Information About

Visual Effects Supervisor




Supervisors can be employed directly by a film production company or work for a visual effects company. Often there are several VFX supervisors on a project, although there is typically a senior VFX supervisor directing their efforts.

Specific responsibilities vary somewhat depending on the nature of the production, however most supervisors:
  • Handle a VFX project from conception through to completion

  • Manage and direct the technical, artistic, and production personnelle

  • Possess a knowledge of various visual effects techniques with emphasis on camera set-ups and film knowledge with an eye for composition and camera work.

  • Accurately predict timing and associated costs of project

  • Collaborate on the bidding and negotiation processes


There is not a union for VFX Supervisors, however the Visual Effects Society is a prominent trade organization representing the interests of visual effects professionals.
