I am Jim Mann, founder and Creative Director of Lightwell. We help broadcasters and production companies create visually compelling TV shows, by creating skilfully designed virtual sets, based on the latest innovations in 3d and virtual technologies
Personally, I have been working as a designer using 3D, CAD and CG for over 30 years. I have been a regsitered architect since 1998, but my entire architectural career has been defined by the increased adoption of 3D graphics as a design and presentation tool. Since 2005, I have worked on designs for television, and have been creating virtual sets since 2012. My company’s website is https://www.lightwell.tv but I needed to create a space to tell more personal stories about the design process, and behind the scenes work that goes into creating virtual sets for major clients, across the world like BBC, ITV, Sky, ABC, Bloomberg, Discovery+, etc.
This will be that space.
