My name is Tessa Van Bussum and I a Junior on the Tempe Campus originally from Colorado. I am a videographer and visual effects artist who aids in curating and editing production media. Since developing my skills in media, I have always had a passion for turning life into a movie. That moment when the main character is dancing in the rain, or those cinematic masterpieces that romanticize real life? Since I first started editing media, my goal has been to emulate those feelings. We all deserve to feel that ‘main character’ moment. I have had the benefit of backpacking from country to country for the past 7 years with a family of 7 and learning how to become comfortable within the uncomfortable. With those experiences, I took the opportunity to create a blog, producing and editing short videos that have captured all of the memories of travel, good and bad, and made us the main characters in our own travel productions. On the visual effects side, I am currently working as a VFX Producer with Professor Paul DeNigris on this year's Capstone film projects, smoothly communicating with the heads of production and organizing scenes that require visual effects. Have you ever wanted to elevate your productions to a level that combines the nostalgia of real life and the movie screen?
