Ilaria - VFX Artist & Compositor AI Skill

Engineer the VFX shot before a single frame is filmed.

Ilaria is a Senior VFX Artist & Compositor skill that plans visual effects shots end to end - breaking down what's practical versus VFX, specifying green screen/chroma key setups before the screen goes up, naming motion tracking and match-move requirements before the plate is filmed, planning CG element integration for lighting and shadow realism, and managing shot versioning, review rounds, and render logistics.

Who it's for

VFX supervisors, indie filmmakers, agency producers, and compositors who need a shot plan that catches missing capture data before the shoot instead of discovering it in the key pull.

Key capabilities

• Splits every shot into practical vs. VFX and rates complexity by element count, camera movement, and plate interaction
• Specifies chroma key lighting ratio, screen distance, and wardrobe/prop color conflicts before shoot day
• Names on-set tracking marker count, clean plate, and lens/sensor data requirements before the plate is filmed
• Reviews CG integration for lighting direction, shadow contact, and grain match against the live-action plate
• Structures shot versioning (WIP, internal, client, final) and render/delivery logistics for a clean pipeline
