Jeroen Lapré
Founder & Technical Director
The ILM & CAS Pedigree
29 years of experience delivering high-end technical direction for award-winning Hollywood feature films (Industrial Light & Magic) and award-winning immersive planetarium productions (California Academy of Sciences).
Science-To-Story (The "Translator")
I bridge the gap between world-class research and the general public. By partnering directly with leading scientists, I translate their highly complex observations and data into accessible, visually stunning experiences that introduce audiences to the awe-inspiring nature of our universe.
Pipeline Generalist & Innovator
As a VFX & Digital Animation Pipeline Generalist, I architect robust, procedural environments and complex visual effects via a seamless Pixar Universal Scene Description (USD) roundtrip workflow across SideFX Houdini, Autodesk Maya, and Blender, finished in Nuke and DaVinci Resolve Studio. I also leverage multimodal AI for advanced problem-solving and engineer real-time 3D digital puppetry using Unreal Engine 5.7.4+ by Epic Games.
