Casey Curtiss

Editor and VFX supervisor. Our workflow allowed us to use Resolve to grade the original .dpx files while editing in prores in Premiere CC. All VFX in After Effects included smoke transitions, wire removal, gun flashes, sky replacement. I was also the 1st AD on set, working with 60+ crew and large cast of 16, 7 day shoot.

Staff Editor for NMPBS, a PBS channel. Maintained media management for the station, including the ISIS. Editor on NMiF, Colores, and Public Square, as well as some promos and misc projects. Did grading and VFX work when needed. Assisted other editors on media management and technical problems.

Assisted Michael Kamins in the hour long doc. The doc was about famous painters in the history of Albuquerque. There was an enormous amount of green screen interview footage. Myself and Antony Lostetter evenly split the responsibility of keying the footage. We keyed in Avid, using Boris effects. This allowed us to be flexible in the edit. I assisted in the AMA linking of many many photographs, and adding drop-shadows to animated non-AMA pictures, all in Avid. I also managed the media, especially important give the amount of media and the fact we made so many effects in Avid, which required cleaning old renders.

Did one day on Longmire as a set PA. It was the first day of their last episode of the season and they needed more hands on deck. I agreed to one day, but because of my full time job at NMPBS and the fact that it was a 2 hour drive, I could only agree to one day. Still, it was a fantastic experience!

Assisted Randy McComas in the assembly of 10 episodes for Kinesio Tape. I was responsible for rendering the final output, assembling the blu-ray, making chapter markers, and animating the dvd menu screen. I also edited episode 1 and 10 due to schedule conflicts with the editor.

VFX Compositor, managing a team of two other compositors. I was also the Editor, using Avid Media Composer.

Editor and VFX Supervisor on main commercial for the University of New Mexico. It has aired on ESPN games with the UNM basketball team from 2013 to 2016. We made 60 second and 30 second versions, as well as a 15 second to air only on PBS. I was also on set to grip, especially when we filmed with a live wolf.
