• Present work in dailies and respond to supervisor feedback
• Mid-Level: work independently on moderately complex shots, tech check others' work, troubleshoot Nuke scripts and render performance, and script in Python to streamline repetitive tasks
• Mid-Level: provide guidance and technical support to junior artists
