Vitality

Technical Director

Vitality is a five minute animation film, directed by Jonathan Salevao, on which I am a Technical Director. My main role is to lead, coordinate, and give art direction to the VSFX team that is creating the environments, texturing and shading, lighting, adding FX, rendering, and compositing the film. I receive the models and animation from the director and producer, and I check to make sure everything is working before handing it off for look dev and scene assembly, solving any technical issues along the way. Communication is extremely important, making sure everyone is on the same page and gets things done in time. I am directly responsible for the grass and dirt in the meadow scenes, as well as the layout of that environment, for the human character shaders, for most scene assembly, rendering and compositing.
