VFXsup

VFXsup is a term that refers to a visual effects supervisor. This individual is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the visual effects production for a film, television show, or other media project. They work closely with the director and other department heads to ensure that the visual effects meet the creative vision and technical requirements of the project.

The VFXsup's duties include planning the visual effects shots, budgeting and scheduling the work, and managing the VFX team. They also collaborate with the director of photography to ensure that the visual effects integrate seamlessly with the live-action footage. During production, they are often on set to advise on how best to shoot scenes that will require visual effects later.

After principal photography, the VFXsup guides the visual effects artists through the creation of digital assets, compositing, and any other required visual effects. They are the primary point of contact between the production and the visual effects vendors, ensuring that deadlines are met and quality standards are maintained. Ultimately, the VFXsup is accountable for the successful execution of all visual effects elements, ensuring they enhance the storytelling without being distracting or artificial. Their role requires a strong understanding of both artistic principles and technical capabilities within the visual effects pipeline.
