Pretty Kitty

Overview

Pretty Kitty was a team-based animated production completed under fixed academic delivery milestones. I served as Lead Technical Animator, supporting a hybrid 2D/3D animation pipeline by developing rigs, optimized assets, and workflow solutions that allowed multiple disciplines to animate simultaneously. My work focused on asset optimization, lighting, and render quality control to ensure consistent, production-ready results.
