Adam Stern
Los Angeles,CA
Summary
I have over 20 years experience as a compositor with a proven ability to meet clients needs on schedule and under budget. I've developed a strong eye for detail, lighting, color through my experience with photography and painting to create a photo realistic effect. I have led teams as a compositor as well as part of a research and development team to create tools to streamline a stereo conversion pipeline for consistency. I am organized, dependable and I enjoy working with other artists to strive for the highest quality end product possible.
