Focusing on in-camera visual effects, real-time mixed reality, and the future of film making and live broadcast, I have been fortunate enough to find myself at the crossroads of technological innovation and creativity.

I am truly passionate and genuinely invested in bringing technology such as high end media servers, automated lighting, LED and Projection systems to the film market. By merging new tools and products with the hard to crack film market, I am able to provide unique solutions to cinematographers, artists and producers. Having helped spearhead the modern use of interactive, immersive lighting setups on stage to accompany the ever changing VFX workflow, I have an intimate understanding of film sets, and the intricacies of that market.

David started in the broadcast industry by joining I-Movix as CTO, manufacturing slow-motion camera systems based on Vision Research Phantom cameras for the live sport events.

This includes shading panels, interfaces for various cameras, lenses or other accessories and robotics. These products now also take place into smaller productions providing remote shading and lens control to mid-range D-Cinema cameras. The architecture being all IP based, this is now also used for remote productions where any camera controlled locally can now be also controlled over the internet.
David always worked closely with video engineers in order to bring the best out of each camera in terms of image control and quality. The VP4 is a unique video processor designed to help with camera matching. The current interest in integrating D-Cinema cameras into broadcast workflows will lead to some new designs around this solution to combine the requirements of live shading with the creativity of post production grading.
