Background

About Jackson Cobb

I'm a video programmer/systems engineer/media designer/creative technologist based in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in theatre, concerts, and live events, working on shows on and off Broadway, national tours, large-scale concerts, Virtual Production studio installations, and brand activations/immersive experiences. My toolkit includes Disguise, RenderStream, TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine, nDisplay, QLab, Resolume, After Effects, Vectorworks, Blender, and a comprehensive understanding of show control protocols from OSC to Timecode. I also know my way around a broadcast control room. I believe every choice matters when you're telling a story. Every link in the chain—from content design to systems engineering—should contribute to the story you’re trying to tell. In what ways do performers and audiences interact with your media content? Which media server fits both the needs of your story and your budget? These are the questions I'll help you answer as part of your team. I hold a B.A. in Digital Media Arts from Hamline University and an M.F.A. in Design and Production (Integrated Media for Live Performance) from The University of Texas at Austin. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. My DMs are always open.
