AI & Generative Tools Visual Development Artist

This is a Full Time Job

This isn't a live vacancy - it's an invitation. Framestore's London studio is actively building relationships with artists who are working at the frontier of AI-assisted visual development, and we want to hear from you before the right role appears.

We're looking for artists who feel at home in this space. Whether you're a concept artist who has built custom ComfyUI workflows, a matte painter who uses AI to explore compositional ideas, or someone whose practice has evolved in directions that don't fit the standard job description - we want to see what you're making.

What we're looking for
• An AI-native creative approach: You use generative tools as a core part of your practice - not as a finishing step, but as part of how you think. You've built workflows, iterated on models, or found ways to generate imagery that genuinely pushes the work forward.
• Strong visual foundations: A command of frame, composition, light, and colour that doesn't depend on the tool. Your AI-assisted work still reads as intentional, directed, and refined - because the craft underneath it is solid.
• Curiosity about production pipelines: You're interested in how concept work informs downstream VFX - how a visual development image transitions into a 3D pipeline, how a lighting decision in concept shapes what gets rendered months later. You don't need to have worked in a major VFX studio, but you're interested in how it all connects.
• A portfolio that shows your thinking: We care less about where you've worked and more about what you're making. Show us work that demonstrates how you solve visual problems. Process work, personal projects, and experimental output are all welcome.

Tools we work with
• Futon: Framestore's own ML & generative AI integration layer - built into our VFX pipeline.
• ComfyUI: Node-based generative workflows. Experience here is a strong signal.
• Nuke: Compositing environment used to build living, production-ready concept imagery.
• Blender: Open-source 3D widely used for blocking, lighting, and generative AI integration via custom nodes.
• Unreal / Realtime: Real-time render engines increasingly part of visual development workflows.
• Gaussian Splatting: Frontier technique - experience or genuine interest is a plus.
