About: Lewis Kofsky, Partner, Curious Pictures

Profile

Lewis Kofsky is partner and producer at Curious Pictures. He guides all digital production at Curious, including film, studio services, and gaming. His team produces the mocap and keyframe motion for the hit franchise Rockband and the newly announced Beatles Game. Currently he is producing pre-production on Michel Gondry's first fully animated feature titled "Megalomania" as well as in full production on a documentary about the evolution of consciousness titled "2012: Time for Change."

Lewis has a long history of marrying technology and artistry to create innovative new looks. He was producer of all the animation segments in the documentary film, "Chicago 10," which opened the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007 and showcases a proprietary animation look he was a principal in devising. In 2008 Lewis produced eight minutes of mixed-media animation for the Morgan SpurlockÕs "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden." Another standout style is the rotomation technique that he developed on the award-winning "Avenue Amy "- five years before the ubiquitous ipod dancers. Lewis went on sabbatical from Curious to work at PDI/Dreamworks on the animated feature films "Shrek2" and "Madagascar" as a visual FX animator specializing in water and fluid effects.

He's been with us since 1998, starting out as a CG Artist and VFX supervisor fluent in a variety of media. He has worked on film, commercials, TV series and pilots, music videos, and short-form content for a long client list. Lewis started his career in New York at R\GA and has experience at a range of large and boutique studios. Lewis is self-taught in the field of computer graphics and holds a BS in design from Stanford University. Outside the studio Lewis created a popular class at the NYU film school in title design and digital FX.
