Gossamer (cancelled/unreleased)

Gossamer was a 8 part high end television animation series, that was cancelled due to the bankruptcy of the parent company Bron.
Based on the book by Lois Lowry, the project was in development utilizing the Unreal engine to streamline an iterative process from previz to final.
At the time of cancellation no final shots had been produced as voice acting had just been finalized. (Voiced by Forest Whitaker, Thomasin McKenzie, Vera Farmiga)

I was hired initially as a Lead Character artist at the start of the project, to help develop the look and workflow.
This position then evolved into a Character Supervisor role as additional projects were started at Bron and I become more involved with the creative and visual development side of the projects.

Responsibilities:
· Lead a team of 3D artists to create a cast of 80+ unique stylized characters, plus crowds
· Character Supervisor utilizing Unreal Engine from previz to final
· 3D Modeled, Sculpted and Textured numerous characters
· Collaborated with artists to produce character based assets and props
· Created blendshapes and facial expressions for a variety of characters
· Cooperated closely with production/art directors to translate 2D concepts into viable 3D designs for animation
· Provided art direction and paintovers/reviews on a daily basis
· Created visual look targets and bibles for multiple projects
· Engaged with rigging and animation, developing workflows for high performance animation
· Collaborate with CG/VFX Sups + hods + pipeline team to help develop tools and real time workflows for film/tv/game
· Completed R&D tasks optimizing a film/tv workflow to perform inside of Unreal Engine
· Helped provide assets which were optimized to run inside of the Fortnite game requirements for an addional side project
