Todd Terry
Creative Director
|
|
|
|
Todd personally directs all of the projects that we do at Fantastic Plastic, and edits quite a few of them as well. He
started making 8mm films in high school, and now has almost two decades of professional experience.
Yes, he has a film degree (anyone need to wrap some fish?), but really learned the craft of directing
by watching other motion picture and network series directors work during his former actor-wannabe days.
Todd is a member of AFTRA and the Steadicam Operator's Association, has earned five TVAF "Best of Show"
ADDYs® as Director and Cinematographer of the year, is the inventor of the FauxFilm film simulation
process, and developed our e35mm electronic cinematography system.
He claims to own no socks.

Phil Schmidt
General Manager
|
|
|
|
Phil keeps the gears grinding at Fantastic Plastic.
In addition to pushing paper, he meets with
clients and agencies and other folks and keeps the staff locked in the dark edit suites. He has a great deal
of experience in broadcast television, both in the technical end and as an on-air news correspondent
(once appearing on the evening news dressed as an Amish farmer for no apparent reason). We snagged Phil
after many years as Sales Manager for a huge multi-million dollar corporation, when he needed a jolt
of creativity.
He's the guy to call if you want to book a project, check availability, or just brainstorm.
Phil and his wife Julia live in a house full of boys (three sons).
Bless their hearts.

Kim is responsible for much of the graphic and visual design that you will see in our productions.
She has more than 15 years of experience in graphic design, and has worked in many types of media, from
television to magazines to outdoor.
Kim has numerous ADDYs® to her credit, including TVAF "Best of
Show" honors as both Art Director of the Year, and Illustrator of the Year.
If you need print work
in addition to your television production at Fantastic Plastic, Kim's own company BBD Graphics can
seamlessly integrate magazine or newspaper advertising with your TV campaign.
She lives with an adorable
puppy named Larry with ears the size of Buick hubcaps.

Joey Skelton
Senior Editor
|
|
|
|
Joey edits most of our projects, and is our resident expert
in After Effects®, Discreet Combustion®, and other high-end editing and compositing systems.
He came to Fantastic Plastic after a long stint as a freelance editor, highly in demand at a number
of post-production facilities cutting projects ranging from commercials to government films to
music videos.
We usually keep Joey locked away in an upstairs
edit suite, but he is also seen on location shoots as a valuable part of our film crew.
Joey and his wife Laurie live with a collection of decreasingly-sized dogs.

Carl is the "house voice" at Fantastic Plastic, and his golden tones can be heard in many of our productions
(see the Three Springs and Mitsubishi Electric spots on the Portfolio page). He has performed in countless commercials, television
programs, and motion pictures.
Although Fantastic Plastic's clients have access to almost any talent
from all over the country, many choose Carl because he's not an "announcer," but a true narrator who
can make a script come alive.
Also a very gifted director in his own right, Carl's creative input
can be seen (not just heard) in many of our productions, and he has received TVAF "Director of the Year"
honors. He's a member of the Director's Guild, AFTRA, and SAG.
Carl has so many ADDYs® he once used
them to prop up his fish tank.
