Assistant visual effects technical director apprenticeship

Provide technical assistance, troubleshoot workflow issues, and manage data and resources

Visual effects describe any imagery created, altered, or enhanced for moving media. They involve the integration of live-action footage and computer-generated imagery to create images that look realistic but would be dangerous, costly or simply impossible to capture during live-action shooting. During the assistant visual effects technical director apprenticeship, you’ll perform a diverse series of technical support functions in order to ensure the smooth running of a visual effects project, including supporting and troubleshooting the pipeline and workflow tools; providing technical assistance to the creative departments; and managing data and resources. You’ll develop the ability to utilise a variety of industry standard graphical applications, scripting languages and operating systems, and may support projects by gathering artist requirements, designing solutions and coding small-scale tools using established employer workflow requirements.
