About Me

Adam Benson started his career in entertainment in the early 1990s as a semi-professional and touring musician. He began doing Graphic Arts actively in late 1993 and has been working with digital art and illustrations ever since. While in college he often worked as a Web Programmer, using such languages as ASP, ColdFusion, Flash, VBScript, Javascript and Actionscript. Around 1998 he began working with 3D modeling and Animation, which led him to pursue a degree in Multimedia Visual Effects from the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, AZ. Since this time he has worked hard as a Visual Effects Artist, Editor, Sound Engineer and Musician for a number of different companies, including AOL, CJI Digital, Show-N-Tell Video/AZ24p Services, and a host of others. He has also worked professionally as a Motion Capture Technician for Rainbow Studios on the Video Game "Smackdown vs. Raw 2008". Adam Benson is known for his ability to quickly learn new things, his remarkable memory, and his uncanny abilities as a problem solver. Well rounded and friendly, Adam is exactly the kind of person every company wishes they had on their staff.
