    Job Description

    Our global Visual Effects team combines talent with technology, artistry with rigor, the familiar with the fantastic. Our work can be inspiring or invisible, but always unforgettable. From the language of colour to the hand drawn and photo-real, we bring ideas to life through the use of movement, storytelling and timing.

    A VFX Supervisor at The Mill will work on many high-profile projects for global advertising agencies. As a result, they will have an in-depth understanding of how to technically and creatively realise the unique look and feel of a Mill project. They will also have an invaluable understanding and knowledge of the technology, bespoke applications, workflow, methodologies and pipeline across six offices, strong relationships with their peers in those locations and a clear understanding of the high level of creative output required.

    A VFX Supervisor oversees a team of 2D Artists, and will assign and critique their team's work, but above all provide mentorship to their junior artists. They are required to be highly visually creative with an excellent knowledge of visual effects techniques and the software and hardware they operate.

    A VFX Supervisor is expected to supervise VFX shoots and therefore must have an advanced understanding of onset VFX supervision protocol and best practices. They must also have an advanced knowledge of onset VFX supervision techniques, such as using tracking markers and shooting lens grids and HDRIs.

    Although a VFX Supervisor defaults to the Creative Director when working together, they must also have the confidence and ability to manage clients, coordinating and guiding them through a group creative process, often with a great deal of diplomacy to achieve a result which is satisfactory to all. A VFX Supervisor is expected to have their own client base and are expected to build upon that base by developing and working in tandem with creative talent.

    Overtime, it is expected that they become invaluable as a source of work to the Mill through the relationships that they build with their clients, often to the point where a client will only want to work with that particular artist.

    The VFX Supervisor is an integral member of creative leadership and the 2D department. They manage a job from start to finish, often from initial bid, to shoot, to delivery. Therefore, they must be highly creative, command advanced technical abilities and must have excellent organisational and leadership skills. They must have a complete understanding of the VFX pipeline and the communication skills to manage and lead projects with other artists, and the confidence and conviction to present their team's work to directors and clients. They are expected to attend shoots and further develop strong relationships with directors and clients. They are expected to help mentor the junior members of the 2D team and inspire them through their leadership and the quality of their own work.
