If you have a project you think we can help with, please contact
Scott Virtes by email,
or call 760-644-8885 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.

Graphics
Services offered: design, scanning, image conversions. Paint Shop Pro guru. I've
contributed graphics to just about every web page and piece of software mentioned on
this page. Plus, I have had over 100 illustrations pubilshed over the years.
I was book cover designed for samsDotPublishing for a few years.
For a gallery of Scott's graphics, check this out.

Sound/Music:
I have a lot of fun producing sound FX, from CD-audio quality down to the smallest 11KHz
chirp. I have budget equipment, but an ear for quality. With digital sound processing
and noise reduction tools, I will always provide clean sounds. I can also provide music
scores, from classical to rock & techno; MOD, MIDI, WAV, MP3.
Sound/music is definitely a part-time pursuit for me, but I do have archives which may have
what you need, and I 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)
