Introduction	Hello, my name is Ryan Erickson. My main interest is producing films. I've been making films since the 8th grade, January 6, 1998, to be precise. I delved into the realm of special effects four years later in January of 2002, when I began editing on the computer. For the next four years, I basically made simple effects films using Apple's iMovie, until 2006 when I began using FXHome's VisionLab Studio. I started using Adobe After Effects initially in April of 2006 for a small test shot with lightning. I now use Final Cut Pro for editing and After Effects for compositing 90% of my effects shots.
