. Build and refine controllable workflows using node‑based systems such as ComfyUI, Flora, Weavy, and similar platforms. Understand the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of different AI models and workflows within commercial production environments.

Work closely with the in‑house AI Creative Technologist to road‑test newly developed workflow tools, helping ensure practical usability, creative flexibility, and successful integration into real‑world production pipelines. Collaborate with technical and pipeline teams to improve scalability, efficiency, and reliability of hybrid workflows. Where applicable, support integrations with AI infrastructure platforms and tool aggregators such as FAL, Runware, or similar services.

Proactively explore new tools, workflows, and emerging technologies through ongoing R&D. Share learnings, discoveries, and workflow improvements with the wider team. Help upskill colleagues and contribute toward evolving studio‑wide hybrid production capabilities.

Maintain awareness of evolving AI ethics, copyright considerations, legal concerns, and responsible usage practices. Apply diligence and critical thinking when working on high‑profile commercial campaigns and client‑sensitive content. Help contribute toward responsible AI usage standards and governance within the studio.
