Dade Orgeron enjoyed a rich cultural upbringing in New Orleans, LA before moving on to Chicago to pursue a career in new media design. Self-taught with a strong technical foundation he became a multi-disciplined designer with skills in print, multimedia and web-design, all the while focusing on 3D and it's design implementation. His unique abilities took him to Digital Kitchen Chicago where he was able to further expand on his motion and VFX skills both aesthetically and technically.
He then later moved on to Digital Kitchen Seattle as Senior CG/VFX Director. There his task grew to involve all aspects of production from 3D generalist and compositor, to VFX supervision and consultation.
As advertising up-scaled it's expectation for VFX in commercials, Dade worked with Digital Kitchen to help expand their VFX capabilities without stifling it's industry respected creative prowess. This process earned him numerous awards, including an Emmy nomination for his contribution to the opening titles of Kingdom Hospital. |
Feeling a desire to work once again with a small but growing company, he moved on to süperfad to once again spearhead the growth and development of their small but talented VFX team. In four years, Dade watched süperfad grow from a small unknown design shop, to an industry respected studio now working with many of the top agencies around the world.
It was during his time at süperfad that he really began to see his place as a unique conduit between creativity and technology. With an equal understanding of both sides, he was able to bridge the gap sometimes seen between the two and helped to cultivate a greater creative atmosphere for süperfad.
In an ongoing effort to remain relevant, Dade moved from Seattle to NYC to serve as CD/VFX Director for Tronic, where he continues to strive for creative flexibility in an overwhelmingly technical world of VFX. Working with small and nimble teams of highly talented artist and backed by an even rarer breed of creative producers, he continues to pursue the boundaries of visual storytelling and looks forward to the future of advertising and technology's impact upon it. |
