"San Francisco Camera Crew: Hello, I am a production artist from the Pacific Northwest and have recently made the move to San Francisco. My field of study at WWU was in Communications with an emphasis on media production. Most of my skills, however, have been self-taught. At a very young age, my parents noticed my love for digital art and helped me get my hands on some 3D software. I have been using Cinema 4D for eleven years now. I worked freelance in Eastern Washington creating commercials, music videos and filming live productions for local events. I have four years of professional experience on many creative projects that included writing, filming, animation, editing, and compositing. Whether it’s a product, commercial or branding, I love telling stories with whichever medium will best convey the narrative. Feel free to ask any questions. Warm regards, Kyle Software:​ Cinema 4D​ Zbrush 3D Coat After Effects Premiere Pro Photoshop ​ Skills:​ Motion Design​ Video Production Editing Compositing ​"
