At Pixar/Disney, Chris was responsible for debugging, correcting and optimizing sequences, shots and assets as they move through the production chain. His role was to support the lighting masters when preparing the sequences, especially those with a large load of visual effects or with many characters. He was also responsible for the creation of diagnostic tools and the research of good practices. I worked between different departments with high technical and creative requirements.
