Sean Bowers
Director of Post Production
Sean started his video production career producing local weddings and creating summer camp highlight films. Before that he was always meddling in graphic design and he began donating his talents in design and video to gain experience. His love of animation started when he discovered Flash while designing websites and banner ads.
That love became the drive to learn more about editing and animation, which led to giving back to the community by creating educational content along with Tony on NextWaveDV.com. In 2011 he was hired to take video production to the next level at Midwest Communications. He increased the production value and increased views to the WIXX and WNCY video pages exponentially while also developing new ad inventory for their streaming services and producing ads for clients for streaming as well as television.
Now as the Director of Post Production, his imagination is the limit (or in reality, time and budget) to what he can create for clients. Whether a simple logo animation to creating a new world.
