Speaking today : Dayton Taylor
Dayton Taylor, inventor of the Timetrack camera array, has kindly accepted to come and talk to us today (Friday 28 Jan) after class about some of his secrets and techniques in mutiple-camera visual effects.
Dayton could be called the new Muybridge, as he is one of the leading inventors of camera array based image capture and processing technology. As a master of camera-based visual effects, he will brainstorm with us on how his technologies could be used in the context of interactive media.
Dayton has used his camera arrays with directors such as Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham, Tony Kaye, and for corporate clients such as Sony, BMW, CBS, AT&T to name just a few; or more recently for the opening sequence of the Olympic Games. His camera sytem has been featured in American Cinematographer, Scientific American, Siggraph.
Dayton has also produced several multimedia pieces for New York based theater director John Jesurun. He has assistant directed and production managed many independent features, documentaries, TV commercials, and music videos. Some of his short films are part of the permanent film collection at the Museum of Modern Art.
Dayton is president of Movia and DigitalAir.
