OBJECTIVE
I want to pursue a successful career as a 3D Character animator in the Game Industry.
EXPERIENCE
The Evangelists: A Cerebral Experiment in 3D Animation, July 2011 – present
Working as facial animator on one of the four characters which will be part of a solo exhibit by Joshua Hagler at Frey Norris Contemporary and Modern in San Francisco.
Rocket Ninja, 3D Character Animator. Mar 2011 to present (Currently working part-time)
While at Rocket Ninja, I was part of the launch of 'Wrestler Unstoppable,' a 3D Social Game. All the animations created for the game were realistic. Many of the animations required very close interaction between character models. Once the master animation was created, we then retargeted the animations to smaller size character. One of the challenging steps in this process was specifically customizing the move to the sizes of the characters while the animation recognizable.
I learned and began to understand the pipeline for making a 3D Social Game by being part of a team of multifaceted peers. Due to the collaborative nature of the project, I had a chance to learn and participate in troubleshooting problems that occurred during the animation phase of the pipeline.
Ghost Jack Entertainment LLC, Character Animator, Oct 2010 to March 2011
At Ghost Jack, I worked on creating animation content for the game 'Fist Full of Magic.' I worked directly with the Creative Director, constantly communicating regarding feedback on the shots and implementing this feedback into my work.
I animated walk cycles and acting shots for the character given to me based on a storyboard. I also animated the camera as specified in the storyboard, while working remotely adhering to tight deadline.
Google Online India LTD, Hyderabad, India, Sr. AdWords Representative 2005 to 2007
At Google, I worked with the AdWords Department. I had the chance to interact with clients through email, and recommend solutions customized to their specific advertising needs. I helped advertisers improve their ad rank, user experience on their landing page and their ROI.
Working with online customers and with teams based in India and Mountain View helped me improve my communication skills. Within six months, I was promoted to Sr AdWords Representative and within the next two months I was given the responsibility of Team Advisor. I was also part of the first team based in India that was sent to attend the International Google Sales Conference held in San Francisco.
