Guy Prouty
Film maker and archaeologist Dr. Guy Prouty, currently residing in Nanaimo, British Columbia, learned both his film-making and archaeological crafts at the University of Oregon. Guy spent two years in multimedia design where he learned digital film making using professional media such as Final Cut Pro and Premiere and computer 3-D modeling with Maya, a top end program used by major movie studios. He commenced his film-making in 2002 at the University of Oregon Archaeological Field School in southeastern Oregon. In 2003, he was glad to join forces with ALI, where he had the opportunity to be part of a quality film production organization that educates general audiences and professional archaeologists about the wonders of the human past using digital media.
Here is a sample of his work currently available on TAC:
A Journey Through Time: Archaeology at St. Johns
Guy shot and produced this 15-min. film about archaeological excavations at a prehistoric site in Portland, Oregon, for ALI under contract with engineering firm CH2M Hill.
Guy produced the following preview videos for ALI to promote our annual film festival.
Guy compiled and edited the following cartoon shorts for a continuing humor series:
