rusty ace studios is the presentation persona of James Reed. I am a motion graphics artist living in Charlotte, NC. After earning a traditional 4 year BFA degree, I launched myself into this industry. Working for the company I interned with, developing my skills. Currently I am a Staff Designer For SPEED Network.
The root of my abilities lay in illustration and photography, with a developing passion for animation and 3d. My tools of choice in the digital realm, are the CS4 package, C4D, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and all things Mac. For the more traditional side I opt for watercolor, ink, traditional print forms, and I am fearless of a pencil.
