Mass FX Media is a Denver-based, design-forward post-production studio specializing in post-production, motion design, and visual effects for brands, documentary tv shows and films. We’re a collaborative team that values craftsmanship, direct communication, and creative problem-solving. We believe in the power of creative collisions and doing life together as humans. Our company culture promotes these values. Attention to detail is a must, which is why a candidate who is a good fit will include their favorite food as the answer for the "anything else we should know?" question on the application.

We are looking for a Post Producer to be one step ahead of our fast pace and manage our team, coordinating post-production, motion graphics and visual effects projects through the post-production workflow. The right person would have post-production experience specifically managing edits and tracking graphics or VFX shots using a shot tracking system equivalent to ftrack or ShotGrid. Experience post-producing finishing work is a bonus.

We pride ourselves in being the experts our clients seek to lead them through the creative process, and this client-facing role must keep control of client expectations and project scope diplomatically and confidently. Project types include live action edits, explainer videos, infographics, title design, data visualizations, graphics packages and typography. Clients include documentary and narrative filmmakers, showrunners, and large brands.
