Creative COW - Jon Etheridge

After working in News for four years I'm finally getting into the world of advertising. Now I'm working at an advertising agency as the editor. I'm in charge of all things video production related. My camera of choice right now is the HVX 200 (although we want a 500) with a Red Rock Lens system. I'm really good at Final Cut Pro and After Effects. One day I want to be a producer as well.

Hobbies and Interests: I'm one of those lucky guys who's hobby is his work. In my free time however I'm usually either writing or animating something for practice. (Cinema 4D is awesome!!) I'm thinking about starting an animated web series for fun using photoshop and after effects. Why not Flash or Illustrator you may ask? I usually draw out my layers by hand first and I hate getting rid of that sketch look.
