My days do generally begin with a coffee. After a couple of various studios and creamer quality inconsistency, I advise learning how to consume it black. As a lead R&H, I wanted to enter a little early. There was typically a little crowd of managers that would get in early and it became the best time to informally go over new workflows and any shower epiphanies about the job that morning. As 9 rolled around we were off as usual. For the modelling department, dailies would usually start fairly early so we could get the required notes to work on for the remainder of the day. After the notes were collected the program lead makes the rounds to the other modellers on the team to give out the tasks for the day prior to beginning work with my own model, however not before some more coffee.

A lot of time the question shows up about the favorite thing I have actually dealt with, or preferred motion picture, etc. And I understand this will most likely sound a little odd to new students however I don't really have a particular favorite. I've worked on Oscar films as well as plenty that didn't do so well, and at the end of the day what I actually enjoy is the brand-new obstacles that come up. Exercising a new method to produce blend shapes for 30 animals with only a couple of staff, creating big environments, or actually sinking in to match something completely is what's interesting to me about entering every day. No matter what department you end up in, at the end of the day you're resolving issues, so if you enjoy doing that and enjoy the people around you, you will certainly have a fun time. I mean, hey, you're making money to make films.
