For four years, I maintained a high level of detail and consistency while processing thousands of 3D printed faces for stop-motion puppets on The Boxtrolls and Kubo and the Two Strings.Pulled powder based parts and resin based parts off printers on a daily basis.Each face needed a unique approach for reinforcing, scraping, sanding, dipping in glue, magnetizing, glossing, and dulling before it was ready to deliver to the face library.Met multiple deadlines per day, making shot deliveries that were essential to keeping the production on schedule.Communicated with my team, the model shop, the RP production team, the face librarians, and supervisors to assure satisfaction on all sides and a quick turnaround.
