Vincent has a graphic art degree
from Bob Jones University, a printing certificate from Danville
Community College, and a certificate in Multimedia Web Design
from the Art Institute of Charlotte.
Vincent was an art teacher and taught art for grades K-8
in 4 different school systems for 6 years. Vincent is single
and lives in the beautiful rolling hills of Southern Virginia.
Vincent has always had a big imagination
and has written many stories since he was a child. He always
loved music and took music lessons when he was about 8 years
of age, but didn't really play much anymore until about
15 years ago. In 2002 while he was taking classes at the
Art Institute Vincent began to experiment with his keyboard
and audio software after becoming familiar with similar
types of software he was learning at the Art Institute.
At that time is when he began to compose music on his keyboard.
Also during his time at the Art
Institute where he learned flash and dreamweaver he began
to take some of the stories he had written and started to
turn them into animated movies. Vincent's story,
"The Fall of Telgar" was written about
10 years ago, but was unfinished. He had already done some
hand animated scenes but now he was able to use computer
software to further his story and produce a better product.
He had used classical music in previous animated test scenes,
but now he was beginning to compose his own music for each
scene.
At the Art Institute he was not
only taught to use graphic and web software like dreamweaver
and flash, but audio and video editing techniques with Adobe
Premiere. Using video cameras and video editing equipment
was also part of the program. In one of his Vincent's latest
projects, which he is still working on, entitled: "Beast
in the Woods," he mixes live film footage with an animated
character.
Vincent very much enjoys the entire
creative process. Animation involves writing a story, animating
the characters and scenery, voicing the characters, composing
the music and editing the sound and video. Much of his music
is composed with a Yamaha PSR-520 keyboard and recorded
onto a cdr machine. He then takes the compact disc and saves
the files on his computer to be put into an audio editing
software program called Acid Music by Sound Forge. In Acid
Music he can drag and drop any sound effect or alter the
music any way he wants. Drum beats can be added and Vincent
likes to use gong effects in certain songs.
Vincent is a Christian and is involved
with his church by singing in the choir and occasionally
plays his keyboard for the congregations enjoyment. Vincent
very much desires to use his musical and artistic talents
to serve the Lord and further the cause of Christ.
