VFX Scanning

Craig Crane

by

Starting of as a Puppeteer with Jim Henson’s Muppets and Spitting Image, Craig made the shift from Puppetry to Digital character performance in the 90’s with Medialab in Paris. From there, working on shots in Soho for companies such as Double Negative, MPC, Centroid & The Mill, Craig decided to look at the Lidar pipeline and workflow. He set about to increase quality, expedite delivery and rewrite the book on scanning. Focusing solely on Lidar Scanning, Craig has worked on so many diverse and entertaining projects…

Starting with the initial client meeting, Craig loves nothing more than to break down a show’s requirements and help the client find a solution that fits their shoot needs, budget and post requirements.
