Biography
William
M. Fantini, NewMedia Producer and Creative Director: Fantini,
38,
founded Kinetic Media Engine, LLC in 2005 to be the parent company
to the intellectual properties that
Fantini and his associates have developed in the entertainment
and software industries.
William
Fantini is also Executive Producer and Creative Director of
Imagica Productions, a mobile
production studio for photography, film, video and design. Fantini created Imagica Productions in 1992 after a two
year whirwind adventure in feature film making
as an Assistant Director, 2nd A.D., 2nd 2nd A.D., and sometimes
a Grip or Set Photographer (or whatever they needed that day)
on feature film, commercial and productions around the U.S.
Basically,
the guy graduated from college and went off, like... crazy.
William
M. Fantini earned a Bachelor of Science in Broadcasting and
Film from
Boston
University in 1990 and by 2002 earned several Professional Certifications
from Learning Tree International, for whom he worked as both
freelance
instructor and technical editor from 1996-2002.
In April of
2000, Fantini was contracted to build an in-house Web consulting
agency for the New York City based Veritas Group Advertising Agency.
Prior to
his work with the Veritas Group, Fantini built an Internet-savvy
e-learning solution for the Philadelphia-based Amtech Software.
Amtech is the developer of "Imaginera," the premier
enterprise management software for the paper-box industry. Fantini
designed and implemented Internet based training and testing applications
for a global install-base of Imaginera users.
William developed
the protocol for Amtech's learning methodologies and e- learning
production strategy and also contributed to the writing of Amtech's
e-learning business and marketing plans. Fantini's work with
Amtech
was so inventive that he is listed as Creative Director on "U.S.
Patent Number 6,288,753 Interactive Learning Application."
William joined
Amtech in January, 1999, when family matters persuaded him to
move back to his home town of Philadelphia. Before his move, Fantini
lived in Nashville, TN where he was sole proprietor of Blue Forest
Studio Marketing & Production.
Blue Forest
and its subsidiaries (Imagica Productions and Dovetail Systems)
served many prominent clients such as The Tennessee Banker's Association,
InterMedia Cable, MCA Records, McNeely Piggot & Fox Public
Relations, The Office of the Mayor of Nashville and over 30 Tennessee
Community Banks. Blue Forest Studio produced Web sites, CD-Roms,
Kiosk Solutions, Music and Marketing Videos, Print Marketing Materials,
and the Internet's first Broadband Webcast Music Conference (Extravaganza
'98) including over 250 hours of performance and interview footage
delivered via audio, video, animation and text.
Blue Forest
changed its name in 1998 to represent a more corporate image and
now operates as Kinetic Media Ventures while continuing to brand
separate entities to serve specific markets.

Personal Note:
"Aside
from all this work, I've managed to explore a great deal of this
Earth, paint some canvas, mold some clay, carve some stone, develop
some theories of quantum dynamic spatial philosophy, listen and
dance to a lot of great live music, make some live music (guitar,
flute, hand-drums), experience the finer cultural events our species
has to offer, jump out of a couple airplanes, win a few crew regattas,
read a lot of great books, write a few (er, plethora of) poems,
stories, and screenplays, and meet a LOT of amazing people. (See
