Role: Department Producer for FX

Kiriko was one of the most challenging projects I encountered at Blizzard Entertainment, which is why it’s first on here! With an incredibly tight budget and schedule, there was multiple iterations of scope on the department level. There was a great deal of cross department collaboration between FX and front end departments such as Layout/Animation/Modeling, as most of the FX here were performative/custom requiring torrii gate placement & potential clean up/shot sculpt.

FX: extinguisher gas, Torii Gates, gun muzzle flashes, tears, teleportation FX, magical healing fx, sparks etc.

The War Within is the first installment of World of Warcraft’s World Soul Trilogy - It is World of Warcraft’s 11th expansion. This project was a labor of love as the animators used live reference re-enacting the full cinematic as reference for the character performance. The FX team went down to the local river and played around in the sand for their reference.

Role: Development Department Producer for FX

This project required heavy collaboration across the animation pipeline during the FX R&D stage to delivery to downstream.

My team and I employed multiple cost effective strategies in order to save time and budget. As early as the previsualization phase, we were having river blocking discussions to to reduce the sim cost per shot for the river water.

For the Mephisto’s Aveoli activation phase, this was all one sim carried across shots in order to be cost effective.
