**Flying Bark Productions have another wonderful opportunity to join our team of talented artists working on an incredibly exciting new animated feature film.

**The VFX Supervisor will be responsible for the final look of the entire animated feature, being able to translate the Client’s highly stylistic look into our pipeline and artists.
