Bio and Research Information

A filmmaker in his own right, Aaron is equally at home on-set behind the camera, in the edit suite, mastering films for digital cinema, capturing 3D scans of celebrities, or designing complex post-production workflows. He holds a B.Sc. from The Pennsylvania State University in Integrated Social Sciences and co-authored The Video Compression Handbook, published by Peach Pit Press. His work has been featured in projects for brands like Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, esurance, and HOKA, as well as in triple-A video game titles NBA2K, and WWE2K. He was online editor for La Corona which was nominated for an Oscar in the short-documentary category, and created the DCPs for Boy’s State, which broke the Sundance record for highest-priced documentary sold at the festival. Outside of work, he enjoys riding his bike and traveling abroad.
