I'm very interested in talking with VR-1. I'm originally from Colorado and would have no problem relocating. I sent a resume last week but I also wanted to make you aware that I have quite a bit of experience in all aspects of production, including writing and designing tools (maxscript), establishing studio wide workflow and pipeline, asset management and tracking as well as the creative rolls I represented in my resume. I'd love to talk to you and find out more about what's going on there. Thank's for your time.

p.s. Here's a breif summary of an animation system I designed an implemented several years ago
