I was originally hired by the VFX department to update the Avid during the previs stage to run exports and conform our sequences to the latest edit. As time went on, my role evolved as I took on more duties and responsibilities and started to oversee the delivery of VFX shots, until I ultimately gained a credit as VFX Editor for the film. 

In this role I also trained my own assistant, who because responsible for prepping screenings and updating documents on the asset management network.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists is a stereoscopic stop-motion animation feature film, due for release in March 2012.
