ABOUT

Allegro Digital is the established online home of photographer and visual effects technical director Stephen G. Tucker, the ostentatious young rogue who aims to titillate you with candid insights and catch your eye - not with his dashing mug but via the optical wizardry presented before you.

A graduate of Sheridan College's Bachelor of Applied Arts in Animation, Stephen began his career as a product specialist at Side Effects Software Inc. in the snowy tundra of Toronto, Canada. During his time there, Stephen became intimately familiar with the arts of technorcery and supervised interns in a variety of animated demos for the company's animation software package, Houdini, as well as working directly on them himself. From time to time Stephen helped new customers prototype projects and held technical evenings on Fluid Dynamics and HScript Expressions as well as training customers at their workplace and releasing over seven hours of free video tutorials online.

In time, Stephen chose to leave Side Effects Software to work in feature film animation. His first gig was with Starz Animation in Toronto where he assisted in look development as well as implementing visual effects into the Touchstone Pictures distributed, Gnomeo and Juliet. Currently, Stephen is based in the lush tropical port town of Sydney, Australia where he relys on his knowledge of frozen wastelands to implement visual effects into the production of Warner Brothers' upcoming feature: Happy Feet 2.

This site is a hub where you may view samples of his photography (many of which are available as prints), find some of the video work he has been involved with, and access any tutorials that he has created. Stephen is available from time to time for freelance projects whether it be visual effects, web graphics, or photography based. He loves what he does, and to him a job is never just a job. Whether it be an inquiry about work, prints or just to say hello, please do not hesitate to contact him.
