About Valerie Champagne

BIO   |   RESUMÉ   |   BLOG

I recently graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Kanbar Institute for Film and Television, with a BFA and a minor in producing. With a wide range of skills and software at my disposal, I research, write, direct, edit, produce, create graphics, design and maintain websites, and eagerly continue to develop new interests and talents. I thrive on artistic and creative challenges of all kinds. The sky is the limit.

    I Can . . .

  • type 65+ words a minute (70 while "in the zone")
  • pillage on the high seas (carpentry is my forté, but my bilging is rather shoddy)
  • edit film, video, and audio with as much software as I can fit on my PC and three external hard drives
  • proofread as only a grammar aficionado can (beware the panda and his grammar punctuation kit!)
  • recite the alphabet song backwards (and in tune)
  • create and maintain websites using html, css, and a spunky sense of color and design
  • write epically long parodies featuring short-skirted (and incompetent) superheroes

    I Love . . .

  • everything the creative genius Joss Whedon has ever made (vampires, spaceships, slayers, oh my!)
  • designing and manipulating graphics with Photoshop, the image editing program of the gods
  • young adult fantasy novels, particularly those with capable female protagonists and schools for witchcraft and wizardry
  • British actors and British spellings (every "o" should be followed by a "u"!)
  • crunching numbers with Microsoft Excel (it's more entertaining than you would think)
