ABOUT

Hello, my name is Jason Craft, and thank you for taking the time to checking out some of my work. I am a 30-year-old digital compositor with a great eye for detail, and take pride in my work. There's a certain quote I tend to go by, "When you do your job right, the audience won't be sure you've done anything at all."

I was born in Minnesota and have lived here most of my life. Growing up, I would always be drawing. After graduating High School in 2001, I wasn't sure that drawing was what I wanted to do with my life, so I joined the Army. It was while I was in the military that I had found my passion. On my own I would start filming shorts and adding effects to them. That is when I knew I wanted to get into the visual arts. So I moved back to Minnesota where I pursued a Bachelors Degree in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics at the Art Institutes International Minnesota.

For the last three years, I've been working at Ghost Productions as the Lead compositor in Roseville, MN. Here, we introduce new surgical techniques, devices, and medicines to doctors and patients through Medical Animation. My job focuses on incorporating 3D footage, audio files, logos, and 2D elements into a final video for clients.

I would say my real passion would be integrating CG into live action, but I do enjoy other aspects as well. I've been getting more into Zbrush sculpting, lighting and texturing. I usually have something in the works, where in my free time I do enjoy working on my own short VFX pieces, modeling or doing some sort of hands on project.
