Why be a Runner?
Running is the best way to get your foot in the door at DNEG. All our Runners join us with the aim of moving up in the business, managing, and supporting VFX production.

What is the career route for a Production Runner?
Our Production Runners are looking to move into VFX Production roles; starting as a Runner you move into a Production Assistant role on your first show, then into coordination and beyond until you are an award winning VFX Producer

Once you are promoted to a Production Assistant, you will work closely with the team to help manage the production of shows and be responsible for communicating with artists, supervisors, different departments, and the clients to meet everyone's expectations.
