Approved Subjects

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop

I have worked Adobe Photoshop for the past 27 years. I have used this program from everything to photo restoration, to making textures for 3D programs, to creating thumbnails for YouTube. I know this program very well!
Animation

Animation

I have worked in the animation industry for 13 years on feature films, television, and video games. I have also taught animation to 5th -10th graders as well as on the college level for a year. I have also won awards for my efforts while teaching on the college level.
Autodesk Maya

Autodesk Maya

Hello! I have been working with Maya for over 13 years in the realms of video games to feature films! In my tenure, I have also taught 8 different classes in the subject on the college and high school levels and have disciplines in animation, modeling, lighting, and rendering. I currently hold two degrees in these disciplines which will benefit any student.
CSS

CSS

I have worked with CSS programs since 1993. The main parts of CSS I excel at showing as those that relate to video production. Having using After Effects, Premiere, and Photoshop. If a student needs these programs for other ways, such as photo editing, airbrushing, visual effects, I'm more than capable instructing students.
Macintosh

Macintosh

I have been working with Apple OS since age 12. I am now 41 and have used a total three operation systems in my travels; Mac Os, Windows, and Lunix systems in the field of 3D animation and graphic design.
Video Production

Video Production

With multiple degrees in Animation, I have used these skills in different ways over my vast career. I have the ability to edit live video using linear/ non linear equipment. With programs like Adobe Premiere I can show key techniques such timing and storytelling while teaching the ins and outs of the program. (Not to mention really great tips and tricks to increase speed and workflow.)

first lesson

It was a great start to a very dense and interesting program that only deepened my enthusiasm to learn more about it

Jorge, 3 lessons with Joe

Patient, Knowledgeable, Helpful

Joe is helping me learn to animate in Maya! I’m thankful for the help. I’ve come to understand the program more since I started working with him, which in turn has made my life a lot easier :)

Claire, 10 lessons with Joe

Awesome Tutor

In only two sessions, Joe has been extremely helpful. We were able to cover the basics of Adobe Pr as well as more advanced controls. I would recommend him to anyone looking to further their video editing skills!

Jackie, 2 lessons with Joe

Excellent Tutor

He is so patience and easy to understand and I am so happy I was able to understand about Light (maya). I was so frustrated before I found him and now I am getting it.

Laura, 5 lessons with Joe

Patient, effective and personable.

Joe was an excellent, easy to understand instructor who listened and catered to my needs. Our first lesson covered a lot of material. He was patient with my questions and easy to converse with. Thank you, Joe! I'll be back for another lesson before long.
