Introducing Surface Pro 9
As the UI Production Director for the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 sizzle video, I was responsible for leading the creation of UI animations and overseeing a talented team of animators. My responsibilities included:
- Team Leadership: Guided and directed a team of animators to bring the UI screens to life, ensuring high-quality work that met Microsoft's standards.
- On-Set Resource: Advised talent on how to interact with the device naturally on camera to ensure smooth and realistic interactions.
- Device Coordination: Managed the setup and readiness of Surface Pro devices at various filming locations, including the Block 41 meeting space and Seattle Tacoma International Airport, ensuring all equipment was properly configured for filming.
Our collaborative efforts resulted in a polished and visually impressive video that accurately showcased the capabilities of the Surface Pro 9. I am proud of my contributions to this project and confident in my ability to lead and manage UI animation projects of this scale and complexity.
