Mid-Level Nuke Compositors - Vancouver

The Company of Science and Art created an application called After Effects way back in the early nineties. After Effects, for a time, was known to many artists as ‘CoSA.’ When Aldus bought the Company of Science and Art, and was in turn bought by Adobe, the CoSA brand all but disappeared. We’ve always liked the name. As homage to the early days of digital VFX, and in the spirit of combining science with art, we decided to call our company CoSA VFX.
