About me

When I was young, about 5 or 6, my mother caught me watching a rather gory movie. She quickly turned it off and began to console me on what she saw. My first question to her was "How did they do that?". Of course the conversation went in a direction she didn't expect, I knew it was all fake and was trying to figure out how they did it. My mother tells me stories of how after watching Sesame street or the Muppet Show I always walked around moving my hand like it was operating a puppet. To this day I still look at some of the digital special effects and try to dream up ways to recreate it in "the flesh".

Additional information:
I went to school to expand on my significant knowledge base of practical special effects. When I moved to LA I learnt that a lot of the special effects being done where digital and the practical effects weren't used nearly as much as they once where. So my only choice if I wanted to continue in special effects was to learn the digital aspects. And what better way than to get a degree in Game Art & Design.
