Summary

I have almost 25 years experience in feature film animation, I've established myself as a supervisor level character modeler. For the past few years I supervised several teams across multiple films, as well as slotting into a senior role when needed. My role consisted of making sure all models were of the highest quality and captured the vision of the Director within a production schedule.
I worked closely with Rigging to make
sure that models met not only the
standard set of technical parameters, but
also fulfilled any specific criteria for
animation
