Scott Billups
Scott Billups divides his time between the motion picture industry and the defense/aerospace sector, frequently serving as a consultant or team member on initiatives for NASA, DARPA, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and other NGO contractors.
In addition to serving as Chief Technical Officer for the game industry’s leading supplier of AI, Scott is an award-winning cinematographer, visual effects creator, game developer, and author of several best-selling books on cutting-edge media production. When he's not working, you can generally find him sailing, surfing, or skiing.
Scott’s long list of innovations has earned him a reputation for what WIRED Magazine calls, "Hollywood's baddest pixel-packing cowboy, riding the fringes of an industry that views him with interest, admiration, and some degree of incomprehension."
