Jan 2007: I'm currently looking for web, film and multimedia projects.
If you have a project you think we can help with, please contact Scott Virtes by email,
or call 760-781-4021 to schedule an appointment. While SCV Systems
has had an office with up to 7 employees, I prefer to work alone
these days. Check out my web/software resume
or my film resume
if you'd like to know more.
I'm a senior-level web and database developer, and spent years doing
graphics, games and software applications before that. Here are the
services I can offer, and a glimpse at my past project history.

Graphics
Services offered: design, scanning, image conversions. Paint Shop Pro guru. We've
contributed graphics to just about every web page and piece of software mentioned on
this page. Plus, Scott used to do illustrations by hand for small press magazines.

Sound/Music:
We have a lot of fun producing sound FX, from CD-audio quality down to the smallest 11KHz
chirp. We have budget equipment, but an ear for quality. With our digital sound processing
and noise reduction tools, we will always provide clean sounds. We also can provide music
scores, from classical to rock & techno; MOD, standard MIDI, or AWE64 MIDI converted
to WAV.
Sound/music is definitely a part-time pursuit for us, but we do have archives which may have
what you need, and we will consider new projects. Past projects:
- Left Behind: Tribulation Force (DVD), Left Behind Games, 2005-7
- AlphaDrive 003, (Web) scv systems 4/99 (all sound f/x and music)
