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 the studio behind some of the most ambitious visual storytelling in cinema - from the creatures of Guardians of the Galaxy, How To Train Your Dragon, and Paddington to the worlds of Harry Potter, Project Hail Mary , and Wicked . Now we're building the next chapter, using AI not as a shortcut, but as a creative amplifier. Our proprietary tools - including Futon, our generative AI pipeline integration - are giving artists new ways to shape, iterate, and realise complex visuals at a pace and scale that wasn't possible before. 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. Send your portfolio and a short note about how you work to recruiters@framestore.com with the subject line: Visual Development — AI Talent Pool . There's no fixed deadline. We review applications on an ongoing basis and will reach out when a relevant opportunity arises. We review all applications manually and do not use artificial intelligence to screen candidates. We welcome applications from artists at all career stages. If you need any adjustmen
