Serves as CG Supervisor, but also as lead Pipeline TD on our latest project. Reworking and adding tons of feature to our current pipeline. Took the liberty of adding all the wish list items I've ever had at other studios and implemented them here. Giving us one Seriously flexible Pipeline :)

Montreal

Initial mandate included optimizing / reworking the pipeline, to streamline and automate scene building for both CFX and Lighting Dept, while also serving as interim CFX Lead and CG SupervisorLater, worked closely with VFX sup to define the technical approach for each new project, while also writing custom tools and pipeline solutions for each project when needed. Writing a simple crowd system for example, for the Supercell project, to populate an Arena.Most recently, for "Cracké - Family Scramble", I adapted and tweaked the pipeline heavily to ease the workflow of creating a TV Series. By creating processes to automate scene creating and hand-off to each department. And then allowing for the automatic lighting and compositing of each shot based on the time of day and what set was used. All controllable thru the Shotgun web page. Once Animation was done, it was Rendered and Comped automatically.

While being VFX/CG Supervisor, I often wore many hats, be it as a Senior Lighter or Senior Generalist on project that demanded more flexibility. Sometimes doing complete shots, from VFX, animation, lighting to comp.While there I also added Python scripting to my toolset. Allowing us to completely automate the rendering process of shows like Helen's Little School and create tools to speed up workflow.
