THIS OPPORTUNITY:

We're building our pipeline of Compositing talent for some upcoming work and want to hear from artists at every stage of their career - from graduates cutting their teeth to seasoned Compositors leading shots end to end. If you're passionate about creating jaw-dropping, photoreal VFX, love blending elements seamlessly, and want to push creative boundaries alongside a great team, we want to hear from you.

This is an Expression of Interest - register now and we'll be in touch as suitable roles open up across our Compositing team.

Requirements

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Depending on your level of experience, your day-to-day could include:

  • Building high-quality digital composites from brief to final across a full range of VFX work - 2D/3D tracking, matte extraction, element layering, colour grading, digital matte painting, and roto/paint work
  • Collaborating with the VFX Supervisor, Compositing Lead and wider team to bring shots to life, contributing to creative and technical decisions rather than just executing them
  • For more experienced artists: leading shots, mentoring junior team members, and contributing to pipeline development, colour management workflows, and process documentation
  • For those earlier in their career: developing your craft under the guidance of senior artists while contributing to real production work from day one

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

We're keen to hear from artists across all levels - Graduate, Junior, Mid, and Senior so requirements will naturally vary with experience. Generally, we're looking for:

  • Compositing experience or training across feature film, television, and/or commercials (a strong showreel is fine in place of industry experience for graduates and juniors)
  • Nuke skills appropriate to your level - from solid fundamentals through to advanced Gizmos/Groups workflows, script troubleshooting and optimisation, and LookDev/template setup for more senior candidates
  • A grasp of cinematography, photography, and colour science principles
  • Well-developed artistic sensibilities - the ability to read a note, interpret the intent, and execute
  • Basic Python scripting is a bonus at any level
  • Strong communication skills - clear direction, constructive feedback, and keeping people informed
  • Good time management and the ability to prioritise under production pressure
  • For senior candidates: experience supporting and developing junior team members

IMPORTANT — ELIGIBILITY:

You must currently be based in New Zealand and hold full rights to live and work here. We're looking to fill roles almost immediately, so please only register your interest if you meet this requirement.

Benefits

Why Cause and FX?

We're a studio that actually means it when we talk about culture. Kindness, curiosity, teamwork, and creativity are baked into how we work, not just something that lives on a poster.

The work is genuinely exciting - varied projects across film and TV that'll keep you challenged and proud of your reel. And when it's time to switch off, we know how to have fun - think Fromage Friday, regular team events, and a crew that actually likes spending time together.

We also take care of our people properly. Every team member, including contractors, has access to our Employee Assistance Programme, because we know great work starts with feeling supported.

Interested?

Right now we are seeking expressions of interest, although we don't have an immediate opening, we'd love to have you in our network. Submit your reel and CV and we'll be in touch when the right project comes up.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
