Mathew Foscarini has over 12 years of work experience in the software and computer animation industry. He has authored commercially successful visual effects tools for both the film and broadcast industry used in feature films, television and popular video games. Additional experience includes technical lead developing real-time gaming engines and team leadership roles for multimillion dollar network appliances. His technical experience is matched by his love for motion graphics and animation. He has technically directed several television commercials and held technical director positions on feature films.

In 1996, Mathew released  PhantomRay a set of visual effects tools for the film industry. Developed to work with modern computer technology these software tools were used by companies such as MatteWorld Digital, Disney and seen on television programs such as The Outer Limits.

In 1999, Mathew used his experience with C++ programming to improve biometric technology for BioScript, Inc. as their senior software developer creating dedicated authentication servers used for door access control.

In 2002, Mathew worked closely with game development companies in the Toronto area. He changed the way gaming companies integrated Autodesk 3D Studio Max into their production pipelines by building new real-time 3D engines that allowed the software development teams to work closely and seamlessly with the art production teams.

In 2006, Mathew began assisting large production studios in Toronto as a senior technical director working with Autodesk Maya building render farm pipelines and implementing processes for production pipelines. His involvement impacted the day-to-day operations of all departments working on feature film projects.

In 2007, Mathew knew there was a market gap for services that bridge the technical and creative zones of the media industry. The traditional animation studio was good at solving creative problems and software companies were good at technical problems. Neither seemed good at solving both sides of the coin. He started ThinkingMedia and created a studio that bridges that gap.
