Dan began his career as a visual effects artist, working at studios including Framestore, The Mill, and Method Studios across film, television, commercials, and title sequences. Over the course of his career, he has worked as a compositor, compositing supervisor, VFX supervisor, and creative director, giving him a hands-on understanding of both the technical and creative sides of post-production. He later expanded into directing, bringing that VFX background into live-action commercial filmmaking. Today, his work at New Accent brings those disciplines together, developing new production approaches that combine traditional filmmaking and visual effects with emerging AI tools. His focus is less on AI as a replacement for existing processes and more on how it can become another part of the filmmaker’s toolkit—reshaping how ideas move from concept through production and post.Dee Manning - LuxpointDee Manning has worked in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction field for over 20 years The last 10 years have focused on Laser Scanning and 3D Modelling.
