Jock of the bushveld

 Almost three years in production with Jock-Animation. I have been working with Duncan MacNeillie on Jock of the bushveld. We have grown so much and developed many tools to improve production pipelines and hope to lead the way in the film industry for South Africa.

My duty as TD was to script riggs for the film and produce multiple characters in weeks. From quadrupeds to bipeds and birds to incests we rigged them all. We also manage to develop our own stereoscopic rig in the time when the 3d platform was still basic in South-Africa.

With the production I have create a in-house animation tool, this was used to assist in animation libraries and character managers. The animation team could preform faster and more effective to meet their daily deadlines.

I was required to generate DCP's of the film towards the end of the production and save costs on distribution. Because this was one of the first filly animated features in South Africa a lot of ground rules was set to assist us in being capable of producing the film with a very small team. We have learned and corrected so much and will be much more effective in our future productions.
