Profile Information

What kind of geek are you?
I’m a geek of everything tech and media. This means anything from playing with my Mac and iPhone to professional video editing and web development.
Why do you consider yourself a geek?
I’m a video editor with a geek core. Anything from technology to anime keeps me occupied. You can find my professional profile at http://www.evanthies.ca
How did you find out about our Geek community?
When Chris was first talking about it live on the Stream

What is the thing in life you treasure most?

What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
When most people graduate from high school they want either a car or a tattoo or something big to celebrate their accomplishment. Not me, I wanted to buy myself a high-end camera and a nice computer to do video work. I saved my money, went to college taking a new media program, bought some nice gear and away I went.

I’m a geek, I knew what I wanted and I what I had a passion for and I pursued it. Most people don’t even know what they want to do after high school, let alone blow a ton of money on it. So I’d say that’s the geekiest thing I’ve ever done.
What do you do to entertain yourself?
Usually my entertainment is also my work, I do graphic design, build websites, create videos, etc. With friends I play airsoft, go to hockey games, go to bars, etc.
Favorite music, movies, books, shows, artists, games, people, events, hobbies, etc.?
Music - Too much to list anything from Linkin Park to Enigma to Moby

Movies - Fight Club, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, The Departed, and The Godfather

Books - I work at a bookstore part time, so I always have something on the go. Sadly, some of my favourite books are computer books…

Shows - Prison Break, Heroes, Lost, and Pure Pwnage

Anime - Saiyuki, Ghost in the Shell (movies and series), Gungrave, Slayers, Last Exile, and Trigun

Hey, checked out your site, the demo reel 2008 is a good body of work. The black and white cowboy fight scene? Was that from an old film you re-edited or did you re-design a new soundtrack to it?
