Vicki Latham
- Visual Effects
While I was born in San Antonio, TX, we moved to SoCal when I was 2 weeks old. My childhood was spent in Hawthorne, Culver City, Inglewood, Torrance, and Manhattan Beach. I spent my career as a graphic designer working in a variety of mediums and industries.
After graduating from Platt College in Irvine, CA, I worked for a special effects company situated within Warner Bros. Animation. I specialized in colorizing B&W film (scanned in frame by frame), digital creation/retouching of television show backgrounds and scenes, edited images in post-production, and creation of special effects used in animation.
I moved to Hopkinsville KY in 1994. I started by creating advertising for the local newspaper and several local businesses. I spent the last 10 years of my career working as a contractor for a special operations division of the US Army, creating graphics, photographs, movie clips, and animations used in the instructional course ware utilized by incoming soldiers.
In 2010, I was placed on disability following multiple back and joint surgeries due to the debilitating effects of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. While EDS is a congenital disorder and I had symptoms all my life, as is typical with EDS, I was not diagnosed until my mid 30s.
