Visual Effects artist

RESPONSIBILITIES: Visual Effects/Graphics

I did the 3d work for the film which included modeling an object, lighting the object so

that it looked like it belonged in the scene, and tracked the footage for the 3d element.

I am strong in most Adobe programs primarily Photoshop, After Effects, Dreamweaver,

and Illustrator. As well as other programs such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel,

Autodesk Maya, Boujou, Nuke, Shake, and Cinema4d.

I work well in a team. I am capable of accepting feedback as well as applying it. I can

manage people.

I am focused, and able to think a situation through. I can ease a tense situation and keep

people focused.

I was part of the ITA (Information Technology A cademy) in high school, which focused on

computer sciences. Also, I was part of the Link Crew which helped transition incoming

students and offer assistance with their new environment in high school.

In college I helped out other students when they needed Photoshop and After Effects help.

My opinion was valued when I was in a group for my knowledge, and ability to tutor on both

programs. I was able to guide my groups and keep them to the schedule assigned to us.
