Deeply committed, patient, happy, and friendly Media Professional

I have been involved in various forms of media (filmmaking, special effects, animation, and graphic design, music performance, and composition), as well as production in all of these fields for over 40 years. I have worked with many well-known professionals as well.

The programs I work with, besides Photoshop, are Final Cut Pro, Sped Edit, VT 5; with Speed Edit, Lightwave, Adobe After Effects, and the complete CS suite. I have well designed lesson plans that will be compatible for any learning level. I am proficient in all these areas. I also am proficient in Pro Audio, such as Pro Tools, and have written many compositions that are also published, and some being used, at this minute.

I have approximately 35 years of experience, and am currently working (using my skills) developing programming for Digital, and Digital Mobile media. I have a very flexible schedule, and can accommodate almost anyone's schedule needs, as long as they are planned in advance.

Due to the long wait time in students making decisions, or having no payment information, I would encourage all potential students to use my option of using Skype to teach them. You can still get the same service {I can see the program, your computer screen, and anything you do. You cand see me, and everything I do]. If that works for you, I'd be glad to assist anyone who uses this form [it is the 21st century, and that's how the are doing things now]. Hope to see, and help everyone.

Best regards,

Michael P.
