Kelly Snapka is a Technical Art Manager at Lowe’s Innovation Labs. He possess expertise in cinematics, max, game development, digital art, art direction and 26 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Kelly is quite the Jack-of-all-trades, not only are his Art Direction skills top notch, but he can get down and code like the best of them. In Technical Art alone he's a triple threat with deep knowledge in: MaxScript, Maya Python, and MotionBuilder SDK. Building pipelines with Kelly has been a truly pleasurable experience. He's one of the best." and "Kelly Snapka is a rare breed of artist- he wears many hats both artistic and management, and he wears them all well. This type of versatility was never more apparent than the work he did for cinematics for Saints Row: The Third. Early in the project Kelly oversaw much of the work that went into the cinematics. Then, when crunch time hit, I found myself overloaded, even after working extra hours. To mitigate from becoming a bottleneck to the pipeline, I asked Kelly to help out with the various job sheets and outsource managing in order to hit our tight deadlines. I had the utmost confidence he could do this- he's been through many project cycles and is a true professional in these matters. I also delegated the entire cinematic lighting pipeline to him, in which he managed and art directed outsourcers to light all of our cinematics. Not only did he deliver, but he did so on time, and to a quality level expected of a studio level individual. In addition to assisting with the asset creation, Kelly also effectively served as the final say in cinematics when disputes arose. His level headedness and ability to think courses of action through helped us to take the correct course and make the tough calls that needed to be made. I can honestly say that I couldn't have completed my work on Saints Row The Third without Kelly Snapka. He is an amazing asset to have on any project."
