Pipeline TD - Reel FX Creative Studios (2005-Present) |
At Reel FX I have worked on numerous film and commercial projects, soliciting feedback in order to create tools that optimize artist performance. I play a key role in implementing new systems that revolutionize how to approach and budget productions as a studio, as well as facilitating growth in the company by continually helping to reduce turnaround and improve the quality of work. |
