   F/X Guy's Blurbs
About me:
My name is Ben Chester, I've been a character effects artist since 97'. I began my early training with the studios in Los Angeles, and in 2000', chose to move in a more independant direction. My primary desire being to gain more direct input into the quality and style of the works I produce. I've since focused my energy in developing stylistically original, budget consciencious work that caters specifically to productions' individual visions and needs. And find great joy in working one-on-one with filmmakers to help bring images from their mind's eye to the screen. I feel that only when you hear "That's exactly how I pictured it", have you done the job correctly. I've been priveledged enough to collaborate on a vast variety of projects in all corners of the country, and am continuously seeking new groups with an equaled integrity and passion for the art of film.

I am writing to acknowledge the fact that it's your birthday and I am remembering it. I would say "happy birthday" but no doubt you'd find it mundane and unoriginal and, let's face it, like me the chances of having a truely happy birthday are slim. So I will simply say "It is the anniversary of your birth and I am thinking of you today." Be well, my friend.
