- An AI-native creative approach: You use generative tools as a core part of your practice - not as a finishing step, but as part of how you think. You've built workflows, iterated on models, or found ways to generate imagery that genuinely pushes the work forward.
- Strong visual foundations: A command of frame, composition, light, and colour that doesn't depend on the tool. Your AI-assisted work still reads as intentional, directed, and refined - because the craft underneath it is solid.
- Curiosity about production pipelines: You're interested in how concept work informs downstream VFX - how a visual development image transitions into a 3D pipeline, how a lighting decision in concept shapes what gets rendered months later.
- A portfolio that shows your thinking: We care less about where you've worked and more about what you're making. Show us work that demonstrates how you solve visual problems. Process work, personal projects, and experimental output are all welcome.
