Junior–Intermediate VFX Compositor / Generalist
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Work model: Hybrid remote/in-studio
Dream Theory is an AI-assisted visual effects studio helping production companies, agencies, and brands integrate emerging technology into professional post-production workflows. From broadcast series to national commercial campaigns, we combine traditional VFX techniques with AI-assisted workflows to deliver high-quality work efficiently without compromising creative standards.
We’re looking for a Junior–Intermediate VFX Compositor / Generalist to join our growing Toronto team.
This role is primarily focused on compositing and shot finishing, with opportunities to contribute across a range of VFX and AI-assisted workflows. It’s ideal for an early-career artist with strong fundamentals who wants to grow as a compositor while exploring how generative AI is reshaping post-production.
Experience with AI tools is a plus, but it isn’t required. We’re equally interested in artists with solid technical and creative instincts who are eager to learn, experiment, and adapt.
What you’ll be doing
- Compositing AI-generated and traditional VFX elements into live-action plates
- Preparing footage through roto, masking, tracking, keying, paint, and clean-up
- Matching colour, lighting, grain, focus, and movement to create seamless final images
- Working with producers and senior artists to develop practical shot approaches
- Troubleshooting challenging shots and finding efficient solutions within hybrid VFX pipelines
- Performing quality control to ensure work meets commercial and broadcast standards
- Contributing to motion graphics, generative workflows, and other generalist tasks as needed
- Helping refine internal workflows and best practices as the studio evolves
What we’re looking for
- Approximately 1–4 years of experience in visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, or post-production
- Proficiency with Adobe After Effects or Fusion
- A strong understanding of compositing principles and shot finishing
- Experience with roto, tracking, keying, paint, and clean-up
- A positive eye for detail, continuity, realism, colour, and image quality
- The ability to take feedback and carry revisions through to a polished final shot
- Comfort working across multiple projects and adapting to evolving workflows
- Clear communication skills and a collaborative attitude
- Curiosity about AI-assisted creative workflows and emerging production technology
Nice to have
- Experience with generative platforms such as Higgsfield, Google Flow, Runway, or similar tools
- Experience with Blender, 3D animation, or motion graphics
- Familiarity with Mocha, SynthEyes, FTrack, or other tracking software
- Experience working on commercial, broadcast, or feature productions
- Experience preparing footage or visual references for generative workflows
We’re a boutique studio, so versatility is one of our biggest strengths. Our artists wear multiple hats, collaborate closely, and have the opportunity to help shape how AI-assisted visual effects are used in professional production.
This role offers the opportunity to build your compositing skills, work across a wide variety of creative challenges, and gain hands-on experience with emerging workflows alongside traditional VFX craft.
Dream Theory operates as a hybrid remote/in-studio workplace. This position is based in Toronto and requires regular access to our downtown studio.
