Jamie Heineman, an American special effects specialist, is known for his Legends Destroyers and Robot Battles. He became a developer of unique technical solutions that turned into discoveries. He founded the special effects workshop "M5 Industries".
James Franklin Heinemann was born in the city of Marshall in 1956, September 25. In neighboring Indiana, where he spent his childhood, he was educated at the university, choosing the specialty of Russian language and literature. Heineman received a bachelor's degree in Russian.
Destination Search
Jamie sought to know the world in all its diversity. He tried his strength in various directions. Inquisitive Heinemann had the opportunity to be a tamer of wild animals, and the main chef, and an expert on survival in the wild. Jamie turned into a wonderful captain of a worldly vessel, a linguist, was a machinist, inspector for concrete structures.
From each new work he took the most useful. This contributed to his advancement. With twenty-four, Heinemann began working in a yacht charter company in the Virgin Islands. Six months later, he acquired his own yacht and a license to manage it. He made more than three thousand dives. The profession was mastered to perfection.
After a few years, the young man realized that he needed to look for something new. Jamie liked the unknown, because he was carried away by special effects. Creativity began small. Heinemann got a job as a cleaner in New York's Eoin Sprott Studio Ltd. The studio was engaged in the creation of technical devices for movies. Among them were the early works of Woody Allen.
Jamie started with cleaning workshops and carrying things. He looked closely at everything happening around. The new world has become fascinating and interesting. Soon a new job ensued. Heinemann was entrusted with operations with drywall and wood.
Jamie has always been fascinated by the process of creating films. He worked on dummies and paraphernalia for four years. Among his works were "Arachnophobia" and "Naked Lunch". Soon, Jamie moved to San Francisco, began working at the special effects company Colossal Pictures.
The experience gained helped Heinemann open his own business. Together with Adam Savage, he created a variety of special effects for famous projects. These include The Matrix, the first and second episodes of Star Wars. The professional was quickly noticed and appreciated. Haineman is in demand both in the cinema world and in advertising.
He co-authored in commercials for "7Up" and "Nike." For the first video, he designed an all-terrain vehicle-tank, shooting and selling a drink. “Nike” received a football boot on two wheels, capable of moving around the field on their own.
New program
In 2002, Adam and Jamie set to work on a new project. They created their program "Legend Destroyers". In 2003, the first issue was released. The image of Heinemann was interesting to the audience. Outwardly, the new leader also looked very colorful: a black beret flaunted on a shaved head, but a luxurious walrus mustache stood out.
His white shirt is always impeccably clean, regardless of the complexity of the experiments. Most of the filming took place in the pavilions of Jamie's own company for special effects. Adam often laughed at the low voice of his friend and his image, but such a ban was not an obstacle to friendship.
Jamie is always confident and calm. Even force majeure circumstances cannot deceive him. He is always rational, trusting only his own knowledge and scientific information. The main principle of the presenter is to do everything as simple as possible. A colleague is the complete opposite.
Adam is chaotic and even careless. Haineman teaches the fidget, warns that at first they think, do later. The Savage-Heinemann duet uses many years of experience to confirm or refute stereotypes in various kinds of experiments. Each issue of the program helps to understand the legends and rumors. Often a mannequin breaks in, and the presenters do with it everything that comes into their heads.
Adam and Jamie are not in danger of being left without work: there are too many rumors roaming the Internet. Both are quite at risk during the broadcasts. They work with explosions, chemicals and other hazardous substances. But both have a lot of courage. The program explains everything from a scientific point of view. If something is beyond the power of the presenters, they honestly acknowledge it. The main task of Heinemann was to convey cognitive value to the audience.
The personal life of the famous leader is fully arranged. In 1989, with their chosen one, Eileen Walsh, a science teacher, they became husband and wife. Jamie admitted in an interview that creativity turned for him into an integral part of being. On the set, most of his time passes.
