My name is Kyle Fite, as you can see from my blog name. I am currently an Audio/Video student at the Art Institute of Las Vegas. I will be graduating in March of 2013 and pursuing a career in the US Navy. I am working on my degree out of passion for a hobby that I started with when I was in middle school.
Starting in sixth grade I became a saxophone player. Throughout middle school and high school I went from playing one instrument (Alto Saxophone) to playing twelve instruments and winning multiple awards both at the state and national level. My passion for music and for sound as a whole is one that accompanies me through every moment of every day. I find rhythm and music in everything around me, and am fascinated with how the sound is made or produced and actively try to dissect how it was created. My original goal was to enter the military by way of the US Naval Academy. Plans went awry and that didn't work out. After searching for a path to take I came up with the Art Institute due to my love of music and the sounds of the earth. I quickly became familiar with the hardware and software associated with my field and also with the industries many sub fields and those industries around me. I am now a very proficient audio, video, and visual FX creator and editor. I have done several pieces which showcase my various skill sets.
Within audio I am very familiar with post production sound. Things like sound design, foley, mixing/mastering in post, video capturing/editing, cinematography, lighting, set design as well as authoring and branding. With visual FX I have found another passion. I am efficient with After Effects, Encore, Premier, Illustrator, Photoshop, Etc. I taught myself everything I know about vis effects and love to create new things, or backwards engineer effects that I've seen from feature films or indie movies that intrigue me.
I wish to use the knowledge from my college career as a fallback for when I leave the Navy later in life. I wanted a degree specifically so I could be an officer. I originally wanted to fly, however, after speaking with a few colleagues and searching within myself, I am now undertaking a SEAL training challenge to prepare me for the most intense training in the world Basic Underwater Demolition/ SEAL training (BUD/s).
