Trolley Problem is a 40-second animated short created in 15 weeks by a team of 9. I served as Co-Project Manager, Rigging Lead, and Rendering Lead.

As Co-Project Manager, I was responsible for the creation of our project management materials, including time-tracking, shot and asset lists, and scheduling. As well, I worked with my Co-Project Manager, Grace Alanis, to hold regular one-on-one check-ins with our team members as well as all-hands meetings several times a week.

Each of our four characters had a different rig setup including a stationary character, a wooden biped, a trio of characters combined into one rig, and a train. The base of each of these rigs was created within python, then tweaked to meet each character’s specific needs.
