Co-Founder President and CEO of Shape Shifters VFX Corp and parent company BIS- Burlington Interactive Solutions Inc., Tom is an Vancouver, BC based serial entrepreneur. Tom’s 25 plus years of managing and growing multi-million dollar companies, with a deep understanding of business relationships and psychology. Fueled by his drive, passion and energy, coupled with co-founder Nathan Jordan, provide the vision behind Shape Shifters.

Before his years working as a Character/CFX/Pipeline TD in Film, TV and Game Cinematics, Nathan graduated from UVic with a bachelors degree in Economics and had very formative experiences working in Aerospace/Defense, Private Equity, Tech Startups and Marketing. Initially happy to escape corporate life to follow his passion for tech art, programming and teaching, Nathan eventually began to put all of the lessons and knowledge from these seemingly disparate experiences together to build what would become Shape Shifters with the help the friends he met along the way.

During his academic and professional life, Junio has always tried to bridge arts with tech, knowing that most projects in Computer Animation need those 2 fields to seamlessly blend to succeed. Junio dedicated his career to acquire skills in both 3D animation and rigging so he can push the limits of what a rig can do to service animation. An industry vet, he has extensive experience working on titles that range from animated series to high end blockbuster movies.

Over his years as a Character TD, David has combined his passion for art with a thorough understanding of anatomy, bio-mechanics, skinning and topology. Not content with the performance and results of traditional rigging workflows, he continues to push the envelope with emerging technologies, such as Metahuman and Unreal.

Over his 9 years in the business, Matt’s name can be found in the credits of over 20 feature films. He’s now turning his attention away from film production to research and invention, seeking to build software and tools that make the rigging process faster than ever. He’s been teaching in classrooms and online for the past five years and has been invited to speak on his research at Autodesk’s CGConnect twice.

A TD with a passion for making games, Daniel believes that art and technology are key to the future. He can usually be found out scouring Vancouver for new and exciting foods, exploring nature, and attending many many game jams.
