The VFX Producer is directly responsible for a project’s P&L, making any decisions which impact artist labour spend, as well as the timely execution of all agreed client deliverables i.e. shots and assets. They are also responsible for the day-to-day management of the VFX Supervisor(s) and as the senior-most member of a show production team, are required to provide all information necessary for the successful production management and coordination of the full scope of work, such as bid days, VFX breakdown and quotas.
All Producers require a basic financial understanding, an aptitude for project management, in-depth experience in scheduling and an ability to manage diverse groups of people and foster strong team bonds.
The VFX Producer reports directly to the local Executive Producer, and may be co-managed if more than one E.P. operates within that location.
