Global Director, Media & Entertainment Industry

David Bitton

I started my career as technical help and support at a software reseller for visual effects productions. I was mainly helping with software issues on Power Animator, Maya, Shake, Boujou, Shotgun, Rendering Software, Nuke, etc.

I worked on a few productions as a consultant throughout those years. I love finding solutions to all those technical challenges and through those years I have developed a tight relationship with many development teams from a lot of Software Vendors. I was also a teacher for Maya for many years at Concordia University. In the past 25 years I co-founded 3 companies all related to the media and entertainment industry.

I am always searching for trends and new technology that could help our customers’ production. This industry has been my true passion for over 25 years and still is!

David was one of the founders of the biggest Autodesk M&E partner in Canada, 3vis, and helped them get acquired by Scalar where he played a pivotal role in growing their M&E portfolio offering, as well as gaining industry credibility. He has now taken on a new challenge of building an M&E strategic business for Hypertec, an IT Solutions company that specializes in custom-built/optimized servers, storage and workstations.

Sr. Technical Sales Specialist – Media & Entertainment

Pascal Favron

Because we’ve all experienced the immersion, thrills and emotions of what visual effects can bring to moving images, I’m sure you can relate a bit when I say that I absolutely wanted to be part of that.

My entry into this world originally was with music, using a sequencer to arrange music on my computer lead to the idea of creating visuals on that very computer to support my music tracks.

20+ years working in visual effects mainly with Autodesk Flame. I also did Flame training, demo and quality assurance for Autodesk during that period. This provided me with the opportunity to work in Singapore, Tokyo and Los Angeles during those years.

I had the chance to be part of great projects where some of my work ended up featured in magazines:

  • DDC Digital Media (China)
  • Post (USA)
  • Creative Review (UK)
  • Tokyo Pop Ad trend (Japan)
  • Video Tsushin (Japan)

For the past 8 years or so I have been using that experience to provide technical expertise for hardware and software integration, as well as technical support for creative finishing products. There’s plenty to keep us busy as the market is evolving, technology is improving and new branches are emerging like AI/Machine learning specifically for VFX.

Sr. Solutions Architect – Media & Entertainment

Throughout those years the connections and partnerships established have become invaluable for the M&E market.

He has a deep understanding of real-time playback video computer systems, including physical transport, routing, codecs, streams and bandwidth dependencies such as storage, workstations and networking protocol. He is very familiar with server room power and cooling environment, redundancy requirements, monitoring and mandatory security audit process.
