The delivery of all shots to the client was done within strict time-scales and budget constraints, so proper management of all resources on these projects was essential. I managed many projects that have varied in design/style and size. With regards to design, the projects I managed included creature design (Ferocious Planet/Roadkill), Particles/Dynamics (The Moth Diaries), 2D/3D Set Replacement (Saving the Titanic, The Moth Diaries), Period Removal/Cleanup (CallGirl). I worked with teams of varying sizes on each of these projects, from smaller (5/6 artists - 25/30 shots) to relatively larger (20/25 artists - 150/200 shots). Each project was delivered to the clients satisfaction. I also produced two fully animated short films for the Irish Film Board, that have been well received. They are "Trid an Stoirm" directed by Fred Burdy, and "Pet Hate" directed by Andy Clarke (see below for links) With regards to my role as a post-production producer, my duties were quite similar to the concurrent VFX role, in that I was responsible for the initial quoting, overall management and eventual transfer to the client of all agreed deliverables within a specified time frame, with the main difference being that the workflows were completely different and separate from one another. Services offered by windmill that I was responsible for quoting, organising and overseeing included rushes processing, editing, title design, sound design, sound mixing, grading, online, and dubbing. Some of the projects I worked on include "Albert Nobbs", "All is by my Side", "Tasting Menu", "The Moth Diaries" and "Byzantium" to name a few. A full list is available on IMDB.
