Job Title

Head of London Commercials Rigging

Duties

I developed the rigging system that was used throughout the job, and was easy enough for juniors and drop-in riggers to use. This took care of full mechanical rig building, as well as basic binding, for all of the biped characters.

I also wrote additional tools to help rig character accoutrements, as well as output different rig types for use by the sim and crowd teams.

Finally I performed manual rigging where necessary. Deformation on the dragon was refined together with riggers visiting from the film department.
