Are you yearning for your next animated project? A project that’s longer than a few months? Are you tired of being part of huge team where you feel just a gear in the process? Or are you a lead artist looking for a step up in your career? Join arx anima, a multiple award-winning studio! We are looking for you; a Compositing supervisor who will be working hand in hand with the Director of Photography and the Lighting Supervisor in order to create an extraordinary team.

We are arx anima based in Vienna's 5th district and have been producing animation cinema productions for years. We also have the courage to try every new technical challenge and innovation.

Be it the realization of a high-end MoCap studio in our basement or the construction of the largest render farm in Austria. And besides all the R&D, features and series we love to work on creatively animated commercials and other service work. For example, we just revived Mozart through an immersive 360° art projection about Vienna in his era.

Besides the technical and artistic understanding expected from a Compositing supervisor, we’re looking for someone striving to be a leader by example, by putting the needs of your team in the center and leveraging their strengths. Are you comfortable creating timelines for your team that are realistic yet efficient? Do you, eventually, have a strong TD background? Do you want to make a difference rather than being a number out of many? You’re a great communicator and an even better problem solver? You envision new workflows and processes, and ideas are an inspiration to your team and, as generic as it sounds, think outside the box? Well, it’s you we’re looking for.

You will be part of the Team producing DIE HEINZELS - NEUE MÜTZEN, NEUE MISSION - The sequel of the already very successful movie: DIE HEINZELS - Rückkehr der Heinzelmännchen. Together with Seru Animation & Akkord we’ll produce this movie set for release in the third quarter of 2024. Learn more about the Movie here.
