Job Title: Animation Supervisor
Primary Responsibilities: Manage a team of animators on a DVD feature film.

Describe a Typical Work Day:

As the supervisor, I need to work with all the departments to facilitate the needs of the production. I must also work with my leads and animators to troubleshoot creative and technical problems. I’ll meet with the riggers and programmers to develop the character and prop rigs needed for animation. I also animate shots as time permits.

What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of?

I’ve been able to work my way up from PA to Animation Supervisor in only 5 years.

What are your creative inspirations or influences? Who are your heroes?

I’m always being inspired by the people around me. I work with some very talented people, so I don’t have to look too far for inspiration. Brad Bird is an amazing storyteller.
