Pitch Black is looking for a versatile 2D Generalist with practical AI experience to create high-quality visual effects and build reusable setups for our team in India.

This is a hands-on role combining shot work with workflow development. You’ll work across a range of 2D tasks, explore where AI tools can support production, and turn successful approaches into clear, reliable setups that other artists can use.

What you’ll do

• Deliver 2D visual effects work, including compositing, keying, tracking, clean-up, paint, and integration of CG and live-action elements.
• Build and test reusable Nuke setups, templates, and tools that support consistent results across shots and sequences.
• Apply AI-assisted techniques to relevant production tasks, assessing output quality, consistency, and practical value.
• Prepare setups for use by our team in India, with clear documentation, example shots, and handover support.
• Collaborate with supervisors, production, pipeline, and artists to troubleshoot challenges and improve workflows.
• Respond to creative feedback while maintaining technical quality and meeting delivery schedules.

Qualifications

What you’ll bring

• Production experience as a 2D Generalist or Compositor, supported by a reel demonstrating a broad range of 2D skills.
• Strong Nuke skills and a solid understanding of compositing fundamentals, including colour, lighting, perspective, and image integration.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools within a visual effects or image-making workflow, with examples you can discuss.
• Experience creating organised, reusable setups that other artists can understand and maintain.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to take work from initial exploration through to a dependable production approach.
• Clear communication skills and confidence collaborating with artists across locations and time zones.

Nice to have

• Python scripting or experience developing Nuke gizmos and tools.
• Experience with node-based AI workflows, such as ComfyUI.
• Experience training artists, documenting workflows, or supporting work across multiple studios.
