davezak BIO

Of all the things which can drive creativity, the value of simply thinking different from the very first step towers above them all. Without technical skills, a creative endeavor is a process which lacks the final step. But without a passion for creativity, technical skills are the last step of a process that never really begins.

Dave Zak has dedicated himself to an intimate knowledge of the creative process. With a background in traditional art, music, and technical training in all forms of design, print, web, photography, 3D, animation, film and motion graphics, he has all the technical skills needed to execute on that creativity. He specialized in design, motion graphics and editing to music. Dave has participated in corporate and small business design projects which have included music videos, commercials, animated logos, fliers, web pages, business cards, sound work and branding. His software competency includes Maya, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Flash and After Effects.

Dave has a diploma in Multimedia Design, an advanced diploma in Computer Animation and is in his last steps of finishing his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree specializing in Visual Arts.  Dave recently competed as a finalist in the Ontario 2008 ACE student entrepreneur awards and is training to become a certified Flame operator.
