Social:CG supervisor

The computer graphics supervisor, or CG supervisor, is a person involved in the production of computer-generated imagery, both animation and visual effects. Due to the variety of productions and duties required, most CG supervisors are specialized in one area such as art, programming, or management. On large productions, there might be several CG Supervisors, each concentrating on a specific area.

Typical duties of the CG supervisor include:

• Designing and implementing the technical, artistic pipeline and workflow of a production.
• Designing and possibly implementing tools used in production.
• Assisting the producer by reviewing budgets and schedules.
• Training the film crew and making sure the tools required for the project are up to the task.
• Designing and supervising the creation of CG imagery.
• Leading the technical directors (TDs) in solving problems the production faces on a day-to-day basis.
• Assisting and supervising the artists in achieving the artistic goals of the production.

Due to the variety of tasks and the obligations of problem solving as the "go-to person", the CG supervisor is usually able to handle any individual part of the production in addition to managing.
