Laurence began working at DJS Associates, Inc. in 2016 in the 3D Engineering Animations Department. His professional and technical skills are focused in 3D data processing, 3D modeling and animation technology, forensic video analysis, and interactive programming. After earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Laurence became Director of Video and Animation at a marketing agency and later earned certifications in Visual Effects, Digital Video Forensic Analysis, and Photogrammetry, among others.
Laurence creates engineering computer animations through processing scan and drone data, modeling, texturing, animating, and compositing the final rendered deliverables. In addition to camera and object motion videogrammetry for 3D scene reconstructions, Laurence performs digital video forensic analysis for authenticity and tampering. Using various programming languages, he is able to efficiently automate repetitive 3D analysis tasks and produce interactive, multimedia-rich demonstratives.
Born in Southern England, Laurence has lived in Switzerland and frequently travels overseas to Europe with his wife and twin boys for family visits. His interests include spending time in the great outdoors, renovating his turn-of-the-20th-century home, tinkering on classic motorcycles and cars, exploring the lost art of blacksmithing, and playing drums in a rock band. When it’s time to relax, sci-fi films are first choice, especially from the Alien and Mad Max franchises.
