I make things with a computer, sometimes…

So this all started about 100 years ago when teenage Phil was gifted his first camera. So long ago that it actually had real film in it. Real. Film.

After many years of developing my aesthetic with lighting and composition, now with considerable more life experience under my belt. The creative in me that is always looking to improve started feeling restless.

That is when I discovered After Effects and something changed. I remember making my first, admittedly terrible animation. I had never experienced the complete freedom there is when creating something from nothing. And my first foray into Motion Graphics completely changed the landscape of what I thought was possible and that thought is what keeps me excited to work in this field today.

If you want to learn more than that, I was interviewed for School of Motion here:
