What They Look for in Your Portfolio
✨ FX Artists (Houdini)
WildBrain FX roles require production-proven Houdini work. Show pyro, fluid, destruction, and cloth simulations. Include finaled shots from TV or streaming productions, not just personal tests. Their shows serve younger audiences, so FX must be appealing and on-model, not just technically impressive.
💡 Lighting / Compositing
Show episodic experience with Arnold or similar renderer. WildBrain’s Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake work has distinct lighting styles. Demonstrate ability to match an established show’s look quickly. Nuke compositing experience is expected for Senior Gaffer roles.
🎥 VFX Supervisors
Show creative and technical leadership experience. VFX Supervisors at WildBrain oversee the entire FX pipeline for productions. Include examples of supervising other artists, managing shot lists, and delivering FX departments on schedule.
⚙ Technical Artists (2D)
WildBrain’s 2D TA roles support their traditional animation pipeline. Show rigging, compositing pipeline, or tool development for 2D animation. Harmony (ToonBoom) experience is preferred.
