Freelance: CG – New York

Framestore is building its freelance roster for CG roles based out of New York, and they want to hear from you before the next project lands. This is a computer graphics position sitting within Framestore’s Integrated Advertising division, where the output is high-end commercial VFX work produced for major advertising clients. If you’re a freelance CG artist with a track record in advertising or commercial post-production, this is the kind of standing arrangement that keeps your pipeline full.

About the Role

Framestore Integrated Advertising is one of the more respected names in commercial VFX production, known for taking on technically complex and visually ambitious advertising projects. Freelancers brought in through this roster work across the CG pipeline, from asset development through to final composite, depending on the brief and the team’s needs at any given time. A typical engagement means slotting into an established crew and delivering at a level consistent with award-winning commercial work.

Key Responsibilities

• Producing CG assets and environments that meet the technical and creative specifications of advertising briefs.
• Working within the studio’s VFX pipeline to hit milestones across look development, lighting, and rendering stages.
• Collaborating directly with VFX supervisors to interpret client feedback and implement revisions efficiently.
• Maintaining consistency in CG output across multiple shots within a single commercial campaign.
• Contributing to the overall quality of the post-production workflow, particularly as deadlines compress toward final delivery.
• Flagging technical issues early in the production process to avoid downstream problems in compositing or final output.

What You Bring

• Demonstrable experience as a freelance CG artist in advertising, commercial production, or related VFX work.
• Proficiency in industry-standard CG software such as Houdini, Maya, or Cinema 4D, with a reel that reflects advertising-level quality.
• A working understanding of rendering pipelines and how CG output integrates with compositing in a commercial post environment.
• Credits from commercial, advertising, or branded content productions that show range across different visual styles.
• The ability to work independently under a VFX supervisor without requiring significant onboarding time on short engagements.

Why This Role

Framestore has a long-standing reputation across both feature film production and advertising VFX, and their New York advertising division works on some of the more technically demanding commercial briefs in the market. Getting onto their freelance roster means you are the first call when a project comes together, not a last-minute backup.
