The Graphics Wizard
Written By: Joe Scacciaferro
For the past year Ferro Productions has been taking you behind the scenes of major events and network broadcasts. During that time we, Ferro Productions, have been busy producing dozens of our own network projects. Via our FaceBook/Twitter pages and articles you have come to know many of our teams names and faces. You have been able to see first hand who’s who and what they’ve accomplished.
In this new series of blogs you will meet and appreciate the team behind OUR scenes. The team that spends countless hours designing and editing our graphics, animations, transition and at times, entire 3D presentations. These masters of the digital art move our shows from good to awesome. They are the icing on our cake. Without them it’s just cake. With them it’s an inspired celebratory desert. It’s their art that draws you in when you are watching a Super Bowl commercial. It’s their art that makes you do a double take when you see a photo that looks real but you know it can’t be. These are the master of a “black” art known as Digital Design, Enhancement and Animation. (D2EA)
Ferro has one of the best “Black Art” Wizards. Chronologically, you would assume him to be a “newbie”. If your scan his portfolio and you’d assume him to be a seasoned vet . You see, even age is an illusion for them to manipulated . It is all part of their magic.
Each week I will sit down with our Wizard, Matt Swensen, and discuss how he comes to create and develop these master pieces. Without revealing to many of the dark secrets we will begin to have an appreciation of Swen and his team.
