Multi-Media Engineer
With a degree in Physics and Mathematics from the University of California at Santa Barbara, and a graduate degree from Cal State Berkeley, Jim began his professional career as a professor of science
His unique ability to combine mixed-media forums with live performances soon segued into the formation of his own production company and in 1976 Galatea Productions was launched. Using many of the techniques developed for Close Encounters, Jim next designed and produced the first wide-screen presentation that introduced the AVL Eagle. This early computer was the very first production line, multi-image programming system. Its unprecedented success, along with Jim’s creative enhancements soon made it the standard for multi-image production.
