Working at Charter Media provides Bob Thompson a lot challenges and rewards in terms of creating commercial spots.
Working for a cable company means a lot of spots come in and out of there. And like a lot of you out there, it's very satisfying to see your sweat and sometimes, tears, create something very memorable. I know how tight deadlines can force you to be economical in terms of using special effects. That's why I love learning and creating new tutorials to help streamline the workflow to all video and animation artists.
