The multi-Oscar-winning creative Film & Episodic Studio at Framestore has worked with some of the greatest storytellers in film today.

Framestore combines talent and technology to bring life to everything we create. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future, we set out every day to reframe the possible.
About the role
This is a senior role within our Visual Development team for an artist who brings both deep craft and genuine creative leadership. You'll operate at the intersection of concept and execution — shaping the visual language of major productions, driving technical innovation, and helping define how our team works. You'll bring extensive experience across traditional workflows, compositing, and generative tools, and you'll be as comfortable mentoring artists as you are solving the hardest visual problems on a show.
What you'll do
Lead the creation of high-end visual development imagery across a wide range of styles, from hyper-realistic to highly stylised, setting the bar for quality across the team.
Champion the integration of generative tools like ComfyUI into production workflows, establishing best practices and helping others get the most from them.
Apply expert-level Nuke compositing skills to create sophisticated "living" concepts that directly inform and reflect our final VFX pipeline.
Drive the adoption of emerging technologies — including Gaussian Splatting and beyond — positioning Framestore's creative offering at the frontier of the industry.
Work closely with supervisors and the HOD to shape the strategic direction of Visual Development, ensuring your work supports seamless transitions into 2D/3D production at scale.
Act as a clear and credible communicator of complex technical and creative processes, bridging the gap between artists and senior stakeholders including directors and producers.
Take an active role in building team culture — mentoring artists, leading knowledge-sharing sessions, and raising the standard of craft and process across the department.
