Angus WakefieldANGUS WAKEFIELD, VISUAL FX SUPERVISOR: "It’s all about telling stories. Whether it’s creating the next hit Saturday morning cartoon or bringing live-action and 3D-animation film to life through riveting special effects, my passion lies in telling great stories through computer generated imagery. As a 3D modeler and visual effects artist with many years experience, I’ve worked in feature film, direct to video, children’s animation and video game cinematics for a number of different audiences, from things that go bump in the night to candy-coated imaginary friends. I love being faced with a new challenge in creative thinking and digital problem solving and I excel at efficiently, quickly and effectively enhancing stories of all kinds with digital art."

"Bob Ennis and I have been talking about doing a Digital Circlevision360 project for many years and finally we're finding some time to get the concept out there. When we met Jim Dickson in 2006 it seemed like fate. We've had one project with Jim and the car rig he built generated fabulous results. Now with Angus on board we are ready to show not just what is now technologically possible but immersive story telling using twice the resolution of IMAX to create an incredible theatre experience."
