Outsyders is looking for a talented Depth Artist to join our 3D conversion team and help transform 2D film content into immersive, high-quality stereoscopic experiences. As a Depth Artist, you will create and refine the depth information that forms the foundation of the 3D conversion process. You’ll analyze footage, interpret spatial relationships, build depth maps, and sculpt depth across complex film shots to create convincing foreground, midground, and background separation.

This is a highly visual role that combines artistic judgment, technical skill, and an understanding of cinematic storytelling . You’ll work closely with Stereo Leads, Supervisors and Stereo Compositors to translate creative depth direction into compelling, consistent results on screen. This is a remote contract position through December 23, 2026, with possibility of extension.

Create and refine depth maps and depth layers for 2D-to-3D film conversion. Interpret depth scripts and apply creative direction to establish compelling cinematic depth. Use roto, paint, and masking techniques to separate and refine foreground, midground, and background elements.

Review and refine work to maintain visual quality and depth continuity across shots and sequences. Collaborate with Stereo Supervisors,



Compositors, and other artists to deliver high-quality work on schedule. 3+ years of experience in depth artistry, stereo conversion, or a related VFX discipline. ~ Robust proficiency in Nuke and experience with roto, paint, masking, and depth workflows. ~ Solid understanding of depth maps, Z-depth, disparity, perspective, and stereoscopic principles. ~ Experience on theatrical 3D or stereo conversion projects. Python or scripting experience.
