I’ve been working in the motion picture industry since 2001, both as a Character and Pipeline Technical Director (TD). The following links outline my technical accomplishments, film credits and work samples for the motion picture industry.
2D to 3D Stereoscopic Conversion
For the uninitiated, a Character-TD is simply responsible for getting computer generated (CG) characters on-screen as directed. This work requires coordinating with multiple departments, producing and delivering digital “puppets” to animation, motion capture, and the final articulated high resolution geometry to lighting. It’s a technical and artistically demanding occupation which requires a background in sculpture, anatomy, coding and kinematics.
Similarly, a Pipeline-TD codes and debugs artist tools for the creation and processing of digital assets within the proprietary framework of a Visual Effects studio.
While the hours are long, and deadlines stressful, I’ve found this work exciting and rewarding. I certainly consider myself fortunate to have achieved this unlikely aspiration.
