I fixed already completed rigs, by optimizing them, reducing their limitations and making them easier for the animators to work with.

Toon Boom Harmony Rigging Supervisor | The Strange Chores (Season 1)
I was the Rigging Supervisor for 12Field Animation’s 11 minute x 26 episode television series called The Strange Chores.
In this role, I lead a team of riggers in creating over 400 character rigs that were easy to animate with, while allowing for a large range of articulation and movement, letting animators work quickly while creating quality, intricate animation.
I trained staff who had never rigged before. I instructed my team how to approach their rigs, guided them as they completed them, troubleshot issues with them and made certain the characters remained on model and on style. I made sure that notes from the Director were carried out. And I individually checked over every rig before it was delivered to Scene Planning. On top of this, I also rigged the more complex characters myself, and designed and drew character assets as needed.
I also assisted the Design Supervisors with completing designs for rigged characters, and gave Harmony assistance to the Design team when they created Harmony props.
Another part of my job was to assist the Animation Director and his Animation team in troubleshooting complex Toon Boom issues, making sure they could animate unhindered.

While working for Cheeky Little, I flew from Melbourne to Sydney, to give their Animation and Production teams a short rigging lesson, covering the basics of using and animating with rigs.
After the Rigging team was secured, I continued with the completion of their rigs, creating complex and simple rigs quickly, while ensuring they were capable of all movement displayed in the supplied animatics. I completed over 30% of the production’s total rigs.
