    - Acted as Lead Designer and Animator for all feature film projects, including “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” and “Star Trek Into Darkness.”
    - Provided creative direction and feedback to designers and 3d artists assigned to each project. I also provided staff with any reference, graphics files, and/or rendered animations that I thought might be helpful in completing assignments and assuring style consistency. I was responsible for approving all designs and animations prior to being sent for client approval.
    - Worked directly with OOOii project managers to ensure that deadlines were being met and staff time was being used wisely. I would advise of any elements or reference needed from production. We would also discuss any equipment needs or potential workflow improvements.
