I manage a talented rigging team by utilizing new and old methods and tools to accomplish all rig-related asset expectations inside tight, episodic deadlines. I provide new and/or improved functions and theories that increase efficiency among our pipeline step post proposal and research and development. Communication within production steps and overall responsibility for my team and myself are traits I value with the highest regard.

I thoroughly ensure each character, prop, vehicle, set asset is rigged according to animation demand. For revision verification I will investigate asset appearance along the next pipeline step for assurance. Frequently I create mel scripts to increase workflow and production efficiency. I easily communicate with our neighbouring pipeline steps to stay informed and ahead of asset fixes and improvement potential. Additionally I have plenty of experience using an in-house auto rigger where I can troubleshoot and improve during an asset's creation or modification.

Hard/soft surface models 3D characters, props, and sets for animation to match approved 2D designs. On approval, 3D model assets are fully rigged for animation purposes using a variety of simple to advanced techniques including: Expressions, mel, animation switches, hair dynamics, etc. Efforts are overall in a constant at maintaining a philosophy for creating rigs to be simplified yet intuitive for the animator down the production pipeline. Any revisions are dealt with swiftly.
