My family has a big background in film and graphic design. My Uncle has been in the graphic design business for a long time. He won a Webby in 2005! My grandfather, Walt Rauffer, has been in the film business since the 1960′s. He had worked for MGM, developing a truck called Leo. This was the world’s first remote TV camera truck. Soon after, he became Sesame Street’s chief engineer.  He designed Big Birds custom camera harness, and chroma key studio for Sesame Street, all of the Electric Companies special effects, along with designing and constructing a fully computerized post-production video facility for Movielab and Mediatech and much much more. I’d have to say my Uncle & my Grandfather have been a huge inspiration for me!
