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.
All tools are not optimal. All ideas and inventions cannot be implemented. Discovering what works best, on time and on budget, is very important work.
These challenges are met by the Technical Director.
