Making it right in the production stage of the project is vital to the post-production as there are certain things that are simply irreparable in post. Acts as a director of photography (DoP). Producing promos/campaign in-house cuts cost dramatically, and doing jobs requiring specialized skill or training, like that of a DoP, ourselves contributes to the efficiency of the production in terms of cost. Knowledge in lighting set-up, photography, composition is necessary for this job. Creates animations and/or objects in 3D with a high degree of creativity that may range from simple geometric shapes to the complex. Software like Cinema 4D sits in the middle of the usability and functionality spectrum, it has the right balance between how much it can do in relation to modeling, particle generation, dynamics, etc., and how user-friendly the UI is, thus it is essential to do work in Cinema 4D when different designers are engaged in a project.
