Marshall Bock’s Experience

Senior Artist
WMS Gaming, Inc.
(Public Company; 1001-5000 employees; WMS; Gambling & Casinos industry)
March 2004 — Present (4 years 9 months)
My work here entails nearly everything I've ever pursued artistically. While lately I've been fortunate enough to focus on 3D modeling and animation (real-time and pre-rendered), the projects I've worked on in the past have allowed me the opportunity to perform many functions and experience the production process from different vantage points.
Between all of the projects in which I've been involved, I've gotten to do all of the following: concept art; storyboards; character and UI design; background paintings; 2D character, object, and graphic animation; 3D lighting, texturing, modeling, and animation; special effects; and compositing. I use the newest versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, 3D Studio Max, After Effects, and Particle Illusion on a very regular basis, often all in the same day.
This position offers me the opportunity to focus on my craft, beef up my app skills, network with amazingly talented people, and at the same time get paid for it; I am very thankful.
