Who is ShakeyCG?

I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself. My real name is Cole but “Shake” has been my nickname for as long as I can remember, don’t ask me why. If you’re on my site I’d imagine you’re pretty much aware of what I do but to boil it down I’m a creator. Mostly digital but I also build sets, props, etc. I’ve been a musician and video editor for more than half of my life.

In 2014, my brothers and I created Upstate Groove Productions. We’re located in the Hudson Valley and we’ve specialized in music videos and music production for most of our existence. In the last few years we’ve branched out to cover almost all aspect of digital media from short films to marketing and branding. Most of my work is with Upstate Groove Productions, from managing to editing, I try to have my hand in everything and learn as much as I can.

This site is dedicated to my work outside of Upstate Groove as a freelance artist. In particular I’m very passionate about helping grow New York based Cannabis brands via high quality social media content such as 3D product animations and tours of retail locations. I also enjoy making tools to help other creators. In my creator shop I have visual effects packs, Blender add-ons and After Effects scripts. I plan to create and upload as many tools as I can in my free time.

I’ve made this blog section as a place where I can get out some thoughts, promote my work and hopefully teach a few things. I hope you enjoy it!
