Chad Briggs
Chad graduated from Monmouth College in Illinois with a BA in Computer Science. He received
his degree in Computer Animation from the Art Institute of Dallas. Shortly after school, he founded
a company called Expandmail — a pioneer in developing and sending videos through email …
forerunner to today’s YouTube, Hulu and Skype processes. Their unique and ground-breaking
technology garnered a great deal of international attention and Chad sold the company in 2004.
He used the proceeds from that smart sale to create his own Animation and Visual F/X company.
Partner and Executive Producer of Element X Creative since it officially opened in 2005, Chad has
shepherded and developed projects from all over the world with the aid of his company’s talented
team. In his spare time, Chad writes scripts and screenplays. He’s a big fan of interactive storytelling
combining film, television, internet media and video games in multi-platform entertainment forays
to weave stories for all audiences.

Christopher McCabe
Christopher McCabe considers himself a blend of an artist and technician, which helps him creatively approach any project in 3D. With 11 years of experience in 3D and 15 years in graphic design, his career began at the Vancouver Film School before entering the world of commercials and films. He is currently employed at Element X Creative, in Dallas TX as a Lead 3D Artist where he models, textures, rigs, lights, renders, and works on pipeline development.
Dennis started off as a freelance graphic designer 10 years ago. Then when everybody and their mothers bought Photoshop and declared themselves a graphic designer, he jumped ship and found a more challenging industry to keep his head above the rising horde of bad talent.

After a stint of poor life choices, he eventually attended Collin College for 3D Animation and Interactive Media to segue into industrial design. While attending school, he interned at Element X Creative where he has been chained to his desk ever since.
Dennis Kang
Dennis has 5 years of experience in the industry. He currently lights, renders, composites, models, and sometimes even sees sunlight when he’s spooned enough dirt from the walls. He is a jack of all trades, has friends in low places, and hopes someday to grow up to be a real boy. He has done visual effects for award winning projects and short films in the United States and Taiwan and worked with an extensive list of clients such as Mary Kay, HP, Wingstop, Zynga, AMD, Metro PCS, Porsche and many others.
