JULIAN MANN
Julian's VFX career started in commercials at MPC in London, making shampoo science shots and talking pigs. He was the first artist working at Double Negative, and supervised CG for their first movie, Pitch Black. Later he helped MPC's film division get started, where he built their R&D department and wrote pipeline and VFX tools. Julian loves making tools for artists and his other interests include painting, robotics, music, office design. He has traveled for work, living in Mumbai and Montreal, and now lives with his family in Panama.
JESSE LEHRMAN
Jesse’s adventures in CG started when he was hired to wrangle some renders at a Montreal VFX studio instead of backpacking to Tanzania to find some Chimps. He now finds himself back in Montreal. Along the way he’s worked in Berlin, Jerusalem and Sydney on Animation and VFX projects big and small, improving pipelines so that artists have more time to watch YouTube. Projects of note include The Lego Movie, The Little Prince and Game of Thrones. And he did eventually get to see those Chimps.
