PROJECT MANAGEMENT
For this project I was in charge of project management. This included creating spreadsheets for maintaining our overall all schedule, weekly goals, bid sheet, and asset list.
I also worked with each member of the team in establishing weekly tasks and goals in order to make sure we were able to complete the project according to our timeline.
Part of my management responsibilities also included making and giving weekly presentations for feedback and review. I collated the work for each member throughout the week and presented it to the professor and class for group feedback. This required constant communication and contact with the team in order to make sure that each person was up to date on their tasks and solve any technical or production problems.
In addition to managing production, I was in charge of setting up the pipeline on our remote projection pipeline and our school production pipeline. This entailed setting up Google file stream for the team to work remotely and then transferring those files onto our school's local render farm.
