Final Pixel makes double senior appointment

Final Pixel has made a double appointment to its leadership team.

Hanah Draper has been made its global head of production, arriving after a career as a freelance producer in the advertising industry. Most recently she has been specialising in virtual production shoots. At Final Pixel, Draper will focus on the advertising side of its end-to-end virtual production business.

Draper said: “Every time I consider the latitude of possibility within the hive mind that is Final Pixel, I am struck by a another surge of excitement to be at the forefront of the most innovative technological movement of my generation’s film making. The opportunity to produce and surpass creative imagination is wild, and I am very pleased to help share it globally.’’

Meanwhile, Dr. Jodi Nelson-Tabor has been named as Final Pixel’s business development and training manager. She has worked in education, research, marketing and sales, film production and emerging markets in immersive media. She will likely be working on initiatives such as the Final Pixel Academy, which offers courses on virtual production internationally, and the academy’s course made in partnership with the University of Greenwich - where she was a senior lecturer in digital film and television production for almost five years until this summer. 

Dr Nelson-Tabor said, “I’m very much looking forward to bringing huge value to our students, professionals and stakeholders by delivering the latest virtual production training opportunities and information from our expert trainers and experience gained on our on-set productions”

“At such an exciting stage of digital disruption across all the creative industries - there are so many areas to explore and even more opportunities to innovate, collaborate and build portfolios for work in current and new job roles that didn’t exist a few years ago.”

Michael McKenna, CEO of Final Pixel, added: ‘’Our mission is to revolutionise film production, empower storytellers and unleash a new era of limitless creative possibilities.  We are a company of magicians who understand that the secret to outstanding creative work is preparation, imagination, and self-belief.  Jodi and Hanah are strong leaders with an entrepreneurial streak, who are an outstanding addition to this team.”
