For
5 years, I was the creative director of a production studio called
inMotion. By Creative Director, I mean the 2D, 3D, interactive, web,
DVD design guy. I left in October 2003 and incorporated under the name
Q media design (www.qmediadesign.ca)
Most
of my current portfolio work is still in production, so I usually
direct people to the inMotion portfolio section where I was responsible
for all of the motion graphic design (http://www.inmotion.ca/portfolio.asp).
Prior to that I was one part of a 2 man animation team for the 1st
season of Kevin Spencer, a cartoon on the Canadian Comedy Network,
which was created entirely with Photoshop and After Effects.
