Our Lighting and Compositing Artists are wonderful visual storytellers. They define the mood and atmosphere of our narratives, and highlight the charming details of our characters, props and environments.
Your day-to-day will focus on creating the lighting of our episodes, finessing the colours in compositing, whilst always maintaining the right balance between the highest quality and meeting deadlines.
We are very happy to discuss flexible, hybrid and remote working options for all our vacancies. Please note, this opportunity is due to start late February 2026 and that this vacancy can close early if we receive a high number of applications.
The successful candidates will need to be based in the UK and will require the right to work in the UK.
Ideally, the successful candidate will be within a commutable distance to our Brighton Zoo studio, though this is not essential.
