Wes Plate, Inc. has been resurrected and the web site refreshed as a Wordpress blog.  Wes Plate, Inc. was formed in 2000 when I left my staff editing job at Pinnacle Studios and became a freelance editor.  I was busy during that time, but going freelance did give my dad and I a chance to think more seriously about starting our own software company.

Automatic Duck, Inc. was officially formed in 2001 and started selling its first product in the spring of that year.  At first I continued editing while Automatic Duck was getting off the ground, but eventually the Duck required full time attention so I started turning down all editing gigs and Wes Plate, Inc. stopped doing business in 2003.

Now, six years later, Wes Plate, Inc. is back.  I’ve long missed the creativity of video production and editing, and I’ve been able to work a couple of productions into my spare time.  Then there’s my interest in screen printing which I’ve long had and I finally started to do something about this summer.

Not that I have free time, getting non-Automatic Duck work squeezed in is a challenge, but worth it.
