Please join Lyn Caudle, Janimation’s Visual Effects Supervisor, as he discusses his career in the topic of Live Action to Animation. Lyn has been in the industry for over 20 years, and began his career as a visual effects crew member on live action productions. Some of his most recognizable projects are the “Lonesome Dove” trilogy, “Problem Child”, “Ace Ventura II – When Nature Calls”, and the “Walker – Texas Ranger” series. His most notable accomplishments include an Emmy nomination for his work on “Lonesome Dove”; he was the only effects supervisor to work on the entire trilogy.

In 2000, Lyn joined Janimation to take his experience from the set to the computer. His work includes on-set supervision, design and implementation of effects for any given shot or project, and effects animation (i.e. smoke, fire, wind, cloth, hair, explosions, dust and debris). He works on commercials, video game trailers, and shots for feature films.

Lyn will talk shop about traditional and CG animation in today’s live action commercial and film industry. He’ll review everything from cameras, applications, and software, to directors and decision making. Learn more about the people in film; find out who they are and why they love what they do.
