Particle effects will be created using off-the-shelf paint tools in addition to Stormfront's proprietary particle effects editing tool.
Desired Skills and Qualifications:
The successful candidate must have:
Professional visual effects experience.
Strong conceptual abilities; able to develop abstract PFX concepts into dazzling particle effect systems.
An eye for cinematic presentation and strong ability to re-create natural phenomena and other fantastic effects.
