Steve was mighty impressed after he saw pictures on a screen actually move for the first time. Back then, the illusion of life was merely an idea but from his earliest childhood he was determined to make it as real as possible.

The long road to his CalArts BFA was filled with dabblings in all sorts of other artistic and historical interests. The word Steampunk hadn't been coined yet, but the idea behind it was something that Steve found extremely compelling and the Harper Goff design of Nemo's Nautilus remains one of his favorites. But there was one passion that kept coming back time and time again; the notion of making moving pictures for a living. More specifically, making visual effects for moving pictures and following in the footsteps of other early cinemagicians like Méliès, McCay, Harryhausen and Pal was his lifelong dream.

Ironically, Steve's dream was achieved by being one of the first student artists hired in the competitive CGI market, as up until that time the studios only hired people with computer science backgrounds.

That was almost twenty years ago. Now, with a supportive wife, a darling son and friends beyond measure, Steve has decided to make his own silent moving picture in a Steampunk style. Armed with the knowledge that it takes just as much work to make a bad film as it does to make a good one, his one hope is that Adventures in Science doesn't suck.
