My responsibilities include handling all 3D modeling, lighting, texturing, rigging, animation, and rendering of 3D related content. I was also responsible for all 2D animation for our CD-Rom and Web based training courses. I am required to work closely with scriptwriters, video producers, and multimedia designers to achieve a finished animation. I consult with the scriptwriters to help estimate the total time and difficulty a given animation may require. I handled the creation of graphics for our 3D, 2D, and web based projects, as well as assisting the web designers with scripting work for web courses. I also handle any technical problems that may arise between the animations, video producers, and multimedia designers.
