The VFX Editor is the lynchpin between Show and Assistant Editorial. Usually, this role is filled by a team member, who excelled in the Assistant role and so can now take on more work and responsibility, to push their skills further, faster. A full grounding in data management and the strict naming of elements, reference and various media would be expected through learning the Assistant role; from here a further in-depth knowledge of the Shows (all, not just the one being worked on) is now required. Key tasks are as follow:
· Organise cineSync session with other facilities and/or clients
· Assist VFX Editors in all aspects of a show
· Be the lead for any PR or Showreel work
· Aiding in any pipeline/RnD issues surrounding outsource or Showreel work
· Editing, conforming and managing any reels produced
· Partner VFX Editors to gain knowledge about a show and how it operates to be able to stand in to support/cover
· Learn the tools required to be a VFX Editor (ie. Truelight)
· Master all Monthlies, and work closely with the Screening Room to ensure no hiccups
· Train and guide any Editorial Assistants so they get an introduction to how shows work
· Offer alternative working methods if the possibility arises that the Senior will be overworked
· Meet with Production teams to discuss constantly moving requirements and have enough knowledge to suggest or rebuke ideas
· To work close enough to the Seniors to be able to provide faultless cover if illness or holiday arises
· The ability to converse and request support, fixes, repairs from all major support teams including Engineering, Mac Support, Systems, IT and Hub Support
· Assist in managing the show workload given to the Assistants; if it is too much taking on some of this work will be expected to fulfill show requirements
