Takeover Tuesday

Meet Jen Mackie, our Head of Visual story.

Jen has worked in the animation and film industry around the world for many years, most notably as Camera and Staging Lead at Pixar Canada.

Her passion for cinematography stemmed from a background in fine art, and along with her love of storytelling developed into a career focusing on layout and previs for feature films, shorts, games and commercials. Jen naturally branched from layout into editing, combining the two disciplines across different mediums always with a key focus on how best to tell the story.

Takeover Tuesday Meet Ron, our director of opera

Takeover Tuesday

Meet Ron, our director of operations.

After stealing his dad’s Rolleiflex when he was six and arranging a photo shoot with his friends, Ron went on to start a career in professional photography just as everything was about to go digital. This soon turned into an obsession, and so, down the digital rabbit hole he went. In 2000 he co-founded Spectrum, one of the first companies in the world to establish a digital cinema network.

Over the ensuing years Ron has pursued the goal of combining creative and artistic principles with technology. This culminated in the formation of The Flying Circus, a motion capture driven CG animation studio based in Johannesburg.

Now back in his native homeland, Ron spends his weekends teaching his border collie to drive.
