About

     Having never worked with a full cinematic team brought some interesting challenges for me on this project such as learning MotionBuilder and working with motion capture assets among others. Working with such a large team was a unique experience as well. It allowed me to solely focus on my cinematic duties and to perfect our pipeline, unlike working on smaller projects where I had to wear multiple hats and move around quite a bit.

​

     I've also acted in a supporting role as a liaison between the cinematic department and the design team. Here, I work with design to determine where our scenes starting and ending locations are as well as to maintain a consistent feel as the player moves from real-time to pre-rendered conditions and back again. 

     Whenever characters and props change in our ever-changing game cycle, I need to make adjustments to our motionbuilder assets to ensure a 1 to 1 matchup so all animations play correctly.

Other day to day duties:

• Preparing and organizing MotionBuilder files for layout and animation

• Wired up cinematics in-game through use of the Lith-Tech editor and it’s proprietary scripting

• Used Maya to convert game characters and objects for animation within MotionBuilder

• Placement of set dressing for all cinematic scenes

• Tracking, solving and retargeting of motion capture data for use in MotionBuilder

• Rendering and storage of scenes
