Creating and building systems of efficiency proved to be essential to keep things moving forward in a timely manner so that all deadlines were met. To build continuity and consistency, I created and maintained a character/world guide that helped serve as a main touch point when creating scripts that contained recurring characters.

The report included the overall project status along with character name, voice talent, age, and ethnicity for all characters appearing in a given script. Show less
