So far I'm down for Concept art, texturing, any visual effects, Rendering and comp but of course, this could change throughout production. Over-all I am pleased with these roles, i feel that texturing and concept art really fit in with my current 2D skills and I can use these and perhaps transfer them into the 3D workflow. Of course, visual effects have been a huge interest of mine throughout my undergrad, so I was more than willing to look at that. I will most likely be using After Effects as I am most familiar with this software and looking for any 2D effects that could be used instead of 3D ones (if any).

Being interested in compositing, I am most definitely interested in understanding rendering, so this should most probably be very informative. As for compositing, this was my specialism in my undergrad and the main role I wish to continue in. I'm unsure if we will be using Nuke or AE as of yet, but regardless, compositing would be one of the things I would be most interested in doing in this project.
