Comfortable working on multiple projects on multiple differing pipelines that each have their own unique visual requirements.

Should be striving to broaden their FX skillset through attempting new techniques to achieve more complex effects either through R&D work or with guidance from a more senior artist. This includes learning the use of new software packages.

The use of file management and naming conventions should fit each project to avoid any issues with data delivery scripts. If they deviate from this in order to reduce caching times they are expected to clean up their files.

Must excel at revising effects based on feedback or notes in as few iterations as possible and have no issue or resistance to this.

Should be comfortable taking charge of following up on collaborative effects that require involvement from other departments and ensure that their assigned task is followed through to completion.
