With over 30 years of experience in broadcast, film, visual effects, systems integration, and virtual technologies, Mike has extensive industry experience across production and post-production. He has been involved in virtual production from its inception in the mid-1990s, through the adoption of games engines, 3D tracking, real-time compositing, to the current incarnation using LED screens for in-camera visual effects (ICVFX). In 2010, whilst a Director of FilmLight, the company won 4 AMPAS SciTech Awards in the same year for film scanning, colour grading, and colour management. More recently, as Commercial Director of Mo-Sys, Mike helped drive two consecutive years of near 100 % growth, with the company winning numerous awards for pioneering virtual production technology, including 2 HPA Engineering Awards in consecutive years – an industry first. Today, as CCO of Bendac, Mike is helping shape the company’s expansion into LED virtual production for corporates, enterprises, education, and cinematic studios. Mike is a member of the Visual Effects Society (VES) and a contributor to its forthcoming Virtual Production Handbook.
