CG Lead at Superfad
Superfad
February 2008 - April 2013
During my time at Fad, I went from being a cg lead on jobs to running my own jobs from pitch thru delivery. I've handled staffing recommends, estimating, and general cg project management as well I've lead as many as 3 jobs at one time but usually prefer to focus on one or two at most (depending on the complexity). I've handled shoot supervision on several jobs as well.
My experience is primarily with Softimage, Mental Ray, and After Effects. I'[ve comped my own jobs before, and i've done some simple comping to hand off. I was also responsible for most of the tracking done at Fad using Boujou.
On the technical side, I have dealt with pipeline issues and setups, workflow issues and designs.
I have stepped in on jobs to troubleshoot and handle render management and pipeline flow specific to those jobs.
