Work History
Joint Head of 3D
The Mill
Bangalore
02.2024 - 02.2025
- I held the position of managing the Mill India 3D team alongside a co-head of 3D. My responsibilities included overseeing the Assets, Animation, Rigging, DMP, and Groom teams. In terms of communication and collaboration, the objective was to minimize escalations, provide advance notice of upcoming projects, enhance relationships, and secure additional work. I focused on establishing strong connections with my counterparts (Heads of 3D) at various sites, ensuring at least quarterly meetings with each, and compiling reports on these interactions. Throughout the year, I aimed to achieve a minimum of two engagements with all sites. Additionally, I worked closely with the DFX Supervisors and other department heads to refine our workflows and decrease internal escalations. Regarding deliveries, it was essential to ensure that teams met their shot deadlines. I conducted weekly check-ins with the Supervisors to stay informed about ongoing projects and any challenges that arose, escalating issues to me as necessary. I maintained vigilance over potential escalations, addressing them promptly and implementing measures to prevent recurrence. I personally followed up and resolved issues with the sites to demonstrate our commitment to their concerns. For the growth and development of the teams, I organized training sessions for artists to enhance their skills and facilitate promotions with the support of the Training department.
