April Warren

April art directed Pandora for James Cameron on the original Avatar back in 2006, working on set with the man himself to create the look of an entire alien world in real time. That's where this whole virtual production thing started for her. She spent six years at Disney Imagineering making rides like Rise of the Resistance and Mickey's Runaway Railway actually work, then led virtual production at Digital Domain on everything from Jungle Book to Maleficent. Disney Television Studios brought her in to explore emerging tech and figure out what's actually useful versus what's just hype. Now she's Operations Manager at Prism Systems, still solving impossible technical problems on the west coast. Been there since day one of VP. Still figuring out what's next.
