Technical Direction

Elements in an animated movie must be carefully designed and crafted, refined and tested to meet requirements of the movie, the intent of the Director and the needs of the Animators. Often more than a general knowledge of Modeling, Rigging and Programming is required. Difficult problems require subject matter experts.
