Thoughts on Mainframe Studios

Image
I have been working as a CG Generalist for Mainframe Studios about 8 months now. It used to be known as a Rainmaker Entertainment, but Mainframe was actually the core name when it was founded in 1993.  Mainframe is known for producing the first CGI animated TV series called ReBoot, the Transformers sequels, Beast Wars: Transformers and Beast Machines: Transformers, and the majority of the entries in the Barbie film series.  Currently, my team and I are working for DreamWorks on an unannounced TV Show, which is expected to come out soon?! The trailer is out though! Stay tuned ^^ So, now this brings to a question of what is exactly my role? What are the responsibilities?  If I were to categorize where I am in the pipeline, I would say between Animation and Lighting... it's called the Shot Check!  My responsibilities are to ensure quality control via verifying that all shot check takes are matching the approved animation takes and crashing proof-free prior to passing in...
