Seth Brower’s Summary

I have always been interested in media in all forms, from my early days in stage theater, both musicals & drama. Both in front and behind the scenes I developed a drive to contribute in as many forms as I could to the medium.
This led me down a path from the stage to the screen, from on stage and in the spotlight, to behind the scenes with first the audio, and then the visual aspects.
Eventually I found my calling with compositing, and from then on pushed myself to learn the skills and techniques that would allow me to work on the big screen.
After finishing an intense university program focused in my field as the class salutatorian, I have gone on to work on two feature films so far, one which went on to win an Oscar for its Visual Effects. I have just wrapped up working on a mini-series for the HBO television network, and enjoying each new challenge that come up as an opportunity to learn new things.
