Who is this guy?
Matt Workman worked as a commercial cinematographer in NYC shooting for brands like Google, Meta, L'Oreal, BMW, and many more. He was represented by Gersh and known for his 3D technical previs work when executing complex VFX driven commercials.
He moved into software development creating commercial previs tools in Maya, Cinema 4D, and Unreal Engine. Cine Tracer was his first stand alone app and it's still used today by filmmakers world wide.
Virtual Production
In 2019, he was the director/DP of Epic Games' first in camera VFX (ICVFX) LED wall project. He helped pioneer the early virtual production workflows and consulted for some of the major studios like Amazon.
Digital Human Performance and Motion Capture
Next he focused on digital human performances and worked closely with the Epic Games MetaHuman team and optical motion capture leader Vicon. He has presented and spoken at GDC, SIGGRAPH, and Unreal Fest about the cutting edge workflows when it comes to high fidelity digital human performance capture. He consults for studios and does freelance Motion Capture work through his company Narrative Motion.
Generative AI
In late 2025, Matt started mixing his Unreal Engine work with generative AI and has since been exploring and consulting on hybrid Unreal Engine and Generative AI workflows. His company Cinematography Database focuses on this niche area specifically.
Workman Labs is his 100% generative AI focused company. His goal is to combine his experience with traditional cinematography, software development, and real time performance capture with generative AI tools.
He is currently working as a freelance AI Director/Creator and Content Creator for the major Gen AI companies like Kling, Higgsfield, Topaz, and many others.
