Vfx Lead Ai R & d 3d Matchmove @TCL North America

US

As a VFX Lead, I contributed to R&D-driven workflows that combined VFX and AI across multiple platforms, including Maya, Nuke, ComfyUI, Blender, and Unreal. My work involved 3D tracking, layout, low-proxy geometry modeling, character matchmove, and integrating AI-generated assets. I also processed video files to LumaAI for Gaussian splats mesh creation, ensuring seamless integration into the VFX pipeline.Beyond core tracking responsibilities, I was a key bridge between 3D, compositing, and AI, optimizing workflows for efficient software integration. I organized tracking tasks, maintained layout consistency, and supported technical problem-solving to ensure smooth shot execution.In the final phase of the project, I expanded my role into compositing tasks, including roto, paint, and clean plate creation, rendering assets using an OCIO workflow. Additionally, I contributed to concept development using Photoshop and RunwayAI, generating animated video sequences for select shots to assist in finalizing the project’s visual direction.
