As a Digital Paint Artist at ILM, you'll be responsible for restoring background plates, crafting digital articulate mattes, and ensuring color and grain consistency across multiple sources.  You'll break down shots into components, assimilate feedback, research references, and proactively communicate with the team.  You'll need a keen eye for detail to identify and correct paint artifacts, sharpness, and color issues, even in complex shots with motion blur and numerous layers.  Experience with wire removal, clean plates, paint-on-comp work, color correction, and the Nuke pipeline is essential.  You'll need to handle layout and DM cameras within Nuke and understand the stereo compositing pipeline. Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills are vital.  The role requires collaboration across departments and providing regular updates on shot progress.
