They'll then make sure the ship is pointing straight, updating templates, developing tools and solving inefficiencies where and when they see them. They may do the most difficult shots in a sequence, often to get a feel for how to approach the unique problems in the sequence, and develop a look and a template to roll out. But their time is often better spent "leading" rather than doing shots themselves. Leads can handle any shot without assistance. However, there are a lot of seniors who could be leads, but would rather put their headphones on and just comp instead of dealing with all the responsibility of leading (fair enough). They may also pass on tricks, tools and templates to others, and help out mids/juniors with their problem shots. So while they'll often handle the more complicated compositing tasks, if they have any mid level shots, they'll chew through them to final with fewer rounds of feedback than a mid would. They may be very creatively proficient, but they know that their job is to hit the brief. Seniors handle almost any task with very little technical assistance from anyone else, and have the "game" down, when it comes to addressing feedback. They'll often lend a hand in helping out juniors with problems. They'll comp CG regularly, often with a template set up by a lead. Sometimes they may do their own prep, but more time consuming roto tasks are given to a junior to do. Mids are the workhorses, and can be expected to handle most tasks with occasional assistance from seniors/leads. Sometimes they'll be given a simple CG pass to integrate into the plate. Although most comp tasks that may be given to a junior will be fairly simple. They'll require a lot of hand holding, especially if they're given a comp task. Juniors handle prep a lot of prep and roto tasks.
