- Positioning camera and object tracks within the 3D scene, validating spatial accuracy against live-action footage.
- Rendering wireframe passes over background plates to rigorously verify track accuracy before handoff.
- Partnering with Leads, production teams, and downstream VFX departments to ensure CG elements blend seamlessly into every shot.
