Adam C. Sager is an independent digital media specialist. He resides in Portland, Oregon with his wife and two beautiful daughters.
In 2008, he worked as a compositor on LAIKA's 3D stop-motion feature film Coraline. He was responsible for "cleaning up" the principle photography. This included digitally removing rigging and puppet seams, digitally stabilizing drifting or deviant set elements, and digitally compositing vfx elements such as fire, steam and smoke.
He currently collaborates with several creatives, including commercial studios Fashionbuddha and Bent Image Lab, where he works on nationally broadcast television spots, web-based media, and 20-foot video walls. Adam also recently worked with award-winning director Michael Bartlett on a promotional trailer for the upcoming feature House of Last Things.

In 1998, at a youth group retreat, Adam was handed a Discman containing the self-titled Circle of Dust CD. Ever since, Klayton has been an unrivaled source of inspiration for Adam. Disengage remains to this day the most intimately connected album in Adam's library.
In 2006, Adam created an experimental music video to the Circle of Dust track "Yurasuka" and it found it's way into the hands of the FiXT crew and began a series of conversations that have led to several new video creations between them.
Career Defining Moment: Talking with Henry Selick and Travis Knight after the crew screening of 'Coraline'. Also, had lunch with Nando Costa a month ago or so.
Inspired by: The Science channel has been a recent inspiration to me.
Currently Listening To: I Will Never Be The Same, Black Eyed Peas, Morcheeba, Paramore, Innerpartysystem, …
Collaboration Wish List: Working directly with Klayton on a music video or visuals for a live-performance would be the ultimate for me.
And definitely the Wachowski Bros. (& sister)… because I happened to like Speed Racer.
Dream Project: I dream of working as the resident media producer on an actual starship... beam me up (of course my family would have to come along too).
Final Word: "there exists no dream worth chasing if it cannot satisfy"
