As a Character TD for this particular project, I assisted with overseeing the rigging production to make sure the rigs met the expectations for animators and held to the standards DreamWorks is known for. A lot of my time was spent providing the initial rig build notes for many dinosaurs, characters, and props, and then reviewing those assets for approval. Additionally, I had the opportunity to rig some of the props, including Bumpy's dinosaur egg, and make updates to character/creature joint placements. I gained a significant amount of experience working with creatures and quadrupeds (DINOSAURS!) through my experience on this series.

- Rig reviews (joint placement to final)
