Record Breaker is a short film in response to the prompt "Small World". It was completed by a team of seven over the span of three months. My responsibilities included project management, concept art lead, story, modeling, and surfacing.
Project Management
As Project Manager, I created and maintained four spreadsheets to track the tasks of team members, the progress of the film, and the time spent by each team member. This included a calendar, asset list, time log, and shot sheet. I was also in charge of distributing tasks evenly, leading meetings, managing conflict, and communication with our professor on behalf of the team.
Time Log- Sorted by week and color coded by section of pipeline
Shot Sheet- with thumbnails and drop downs
Calendar- Provided by professor and edited as needed
Asset List- with priority sections and drop downs
Concept Art
As Concept Art Lead I created all pieces of art for the two main characters. I also coordinated with other artists on the team to maintain consistency of the art style.

Modeling
The gramophone was completely my work and inspired by Amanda Blettner. Goggles were a joint effort by myself and Evan Dickenson.
Surfacing
My main role in surfacing was the creation of a pattern that would be used as wallpaper on the walls. I created a repeatable design and applied this in substance painter along with texture and some dirt.
Poster & End Credits
At the end of the project, I designed and created an advertising poster inspired by 50's racing posters. I also created all drivers license's included in the credits. I completed all of the credits animation in aftereffects.
