About Ted and Centermotion
I love the art of story telling. Transferring a vision in your mind to others via video, paint, language, sound and other mediums.
Over the years I was privileged to be a part of this art semi professionally. My first exposure to a film set was as an extra in My Best Friend’s Wedding starring Julia Roberts and a few other 90s films.
Later I studied under Daniel Calvisi a former Miramax story analyst and Cinematography with Shane Hurlbut ASC. Though my primary education and career is in engineering computer and data technology; I will never lose my passion for story telling.
