Working in conjunction with Production, the FX Supervisor ensures that approved FX work is delivered to the required quality within its established scope and predetermined bid days.\nKey Responsibilities:\nCreative and Technical Design \nEstablish creative and technical approaches for approved FX and CFX work, including simulations and procedural effects.\n\nGuide artists and maintain consistent FX and CFX quality aligned with the production’s approved creative direction.\n\nExpert knowledge of Houdini.\n\nProgramming or scripting skills (e.g. Python and VEX), depending on the area of specialisation.\n\nExperience with Unreal Engine and real time VFX workflows, including integration between Houdini and Unreal pipelines.\n\nDepartmental Execution\nLead day-to-day FX and CFX execution and provide creative and technical direction to FX artists.\n\nCoordinate assignments, priorities, and deliveries with Production.\n\nTrack progress against approved shot scope and bid-day allocations.\n\nScope and Bid-Day Management \nDesign solutions that can be executed within the approved scope and predetermined bid days.\n\nIdentify risks, overruns, or requests that exceed approved parameters and communicate them promptly to Production.\n\nDo not expand scope, extend bid days, or commit additional resources without appropriate Production approval.\n\nCollaboration\nWork with the VFX Supervisor on overall creative intent and final image requirements.\n\nWork with the CG Supervisor on technical standards, pipeline integration, and cross-departmental dependencies.\n\nKeep Production informed of progress, risks, and delivery requirements.\n\nAuthority and Accountability: \nThe FX Supervisor is responsible for determining how the approved FX work is executed, while Production is responsible for managing what has been approved, how much time is allocated, and what resources are available. This separation establishes clear departmental creative and technical authority while retaining production management authority over scope, bid days, and resources. The FX Supervisor is accountable for delivery quality, execution within approved scope and bid days, and early escalation of potential deviations. Changes to approved parameters require Production authorization.\n About Us\nWe are DNEG, one of the world’s leading visual effects and animation companies for the creation of award-winning feature film,\ntelevision, and multiplatform content.
