WHAT I DID
Tracked 800+ VFX shots across four vendors, two in Hong Kong and two in South Korea. Prepared VFX reviews for the Director and sent notes back to vendors.
Handled on-set dailies and runner drives; built sync maps and multicam sequences; worked previs into the editor's cut.
Followed post to Thailand and Beijing; prepared picture turnover packages and change lists for sound and online.
Checked the 3D, Dolby Vision and IMAX versions in QC with the post team. Picked the IMAX spot-check timecodes; we found two errors, so the team did a full watch-through before delivery.
