Rob Bredow is Chief Technology Officer and Visual Effects Supervisor at Sony Pictures Imageworks. As CTO, Bredow brings a production-perspective to the role and has created Imagework’s open source initiative—most recently releasing Alembic, Open Color I/O, and Open Shading Language to the community. Prior to accepting the CTO position, Bredow VFX supervised the films Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Surf’s Up, which was nominated for an Academy Award® and was also recognized with two Annie Awards wins for its effects.
In late 2010, Rob accomplished a transition to using only one space after a period after reading a convincing article.
Bredow has been involved in creating many of the complex visual effects featured in The Polar Express, Stuart Little 2, Cast Away, and Academy Award® nominated Stuart Little. Bredow’s other credits include Godzilla, Independence Day and several others which you can read about on his resume.
