| Bio: |
Palmer is the director of a small independent studio in Boston. Born March 31st 1970 just outside of San Francisco, he was nothing short of a challenge for his parents. As a child, his ability to read between the lines and find creative loopholes in school rules frequently landed him in trouble. As he got older he channeled that creativity into drawing and sculpting with whatever he could get his hands on. This sometimes meant disassembling the household electronics to see how things worked. He continued to do this well into his late teens and in 1993 (after having worked some odd jobs for few years), Palmer attended college at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco with studies in Fine Art and Industrial Design. During his first year in college he earned a living doing odd jobs and freelance graphic design for local companies. During his second year of school, a friend introduced him to some 3D software. Palmer was immediately hooked on 3D. At the time, there was no set curriculum for 3D animation at school, so he kept with with fine art studies while spending countless sleepless nights creating 3D models of everything in his apartment. Shortly after, in 1995, Palmer had a chance meeting at a shopping mall with a BioVision Motion Capture executive. That chance encounter landed him a job working with motion capture for video games and film. It was there he received a "hands-on" education in 3D tools and production pipelines. In 1996 while still attending college, he accepted an offer to work for an ad agency creating 3D content for print, CD-Roms and the Playstation underground magazine. Prior to directing, he has been a Graphic Technical Specialist, Associate Art Director, and Lead 3D Artist and Animator. |
