Direct and coordinate the fabrication of models or samples and the drafting of working drawings and specification sheets from sketches.
Sketch or draw objects to be crafted.
Lay out and draw schematic, orthographic, or angle views to depict functional relationships of components, assemblies, systems, and machines.
Prepare and revise initial game sketches using two- and three-dimensional graphical design software.
Program computerized graphic effects.
Prepare geometric layouts from graphic displays, using computer-assisted drafting software or drafting instruments and graph paper.

Develop final construction plans that include aesthetic representations of the structure or details for its construction.
Modify and refine designs, using working models, to conform with customer specifications, production limitations, or changes in design trends.
Reposition machines to make additional holes or cuts.
Put in padding and shaping materials.
Implement shadow and reflection in the scene;
Make objects or characters appear lifelike by manipulating light, color, texture, shadow, and transparency, or manipulating static images to give the illusion of motion.
Create artificial light, using flashes and reflectors.
Observe pictures through monitors and direct camera and video staff concerning shading and composition.
Compose and frame each shot, applying the technical aspects of light, lenses, film, filters, and camera settings to achieve the effects sought by directors.
Render design ideas in form of paste-ups or drawings.
Apply or mount acoustical tile or blocks, strips, or sheets of shock-absorbing materials to ceilings or walls of buildings to reduce reflection of sound or to decorate rooms.
Program computerized graphic effects.
Install skylights on roofs to increase natural light inside structures or to reduce energy costs.
Produce images of objects on film, using radiographic techniques.
Cut and attach mounting strips, metal or wood moldings, rubber gaskets, or metal clips to surfaces in preparation for mirror installation.
