| Title:
3D Graphic Designer -> Lead Animator -> 3D Production Manager |
|
I was hired
as a 3D Graphic Designer at Fujitsu, creating artwork for an interactive
storybook title as a value-added supplement for Fujitsu's flagship A-life
product "FinFin". Our production team was small, and some members
were inexperienced for their roles, which gave me the opportunity to make
a larger contribution and expand my responsibilities into management.
I was promoted
to Lead Animator and later to 3D Production Manager and became involved
in all stages of title development encompassing numerous productions,
from concept stage through preplanning and pipeline, production, international
localization and marketing materials such as packaging, merchandising
and advertising.
