Analyst at Emdeon
Motion Pictures and Film | Greater Nashville Area, US
Greetings,
My name is Kenneth Pedersen and I am a Digital Artist. I specialize in visual effects and motion graphic work. Compositing, Rotoscoping, Editing, Color Grading, Motion tracking are the my areas of expertise.
My skills are both top notch and varied. I have a voracious appetite for learning new software packages, skillsets in my field and new creative techniques. I am at my best doing problem solving and love a good challenge.
Previous to my life in Digital Art I worked in computers for 14 years in a technical support role and am very competent in troubleshooting all operating systems, web development, and networking problems, which puts me in the particular position of not only being a creative force but also being able to solve any possible technical problems I might come across.
I have three degrees, a Bachelor in Film, and two Associates, one in Digital Animation and Visual Effects, and the other in Electronics & Computer Technology. In addition, I am a font of knowledge on just about every sort of space craft and alien technology that has ever crossed the screen. I look forward to piloting your next project.
If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask. Thanks for reading this.
