Classic Gaming Expo Distinguished Guest:
STEVE WRIGHT
Steve
joined Atari in 1978 and eventually wound up as the manager of the home
video game division. While learning “stella” (the in-house name for the
VCS 2600) to program his first title “Pele’s Soccer” he wrote the stella
programming manual as a way to teach himself about the proprietary chip
and share that with other new programmers at Atari.
Steve left Atari after five years in 1983 to become VP of game development for Sega/Paramount producing laser disk arcade games which moved him to Hollywood. He is now a 20 year visual effects veteran with 70 broadcast television commercials and over 60 feature film credits.
He began doing computer animation at Robert Abel and Associates in Hollywood, an award winning visual effects studio. With his partner Steven Sidley, he opened his own visual effects studio in Hollywood for seven years producing 3D animation and high end digital compositing for visual effects, first for commercials then for feature films. Steve then joined Kodak’s Cinesite as a senior compositor and became the 2D technical director where he also supported their digital intermediate operation from its inception.
For the last year and a half Steve has been a freelance visual effects guru teaching, training, writing, and speaking about digital compositing and digital intermediate both domestically and internationally. Following the release of the second edition of his popular book, “Digital Compositing for Film and Video”, he is now writing an introductory book on digital compositing.
