Title
Lee Gabel Design + Visual Effects
Description
Located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, my company is dedicated to quality visual effects (VFX) animation. I have been involved with computer graphics since 1982. My true passion, ever since I was a kid making stop-motion Super-8 movies, has always involved visual effects. It never left the back of my mind.
After graduating from the Applied Communication Program at Camosun College in 1992, I worked at a small graphic design firm for 6 years. The experience offered a firsthand look at the do’s and don’ts of running a business, as well as tremendous creative freedom. With this freedom came great responsibility. Managing large projects was a daily part of my role there. During this period, I had the good fortune to work with the CBC in producing their Broadcasters Handbook for the 15th Commonwealth Games. The handbook subsequently won the firm an international design award.
In 1996, I took my graphic design and business experience and translated it to the web part-time. As the number of clients increased, I needed more time to devote to my emerging business. In 1998, I officially left the graphic design firm and began working in graphic design for myself full-time.
