Beyond the lens — motion-control firmware, motorized camera rigs in Fusion 360, real-time Unreal cinematics, and browser tools for the awkward parts of the pipeline. The engineering is part of the craft.
Tom Kucy is a visual artist based in Calgary, working across cinematography, real-time 3D, and creative technology.

When he's not behind a screen, Tom is in his home workshop indulging a serious tool addiction—building furniture and homeware for friends and family through woodworking and 3D printing. Equal parts digital and sawdust.
