Brian Shows began his VFX career in 1995 at the young age of 18 working at Cinesite Digital Studios in LA. During his time at Cinesite he worked across many of the departments to learn and gain as much knowledge around the VFX process as possible. He began in the company as a Runner and then quickly moved up into various positions including 2D Technical Support Manager, Paint Artist, Roto-Scoping Artist, Compositing and 3D Technical Support Manager. By 1999, Brian was asked to work with Cinesite in building its first ever Digital Intermediate suite. He joined a small team of four that created a new digital process that had never been done before on any feature films. He went on to build the first digital intermediate facility for Cinesite Digital Studios, a Kodak company, with completion on the first major motion feature DI for "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" - a production directed by the Cohen Brothers. In 2001, Shows was recruited to build Technicolor's Digital Intermediate facility "Technique" that would design a more efficient workflow and environment allowing Technicolor to expand from finishing less than five movies per year to now over 30 films in a year. Today, almost every feature film follows this digital intermediate workflow and process. The work that Shows had done will forever have an impact on film production now and into the future. Following this work, Shows was later recruited to build and design digital intermediate facilities for post-production facilities including Laser Pacific, Company3, Post Logic, Technicolor Culver City (Sony Lot), IO Films.
In 2008, Shows decided that he needed to move to the production side of VFX and bring his experience to the newly changing production industry that was transitioning from film cameras to data capture cameras. He has successfully remained on the production side by using his technical knowledge and management experience in VFX & Post Production. His projects include:
