Cinetism Inc is seeking an experienced and highly skilled Senior Compositor to join its VFX team for ongoing feature-film and cinematic VFX projects

This is a remote freelance opportunity for a compositor with a strong understanding of photorealistic image integration, cinematic lighting, colour, atmosphere, depth and photographic detail.

About the Role

As a Senior Compositor at Cinetism Inc., you will play an important role in bringing complex VFX shots to their final cinematic quality.

You will be expected to work independently on assigned shots while maintaining close communication with Supervisors, Leads and the wider production team.

The role involves integrating multiple visual elements into convincing final images while preserving the photographic qualities of the original footage.

You may work on shots involving CG characters, creatures, digital environments, set extensions, matte paintings, atmospheric effects, digital doubles, green-screen footage and complex multi-pass renders.

Senior Compositors should be comfortable handling technically demanding shots and solving problems without compromising the creative intent of the sequence.

You will also be responsible for keeping your Nuke scripts clean, organised and production-ready throughout the life of a shot.

You will work with complex multi-layer compositing setups, integrate multiple CG render passes and AOVs, maintain visual consistency across individual shots and sequences, and accurately match colour, exposure, contrast and lighting between different elements. You will also recreate realistic depth, atmosphere and environmental interaction to ensure seamless integration.

Nuke & Technical Work
You will use Foundry Nuke to build and maintain professional compositing scripts and efficiently manage complex node-based workflows. Your responsibilities will include advanced keying, roto, tracking, paint and cleanup, as well as creating and managing 2D and 2.5D compositing setups.

You may also work with camera projections, multi-pass CG integration and holdout workflows when required. You will be expected to troubleshoot technical compositing challenges, maintain clean and organised node structures, and ensure all Nuke scripts remain production-ready throughout the project.
