What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a production-focused role where I can own shot/asset tracking, coordinate cross-team workflows, and apply facial MoCap knowledge to deliver version-controlled, pipeline-ready assets—supported by clear communication and room to grow.

I’m a Production Coordinator and artist with experience across high-volume performance capture and multi-department animation workflows. I’ve supported daily production workstreams across performance capture, animation, editorial, and technical departments on multiple sequences.

I maintain shot and asset tracking databases using ShotGrid, keeping milestone visibility, production reporting, and version-controlled digital asset delivery accurate. I coordinate scheduling by communicating priorities, deadlines, and dependency updates, and I troubleshoot pipeline inefficiencies by escalating technical or workflow issues to the right teams.

I’m proud of how I connect artists, supervisors, and production leadership to keep work moving smoothly. From training new production staff on tracking and process adherence to reviewing deliverables for completeness before handoff, I help ensure pipeline continuity from capture to downstream animation and editorial.
