Tips on Applying



Show us what you can do

Recent graduate or seasoned artist, we would love to see your work.

Just remember that we get a large number of applications and so we can't always get back to you straightaway. If you are an artist we would expect to see a link to your work as part of you application..

So here are a few tips on demo reels before you apply:

  • First, make sure it’s your best work, the things you are really proud of.
  • Include an up-to-date CV and a breakdown of your work to tell us more about what you have done.
  • Online is the most accessible format for us. So, if you have your showreel on a website, let us have the link.
  • Let us know where you’re working and what you’re working on (we know you may not be able to show us anything).
  • Keep it short and to the point. Two or three minutes are all it takes to show us what you can do.
  • If you can, tell us how you did it. If you’re a compositor, show us the mattes and passes you used.

How do I apply to MPC?

The easiest way is online through our careers page.  If you can't find a role that is suitable for you contact the office you are interested in directly and they should be able to help.

What’s the best thing about working at MPC?

It has to be the people and, of course, the amazing projects you get to work on. We are very lucky to already have the world-class talent you need to create world-class visual effects.

What’s the interview process like?

First, your work will be reviewed by our heads of department. If we’re actually looking for someone with your skill set to join our team, we will contact you to find out a little more about you, what you’re looking for, what your availability is and where you are currently working. The next step is an interview, normally with the relevant head of department. We always aim to give you some feedback within the week and, even if we don’t have a role for you right away, we will still stay in touch in case a suitable position comes up.

What can I expect on my first day at MPC?

You can certainly expect to be busy. Like any company, we want you to have as much information about us as possible and there will be lots to learn.

We run our induction sessions on Mondays, so if you join us then you will have a full induction with HR and then your specific teams.
