  This was an FX Apprenticeship using Houdini to work on shots from Life of Pi, The Seventh Son, and Snow White and the Huntsman in a simulated production environment. The pipeline and all assets were live even though the shots were simultaneously being completed by other artists in the studio for production. I had to report to each show's respective FX supervisor and I received a great deal of experience using Houdini and proprietary software in a large pipeline where project tracking and asset management is vital to success.
