Jedediah Smith grew up in an isolated rural community in Southeast Alaska, where he cultivated an ‘insane genius’ approach to his obsessions, which at the time centered around music. Moving on up in the world, he graduated from The Evergreen State College in June 2008, with an emphasis in Audiovisual Media Studies.
He started out studying creative writing, math, and computer science, but was soon distracted by film and animation, which was interesting because of the fascinating intersection of aesthetics and technology necessary in its creation, and the delightful glimpses of wonder and intrigue resulting from creatively engineered moving pictures. Jed would like to think he retains some of the rigorous technical and analytical capacities from his earlier studies in the sciences, and applies those abilities in the pursuit of the artistic disciplines.
Since graduating, Jed has worked harder than ever building up his visual effects skillset, and has created a VFX Reel, demonstrating his capabilities.
This portfolio also contains a weblog featuring thoughts and ramblings about his current projects and enthusiasms.
