Caleb Ward

Howdy, I'm Caleb. I've made it my mission to help and inspire folks worldwide. I've been blessed with the opportunity to create courses, tutorials, articles, books, products, and resources for creative people.

I’ve spent my entire career assisting and training artists, but you probably know me through my work in AI. My work has been featured in major news publications, documentaries, channels, and podcasts. I also regularly speak about the democratizing power of AI for indie artists and how AI can assist (not replace) talented storytellers.

My career in the online art world has allowed me to work with some incredible people and companies. You can see some of my blog and tutorial work on Vimeo's Blog, NoFilmSchool, PremiumBeat, Shutterstock, Rocketstock, and School of Motion. Altogether, I've created over 800 articles and tutorials for animation, filmmaking, and content creation communities. I’ve also had the pleasure of overseeing the production of thousands of articles and content pieces.

I’ve worked alongside education leaders in the world of VFX, motion design, and filmmaking to lead teams and train the next generation of creative artists. I’ve been blessed with helping artists from every background, from Oscar-winning VFX studios to everyday creators looking to learn a new skill.

I currently serve as the CEO of Curious Refuge, the world’s first online home for AI storytellers.

It's my hope that Curious Refuge will be a helpful source of inspiration for storytellers around the world. If you ever want to chat, feel free to hit me up. Cheers!

School of Motion

I served as the Marketing Director for School of Motion. While at School of Motion I head the pleasure of publishing multiple books, creating video tutorials, and lead our team of full-time and contact marketing employees. It was an incredible experience and I loved every minute of it!

Rocketstock

With at least one original motion graphic article a day there are few websites in the world producing the amount of post-production content as RocketStock. Below is a collection of my favorite articles from RocketStock. If you want to read more of my RocketStock articles check out my author page. 

Vimeo

Vimeo has given me the opportunity to create content centered around 360 production. If you're interested in 360 production check out my Vimeo author page. 

FUN STUFF

Here's a few other fun projects I've had the chance to work on. In my free time I really enjoy shooting 360 video and working on short film projects.
