Troy Dunning (Me)

Background and Education

I’m a native of Bozeman, Montana, where I discovered my passion for visual storytelling and creative expression. After initially pursuing studies in Music Technology and Computer Science at Montana State University, I took a hiatus to explore my interests further. It was during this time that I found my true calling in film, photography, content creation, and animation/motion graphics. Motivated by this newfound passion, I returned to MSU and earned my BFA in Film in 2023. My journey has been driven by a desire to blend technical expertise with artistic vision, creating meaningful and impactful visual narratives that resonate with audiences.

Work Experience

I have two years of professional motion graphics experience from SINTR, a renowned studio based in Bozeman, MT, where I specialized in creating dynamic visual content. I worked in individual and team based workflows for notable companies creating specialized content. Alongside my motion graphics experience, I’ve edited and produced short films, showcasing my proficiency in crafting compelling narratives and managing projects effectively. These experiences have deepened my passion for visual storytelling and equipped me with versatile skills in both motion graphics and film production.

Interests & Hobbies

Outside of my professional work, I have a wide range of interests that fuel my creativity and passion for digital media. I love creating content on YouTube and streaming on Twitch, where I’ve honed my skills in live production, sound engineering, video editing, and motion graphics using software like OBS.

Cooking & eating, reading, and exploring cinema are some of my favorite pastimes. As a musician, I enjoy playing guitar and bass. I love photography of all kinds. Building and maintaining computers is another passion. I’m happily married with two cats and have a deep appreciation for independent video games, which inspire my creative spirit.
