2D/3D Computer Graphics Artist

Responsibilities:

During my employment at GameBrains, I worked as a CG Artist on several production game titles and prototypes for the Gameboy Colour and GameBoy Advance handhelds. I did some sprite animation for NFL Madden 2002 that was published by EA Sports. I also worked on sprite animations, non-game screens and background maps for Backyard Baseball 2003 that was published by Infogrames. Other 2D graphic art that I worked on was prototyping for titles such as The Scorpion King, Aliens, Nascar and The Simpsons including a few original titles for the Gameboy Advance. I also did some 3D modelling for next generation consoles. This was a prototype of an original title that is currently being developed by GameBrains. I was mainly responsible for terrain modelling and some object modelling. I used 3d Studio Max 4, Adobe Photoshop 6, PaintShop Pro, Pro Motion and other in house software to achieve these tasks.

Sound and Video editor (short film post production)

Responsibilities:

During this time, I was responsible for editing and sequencing raw video footage and audio clips during the production of a short film. It was an Indian film called Paddikkal (Stepping Stone). It was filmed in Perth, Western Australia and was shown in Murdoch University as part of a cultural night. I used Adobe Premiere and Sound Edit 16 for this task.

Visual Basic applications programmer

Responsibilities:

I was involved in creating a simple order processing software for the client right from the conceptual phase to implementation and testing. The software was created using Visual Basic 5. I also helped with creating graphical elements using Adobe Photoshop for the clients website.
