Paul Debevec’s digital inventions have powered the breathtaking visual effects in films like The Matrix, Superman Returns, King Kong and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Called “Hollywood’s Master of Light” by MIT’s Technology Review, Paul Debevec leads the Graphics Laboratory at USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies, where he directs the development of the Light Stage systems, which capture and simulate how people and objects appear in real-world illumination.
