PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Motion Graphics Artist: Paramount/CBS - "The Doctors" 1st and 2nd Season
I am responsible for much of the medical animation and show package design.
On the doctors, we use a combination of software packages for creating our medical animations. In 3D Studio max we use the Zygote male and female figure packages rendered in V-Ray and Mental Ray as well as poser models for morph target animation when called for.  We use Z-brush for organic modeling and creating normal and/or displacement maps when more detail is needed. We have also begun to implement RealFlow for liquid dynamic simulations. Finally, we design, animate  and composite the final scene in After Effects. We also, of course, use Illustrator and Photoshop, as needed.
