Presented By: Adam Campbell

You can ask any Distributor what the most important factor of getting sold is ....99% of them will yell ART!....a solid poster, and DVD cover...makes a world of difference. Adam will explain what the function of an art director is ....and why storyboards, and conceptual art are probably the two most important parts of film making.

Adam has received over 200 awards for art, including Digital Artist of the Year 4 years in a row,and has worked on projects ranging from local, to Oscar nominated films to his proudest moment: being banned in 12 countries. He is Modern Surrealist, fantasy/horror artist, and at times can be found at the heart in some sort of controversy, but over all, tries remaining hidden, and quietly working in the background.

His film career includes, Boogie Nights ( ask him what he did on that ) two Muppet Movies, Children of Men, The Golden Compass, Elizabeth 1 and 2, The Blade trilogy, Passion of the Christ, and the SAW franchise. He has gone from Back up Set artist, to Art Director, and special effects Coordinator.
