Dream Theory | Annual salary: $80,000 CAD

Dream Theory is an AI-assisted visual effects studio working across commercial, film, and television projects. We combine established VFX craft with generative technology to deliver high-quality work through practical, evolving production workflows.

We're looking for a VFX Supervisor who is comfortable working across both Nuke and Adobe After Effects pipelines , with strong compositing fundamentals and an interest in developing how generative tools fit into professional post-production.

This is a hands-on role in a boutique studio. You'll guide artists, develop shot approaches, and oversee image quality while contributing directly to compositing and shot finishing. It could suit an experienced lead or senior artist ready to take on broader supervisory responsibility.

What you'll be doing

Supervising shots from initial breakdown through final delivery, setting clear creative and technical direction

Working hands-on in Nuke and After Effects to develop looks, solve challenging shots, and deliver finished composites

Reviewing artists' work, providing actionable feedback, and maintaining consistency across sequences

Developing shot approaches that combine traditional VFX techniques with generative tools

Guiding footage preparation through roto, tracking, masking, and clean-up, and integrating generated elements back into live-action plates

Working with production to scope work, estimate artist time, and flag technical or schedule risks early





Translating client feedback into clear direction and helping communicate practical creative solutions

Refining workflows and supporting artists as the studio's pipeline evolves

What we're looking for

A strong background in skilled VFX, with experience leading artists, reviewing shots, or taking ownership of sequences

Proficiency in both Nuke and Adobe After Effects, with the ability to troubleshoot and support artists in either pipeline

Strong compositing and finishing skills, including keying, tracking, paint, colour matching, and integrating elements into live-action footage

A sharp eye for realism, lighting, movement, continuity, and image quality

Comfort incorporating generative tools into production, including assessing their limitations and resolving inconsistencies through traditional VFX

Clear communication, practical problem-solving skills, and a collaborative approach to feedback and mentorship

The ability to balance creative ambition with budgets, deadlines, and delivery requirements

Nice to have

Experience with generative platforms such as Higgsfield, Google Flow, Runway, or similar tools

Experience with Blender, 3D workflows, or motion graphics

Familiarity with pipeline development, scripting, or workflow automation

Experience contributing to bids, client reviews, or on-set VFX supervision

We're a small studio where people contribute across disciplines and help shape how the work gets done. This is an opportunity to take creative ownership, support a growing team, and develop new approaches to visual effects while maintaining a high standard of craft.
