Motion design and production company Lightborne has expanded its offerings with a new CG division, headed by Digital Effects Supervisor David Lombardi.
Lombardi, who has worked extensively in commercials, videogames, feature films, episodics and music videos, will be responsible for new business development, maintaining client relations, overseeing all visual effects work and building the CG department.
He is currently working on a CG-driven spot for Hasbro Tooth Tunes via ad agency Wonder Group.
"David is an amazing 3D artist," says Tuesday McGowan, Lightborne Creative Director.
"His background in design gives him a unique perspective combined with years of experience in CG technical direction and effects supervision.
His contribution to the growth of the Lightborne and our creative capabilities will be invaluable."
"Lightborne is a very well built company," comments Lombardi.
"They have people who are passionate about the business and are incredibly talented in a range of disciplines.
Lightborne's strengths in the past have been in their creative graphic design.
My expertise has been primarily in visual effects.
The two can blend together nicely, but having CG capabilities will augment the production here and the palette of tools that we can use on behalf of our clients."
