Born and raised in Elmira, Bruce Hauver was known as the kid who always made home movies. Bruce would watch movies growing up and almost always ask, “How did they do that?”
A 1998 graduate of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Bruce has an Associates degree in Industrial Design with a concentration in Special Effects. At the Art Institute, he learned the fundamentals of drawing, designing, the creation of special effects, make-up, and theatrical props for film and television. Bruce learned to use computers to develop concepts, make design decisions, detail design, construct special effects models, and character generation. He also learned pre/post video and film production.
From conception and design…to fabrication and presentation, Bruce had the creativity and now has the knowledge. While at school he had the privilege of working on films such as Dogma by Miramax Films and Inspector Gadget by Walt Disney Pictures.
Bruce began his career at NEWSCHANNEL 36 in 1999. In 2003, he received the New York State Broadcasters Association award for the best locally produced television show – the show was “The Journey Home.” Bruce’s primary responsibility is for commercial production at NEWSCHANNEL 36, but he will always consider himself a storyteller at heart.
