Guest Post: Mike Kanfer from Adobe and Digital Drag Race Judge

Hi there.  I’m Mike Kanfer.  I’m a Business Development Manager for Adobe specializing in video and film production in Hollywood.  In a former life I was a compositing and visual effects supervisor for feature films for 12 years.   I joined Adobe in 2005 to promote the use of our tools such as After Effects and Premiere Pro by filmmakers all over the world.  Before I became a VFX supervisor, I was a compositor and editor, so I have a special place in my heart for artists who do great work with our tools, especially the ones who can work at lightning pace and make it all look so easy!  I was excited to be asked by Intel to come on board for a few days as a Digital Drag Race judge, and had a great time critiquing the work and meeting the artists afterwards.

In the next few days, I will be providing a few posts that talk about each of the two drag races; and share my thoughts and opinions about the racers.

For more info on Mike Kanfer’s credits and awards, check him out on the Internet Movie Database.

    hmmm…I checked your IMDB profile. It seems like you haven’t created visual effects for any movies after 2006. It has been more than 6 years…you last movie was Superman Returns(even I had seen that movie and visual effect was really nice). Looking forward for another same kinds of rocking visual graphical effect…:-)
