Scott Moore’s Summary

I am a tenacious and resourceful professional artist. I believe in using the right tools for a job. Sometimes that means using top shelf software. Other times, know-how and creative thinking are more effective.

I distilled 70 hours of recordings from 50 interview subjects covering an 80 year history of an urban community in Building at a Crossroads on Twin Cities Public Television. I managed the work flow and creative output of a team of 7 artists animating 8 characters in a half-hour pilot episode for Frivolous Fairytales at ghOst Productions.

Hire me to ensure that your creative media projects pop instead of fizzling out.
