As a Senior Matchmove Artist
, you will play an important role in establishing the camera and object data required for downstream VFX departments. Your work will provide the foundation for layout, animation, FX, lighting, compositing and other stages of production.

You will solve complex 3D camera tracks from live-action plates and recreate the movement and characteristics of the original production camera within a 3D environment. You will also perform object and geometry tracking, reconstruct basic scene geometry where required and ensure that cameras, objects and environments are accurately aligned.

The role requires the ability to work with production information such as survey data, camera reports, lens information and reference photography. You should be comfortable handling challenging footage, including low-parallax shots, handheld photography, long-lens material and shots affected by significant lens distortion.

You will be responsible for solving complex camera tracks and creating accurate production-ready matchmove setups from live-action footage. This includes performing 3D camera tracking, object tracking and geometry-based solving
, as well as reconstructing basic scene geometry when necessary to achieve reliable results.

You will calculate and manage lens distortion, work with variable focal lengths and challenging camera movements, and use available survey data, camera reports and reference photography to accurately establish the relationship between the camera and the production environment.

You may also create witness-camera or secondary-camera setups when required and perform basic rotomation for tracking and camera-solving purposes. Maintaining correct scale, orientation and coordinate systems throughout the scene will be essential.

You will be expected to deliver clean and organised scenes that can move efficiently into downstream departments. You will also troubleshoot difficult tracking problems, respond efficiently to Supervisor and client feedback and maintain consistency across shots and sequences.

Candidates should have 6+ years of professional VFX Matchmove experience and strong production experience using professional camera-tracking software.
