• Production Designer, Lead Character Artist at OVFX Studio

  Baltimore, United States of America

  March 2019 - July 2023

  As a small, startup studio, we wore many hats. My background in film (directing, editing, writing, storyboards) helped dictate what I could do here. I oversaw the previz of storyboards, until that role could be delegated to one of our excellent Storyboard Artists, oversaw all of previz production -- working with our Concept Artists, 3D modelers, Key Artists, and our Environment Artists to maintain the consistent art style for the film, and to keep the nuances of character creation and motivations for even what they wore and had in their homes into account. I also did many of the early concept sculpts and rigs and animation for before the movie's production was pushed to use the Unreal Engine. First, we were doing the traditional route, using renderers like Renderman, then Arnold, out of Maya to get the look we wanted.
