Ask which layers were theirs
Big shots pass through many hands. Ask an artist to point to their part of each breakdown: the roto, the comp or the CG.

Find Jobs — VFX & AnimationVFX teams hire on Artisty the same way a production does: by project, one role at a time. Post each role with the shot types, software and delivery dates, and ask for a breakdown reel as proof of work. KalaAi writes the post, and applications come back to the role for review.

Yes. Put the shot count and delivery date in the role's description, and pay by the day, the hour or the project.
The compositor builds the final shot, combining plates, CG and effects into one frame. The VFX editor manages versions and turnovers between the edit and the VFX team, and runs the reviews. Shows with heavy VFX usually need both.
Yes. Keep the role invite only while you hire, and share plates and references after you've picked your artists, under your NDA if the title is unannounced.
