Louis Trapani’s Summary
As a media developer in both conventional media and new media, I keep on top of new technologies and new ways of distribution of content. Having worked in visual mediums as well as audio/video mediums and trained in traditional art and commercial illustration, it has given me a great foundation in media communication.
Today, I am moving more and more in pioneering new media and staying on the cutting edge of independent production, audio and video podcasting, and more. It's a brave new world.
