SURFACING TECHNICAL DIRECTOR, LEAD LIGHTING ARTIST
For my Senior Thesis Production animated short I created early character sketches, official character model sheets, and key illustrations for sets, props, and environments. I storyboarded and edited animatic sequences. I modeled, sculpted, and textured two main character models. I created seven master lighting templates and did shot lighting and compositing for 50 shots. I created surfacing materials and tools to be used for all asset textures. I also created Maya, Arnold, and Nuke render pipeline tutorials.
