Objective
I am a developer and artist well versed in a number of digital and classical tools. My work has been presented via a variety of media, including internet/web, CD-ROM, DVD, and Broadcast TV. I have a meticulous attention to detail, a bottomless capacity to learn, and a love for creating engaging experiences. I am looking for a position that will allow me to use my arsenal to its fullest, as well as push my creative talents.
Skills
Flash - started with Flash 5. Am current with Flash 8 including AS 2.0, scripted animation, XML integration, video, etc.
Photoshop - high level of skill. I love serious photo manipulation.
Painter - my degree is in fine art, and so I love the degree (no pun intended) to which I am able to use those skills in this program.
Illustrator - a must for anything requiring more than Flash’s rudimentary vector tools.
After Effects - I’ve done a variety of motion graphics work in After Effects for broadcast and cd-rom both in 2.5D and 3D (with zaxwerks invigorator)
Swift 3D - beta tester as well as case study of the month, Feb. 2003.
Sound Forge/Cubase/Garage Band/Reason - I minored in music, and play a variety of instruments, as well as having gotten a second degree in Audio Engineering, so I learned to use a variety of sound editing/recording apps. I also am familiar with a number of video editing apps and am currently working through learning Final Cut Pro.
Particle Illusion - I use this for adding looped particle effects to some of my Flash sites.
Textmate - my trusty XML editor.
