Blaise Douros, Post Production Assistant
Blaise was born and raised a California native, and learned to swim before he learned to walk. Despite this setback, he learned to be comfortable enough on land work on both sides of the camera at a young age, both as an actor and as production crew on his dad’s shoots. Blaise graduated from St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN, in 2007 with a B.A. in Music Theory and Composition, in order to further his desire to write music for media. Soon after, he joined the Sea Studios team as its youngest member, where he contributes skills in Web 2.0, video post-production, sound editing, and Monty Python-esque humor. Full Bio
