• Act as a bridge between traditional VFX methodologies and next-gen production tools to ensure seamless integration across departments.

• Continuously evaluate new platforms and maintain awareness of industry trends to guide the long-term strategy for the AI team.

• Provide hands-on mentorship to foster skill development in innovative visual tools and techniques.

• Attend shoots to collaborate with the director and production crew, ensuring accurate data capture and providing guidance for seamless VFX integration.

• Strong expertise in leveraging Generative AI tools, real-time 3D, and traditional VFX techniques.
