S3 Ep13: The Sync Report | Dean Lyon

Listen as Dean Lyon talk about making Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, working on the movie Air Force One, Armageddon and more. Hear why Dean found himself in New Zealand and how that led to a meeting with Peter Jackson which led to him setting up his own VFX business in Auckland.

Hear how VFX has changed over the years. Listen to Dean as he talks through defining the future for Da Vinci Systems, where he developed a 3D computer graphics finishing system utilizing supercomputing processing that made the completion of ‘Avatar’ and dozens of other 3D feature films possible.

Hear Colin’s reaction when we talk about the influence of AR and VR and the future of acting and find out why Rose and Dean would like virtual production to be instilled in film school education.

Stay tuned for the sync session where we hear more of our audience submissions hoping to get their music placed in the indie movie The Boys of 742.
