Our Mission
Helping filmmakers protect and elevate their creative vision from dailies through final delivery.
The Opportunity
Alter Ego is seeking an experienced Colourist to join our Vancouver team, working on episodic series and feature films.
You will work alongside world-class colourists and a talented team known for exceptional work, kindness, and a shared commitment to elevating every project. This is an opportunity to contribute your creative perspective, deepen your expertise, and build a lasting career with room to grow.
We are looking for an artist who combines a discerning eye with technical confidence and strong communication skills. You enjoy working with clients, understand the importance of listening, and know how to guide a collaborative session toward a result that serves the filmmaker’s vision.
The Role
As a Colourist at Alter Ego, you will:
- Collaborate with filmmakers and creative teams to develop looks that protect the intent of the work and elevate its visual storytelling.
- Deliver exceptional colour grading across episodic series and feature films, maintaining consistency throughout each project.
- Lead client sessions with confidence, care, and professionalism, translating creative direction and feedback into thoughtful grading decisions.
- Work proficiently in Baselight and DaVinci Resolve.
- Collaborate with production, editorial, VFX, and finishing teams to meet creative objectives, technical requirements, and delivery schedules.
- Communicate clearly about project progress, priorities, and challenges.
- Share knowledge, contribute to workflow improvements, and support colleagues across the facility.
What You Bring
- Five or more years of professional experience as a colourist, with credits spanning episodic series and feature films.
- Demonstrated professional proficiency in both Baselight and DaVinci Resolve.
- A strong reel showcasing creative judgment, visual range, and attention to detail.
- A thorough understanding of colour management, grading workflows, and finishing standards.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to build trusted client relationships.
- An organised, dependable approach and the ability to remain focused and constructive under deadline pressure.
- Initiative, generosity, and a willingness to contribute to the success of the whole team.
Working at Alter Ego
We believe the way we work together matters as much as the work we deliver. We value people who treat others with respect, take pride in their craft, and willingly step in where help is needed.
That means supporting a colleague, helping solve a problem, or taking an extra moment to make a client feel welcome. Everyone plays a part in making Alter Ego a facility where staff and clients want to work.
What We Offer
- An annual salary of $110,000+ CAD, based on experience and qualifications.
- Full benefits.
- Three weeks of paid vacation.
- The opportunity to work alongside world-class colourists and an accomplished creative team.
- Opportunities to develop your craft and grow within the company.
