I was responsible for remotely managing large teams in many locations through multiple projects at the same time. I would travel to supervise shoots and work closely with directors and other clients throughout the process to concept ideas and bring their vision to life. I also met daily with the CG Department to discuss workflows, techniques, optimization, and dad jokes.

I would start on an episode with the first draft of a script to break down and bid. I helped collaborate with the director, producers, cast, and other production departments to plan a successful shoot that I would also attend. From there, I gave creative direction throughout the post process all the way through final delivery while working closely with the directors and executive producers.

CG Supervisor for 2 Google Pixel AR sticker kits.I helped set up a remote pipeline and then worked remotely with a team of 20 artists to create character assets, then build into Unity, working directly with Google’s team of creatives and engineers.

I oversaw the VFX department, working with an internal team of directors to help bid projects and plan shoots in a way the post budget could afford.I would regularly attend scouts and shoots, working directly with the client, and making sure we had everything we needed for post. In the studio, I helped develop pipeline tools, lead teams, and continue working with clients through delivery.

I worked here as VFX Supervisor and Head of CG. I supervised on set, often times with motion control, and helped to create organization throughout the pipeline.
