JAMES MATARESE

As a senior animator working in the field of broadcast design, I have amassed an extensive skill set developing unique real-time graphic solutions. Employed at Fox News Channel (FNC) since 2004, I specialize in creating real-time template based graphics using the Vizrt software compliment, vbScripting and the Adobe Creative Suite... I am one of a handful of developers in North America to achieve Vizrt Professional Certification. At FNC I am responsible for the ground-up implementation and development of the station's real-time graphics system. Proficient in vbscript, the templates I have developed are responsible for completely overhauling and streamlining the newsroom workflow, giving producers more flexibility and significantly cutting down the lead time for getting graphics to air.
