I've been teaching various areas of Multimedia such as: Graphic Design, Video Production, Motion Graphics, 3D, and Photography for many years. I've lead a Motion Graphics and Film Groups with 300+ members and have done training workshops and seminars on various topics. I like to explain things with a simple to understand manner and often find ways to help you learn at your personal pace.

You'll learn to use a methodical approach to creating your project and techniques to create a better workflow. There are multiple ways to achieve a goal in a project so we can go over the pro and cons with them.

But before I start Designing, Creating Products, or Wood Working, I start my morning Day Trading. I enjoy the intricacies of trading stocks, studying charts, and doing some analysis, and enjoy teaching how to trade the stock market and what it takes to be a Day Trader!

Just let me know how I can help you in this industry!

Photography

Photography

I've been in photography for many years and have done professional photography for events, billboards, magazines, print, websites and products. I have planned events along side the coordinator to ensure a good shoot outcome taking into consideration various lighting issues. Relying on composition, I have been able to capture products and models in the best way possible according to the scenery or setup we have. Using the right camera settings to capture the perfect image is an important process I take prior to shooting by analyzing the scene and deciding on proper direction.

EDITORS: - Creating a rough cut. - Cuts and Transitions. - Story pacing. - Setting the mood for your viewers. - Adding effects. - Color correcting. John

Very knowledgeable and excellent tutor

John has been teaching me Adobe After Effects. I had no familiarity with the system, but after describing my goals, John was able to immediately get me familiar with the features of the system. He has been extremely patient and always explains things very clearly. I feel very lucky to have found him and will definitely continue learning from him

Did a lesson for my son who wants to be a YouTuber. John was very patient and knowledgeable. He provided a lot of good information and “tricks” which my son is excited to put into his videos. He answered all the questions my son had and he immediately got to work after the lesson on his videos. He is excited to continue his journey and is looking forward to the next lesson. Highly recommend John.
