Summary

Our workflow involves filming actors in a studio and seamlessly integrating them into real-world environments using stock footage, custom-shot footage, and background plates. The goal is to create advertisements that feel cinematic, believable, and visually polished. We are not looking for basic background replacement. We need someone who can make talent appear naturally integrated into the scene through advanced compositing techniques, matching lighting, realistic shadows, color grading, depth of field, camera movement, perspective, and environmental interaction. This is an ongoing freelance opportunity with consistent work for the right person.

We are looking for someone who can seamlessly place a subject filmed in a studio into a completely different environment while maintaining realism. The finished result should look as though the talent was originally filmed on location. You should have experience handling: -Hair detail extraction -Motion blur challenges -Difficult green screen edges -Spill suppression -Environmental lighting matches -Shadow creation -Atmospheric integration -Realistic foreground/background blending -Commercial advertising workflows -Preferred Experience -Direct-response advertising -Social media advertisements (Meta, TikTok, YouTube) -Commercial VFX production -CGI integration -AI-assisted compositing workflows -Product marketing content -Performance marketing creative production -Portfolio Requirements To be considered, please submit: -Portfolio showcasing advanced compositing work Green screen projects -Rotoscoping examples -Before-and-after compositing examples -Examples demonstrating realistic VFX integration -Description of software used in your workflow -Typical turnaround times -Hourly rate or project-based pricing Applications without relevant compositing and green screen examples will not be considered. Sample Screening Question Please provide a 30–60 second example of your most challenging compositing project and briefly explain: What made the shot difficult What techniques were used How you handled keying, rotoscoping, lighting, and integration What software was used Compensation Compensation will be based on experience, portfolio quality, and turnaround speed. We are looking for a long-term freelance partner capable of handling ongoing advertising projects throughout the year.
