Cooke, a pioneer in the area of collecting lens metadata via their /iTechnology have announced the creation of a new Cooke Digital business unit specifically to develop software-enabled products for post-production, VFX, virtual production, animation and gaming with /i Technology. Cooke’s /i Technology has long been recognized as the film industry’s leading lens metadata platform and has been  licensed to industry partners across the field of cinematography. Over the last year, Cooke has built on that base with the introduction of Near Real-Time post-production capability in partnership with EZtrack, and has been exploring numerous other opportunities to extend Cooke’s role across the increasingly convergent creative markets from live action capture to animation and gaming. Leading the new unit for Cooke will be Jordan Thistlewood (Managing Director, Cooke Digital) who will be based at the new Cooke London location in Fitzrovia.  Jordan brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of developing software services for post-production, VFX and animation gained at Epic Games and Foundry.
