Sean Fitzroy’s Summary
I'm an Internet producer, technologist, filmmaker and creative academic with expertise in video software product management, and community evangelism.
Recently I helped build the future of Internet TV at Brightcove where I managed relationships with strategic technology partners such as On2 and TiVo, media organizations such as The New York Times, and our community of content producers and beta-testers. I also designed the encoding and delivery specifications for all Brightcove-supported video formats as well as Brightcove's desktop encoding product for Mac OS X. This, combined with my previous experience with the design, development, and testing of software plug-ins for Adobe After Effects at Boris FX has given me significant technical expertise in video formats, and codecs combined with a high-level perspective of video production and distribution workflows within the industry.
As a member of the Interactive Media Design faculty at The New England Institute of Art, I developed the curriculum for the baccalaureate concentration in Digital Video and teach courses in social media, Internet video production and distribution, and motion graphics.
I frequently speak at conferences and industry events on disruptive technologies and processes in digital filmmaking and distribution and on the effective use of social media for media arts professionals and organizations. My production background included producing videos for clients such as Bose and Harvard Business School and have conducted advanced training seminars and workshops for clients such as WGBH, NBC, Raytheon, Polaroid, and Avid in Boston and New York.
I dropped out of high school to attend college early on a full academic scholarship where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with Bachelor of Science degree in Media Production. I have an iconoclastic entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy rooting for the underdog and taking the road less traveled.
