Hi hope you’re doing well,
I have seen the enterprising journey from being a team member to a team lead, wherein I have developed my production and troubleshooting skills by working with various well-known names associated with the film production industry in the past five years.The technical skills I learn made me work all parts of production solving problems.
After an extensive research about series of performance capture tests and understanding their design & workflow, I successfully managed to graduate in Creative Technologies with a distinction from Media Design School – Auckland. This research made me work in all the aspects of animation and troubleshoot all the problems.

| The Green Fairy (Short) (lead motion capture technician) Conical

Hey Sagar,
It was very cool to meet you yesterday! The area of expertise you’re in is unique and I was especially impressed to hear you building your own manual motion capture using iPhone and Canon cameras.
I’m also on the advisory board for Animation College and I definitely need to introduce you to them. Your technical knowledge in the animation industry would be very beneficial to them I reckon!
I’m away in Europe for a while, but when I get back let’s catch up.
