Experience Behind the Work
A career at the intersection of cinematic storytelling and emerging technology.
Amblin Entertainment
Peter began his career working with Steven Spielberg on the television series SeaQuest DSV. At a time when computer animation was still emerging, he was invited to take home a workstation and teach himself the craft. That opportunity led to a role as a CG artist on the series, creating shots from start to finish including modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, and compositing
Digital Domain
He later joined Digital Domain where he worked across both the commercial and feature film divisions, contributing to projects including Titanic, iRobot, and Looney Tunes. During this period he developed a a strong foundation in cinematic visual effects and large-scale production pipelines.
DreamWorks Entertainment
At DreamWorks he served as a CG supervisor on the science fiction limited series Taken, leading teams responsible for complex visual effects sequences and supervising multiple production units.
Inhance Digital
Peter expanded into interactive media at Enhanced Digital, where he led the 3D department and later served as Executive Producer and Director of Production. During this time he oversaw AR, VR, and large-scale interactive installations for clients including Boeing, Raytheon, Intel, Amgen, and Biogen.
Modern Logic
He later worked as a freelance post-production producer at Modern Logic, overseeing the finishing pipeline for television commercials from editorial turnover through color, VFX, and final delivery.
The Mill Experience
Peter joined The Mill’s Experience division as a Production Supervisor and Senior Producer, producing immersive installations and experiential environments for global brands and entertainment clients including Netflix and Moon Rabbit, whose work appeared at the Las Vegas Sphere during the Formula One event.
While at The Mill he led the development of a multi-location virtual reality attraction for Mindscape Entertainment, one of the largest projects of his career. Peter was responsible for the project from pitch through installation, overseeing concept development, voice casting and recording, Unreal Engine production, queue entertainment content, and the physical deployment of the attraction across multiple venues.
