Sandusky’s reach can be as far as your dreams can take you, and here’s a story of one such alum whose dreams have taken him far:
Sean Bittinger, a member of the SHS Class of 1999, has built an interesting and successful career in technology arts and special effects (VFX) in San Francisco, CA. He may be far from home but not our hearts.
In 2003, Sean earned a BA in Media Technology and Arts from Denison University in Granville, OH and moved to San Francisco to begin his career. After a couple years in the computer tech field at various SF companies, he landed his dream job at ILM (Industrial Light and Magic, the premier VFX studio division of Lucas Films, later bought by Disney.)
Sean’s career at ILM took him through the ranks of VFX roles (graphics, tech directing, and compositing) for films such as Avatar, Avengers, Black Panther, Deep Water Horizon, Ready Player One, Star Trek, Star Wars, Unbroken….the extensive list goes on and on. (Look for his name to roll by in the end credits of these movies, or to see a demo reel of some of Sean’s past VFX work, go to vimeo.com/284265073 or visit his IMDb.com page for a full list of his film projects.)
