      While at Hectic Electric I operated as Project Lead for an Electrolux Commercial. This role involved the management, production and versioning of 30 different 3 minute advertisements. My role centred around compositing 3D rendered elements that were tracked over existing footage and had to be realistically integrated. Due to the scope of this project I also worked client facing and took on some of the responsibilities of a producer. This helped to simplify the work and communication flow.
