With this blog I hope to capture interest and discussion of 3 different industries. VFX, Video Production, as well as Photography. Attempting to be involved in all three, I am really looking forward to this as being a creative hub where I can finally combine and manage all my interests in one focused manner. Who knows... If there is enough interest I might even expand this beyond a blog in the future!
I am currently preparing artist, project and studio spotlight articles. Personal tutorials focused around my knowledge or others on hardware, software, setups or anything revolving around the creative industry. Announcement tidbits here and there for subjects relating. I'll also be talking alot about the importance of online presence as well as marketing strategies. If you know someone that has a solid offering and interest in contributing to any of these topics then please have them message me so we can talk. I'll be glad to plug people, things or companies I feel worthy and in doing this it will also help their websites a little on populating the internet.
A few words about my job:
I am currently employeed at Karen Marie Taylor LLC. The majority of what I handle there includes a leading role in marketing, design, advanced image manipulation as well working on some other things that are under NDA's.
The websites can be viewed here:
(under massive redesign and price change to match Karen's fine art more appropriately. I'll post an artist spotlight when I'm finished!)
A few words about myself:
I am a VFX junkie. Too much in fact! I love so many aspects of it that I have this terrible habit of wanting to know how to do "everything". I could pretty much guarantee that I would have my dream job in some sort of video production or fx house by now but I've set myself behind by never mastering "one thing". But hey... I know my way around alot of topics and software now because of it!
My main software:
Final Cut Studio
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe After Effects
Adobe Dreamweaver
Adobe Flash
Adobe Premier (only if someone demands)
Maya Unlimited
ZBrush
I own and use several Mac's and PC's but I'm finding that I really have no use to be bothered with the drama that surrounds PC's anymore. Utilities and anti-virus' hog my system as well as my time and I just can't afford to lose either anymore!
My main rig is a Powermac Quad with a Multi-Apple Display setup (30 inch in the middle and two 23's on the sides) built from Silverado Systems. As soon as Apple decides to release the new displays then I'll be calling them up to get an all new explosive setup! My main portable is a newer 15 inch Macbook Pro.
Well, enough about me. Stay tuned and I'll be adding content as I get approvals on them. When I get a chance I'll also do a little photoshop/html madness to get this page up to par. Sorry its a bit plain ATM. Remember to subscribe to my twitter feed for updates and more!
