Blake Johnson’s Summary

I would love to be a compositor/motion graphics artist in a creative, fun, inspiring environment.

I keep up a filmmaking blog at http://animivirtus.com/blog that focuses on low-budget DIY filmmaking, bringing together helpful resources and showcasing such works for filmmakers with similar means.

I was awarded Best & Outstanding Student awards in two separate high school filmmaking classes. I directed, produced and co-wrote a feature film title LATENT(CY) in my senior year of high school, after which I pursued education in Visual Effects.

Throughout high school I taught myself filmmaking, graphic and web design, read as much and as often as I could get my hands on an internet connection, and built my own websites, camera rigs and writing graphic design tutorials for my personal websites.

Film knowledge, general love of creative things, computer and digital arts aptitude, eager learner & dedicated worker.
