There I Go Again...

Yeah, you're going to look at the details, I want you to invite me over for a chat. I've been at this a long time and that's because I push myself to learn more and ride that wave cause I'm not done. I see myself forever digging deep, you might say I'm an anthropologist of the human psyche... a student of the arts & sciences... always looking forward to learn the newest and the latest, applying it to all that I already know and realizing there's always a new more efficient way to get the project done... always more and different ways to entertain and tell a tale... I'm a shooter @heart, I see the world through a virtual lens... I've been writing since I was a kid, dabble in guitar and midi music production...

I love film, music, writing, reading, sci-fi and gaming... I love getting my hands on the latest software like, Blender 3D, AFX, Photoshop, Lightroom, Motion, Avid, Final Cut... Love the cloud... I have a lot of my work on You Tube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7E7D221CDAD21677 ) and on my I love sci in-progress website (http://rpitre.com) so go check it out....
