Within the walls of Boris FX, finds the unique figure of Moritz Fortmann, the mastermind behind SynthEyes product management.
In the world of 3D camera tracking and visual effects, Moritz Fortmann is a name that stands out. With over two decades of experience under his belt, Fortmann now holds the esteemed position of SynthEyes Product Manager.
Born and raised in a small town in southwest Germany, Fortmann's journey in the industry began with an internship at Quantel in England. His technical foundation, likely rooted in computer graphics, software engineering, or a related field, led him to work with technologies and products used in visual effects and post-production workflows.
As SynthEyes Product Manager, Fortmann's role is multifaceted. He listens to the user community, identifies new 3D camera-solving tools, and works on product strategy. His background in software development and project management, particularly focusing on 3D tracking and visual effects tools, makes him an ideal fit for this role.
Fortmann is particularly fond of SynthEyes' export feature to After Effects, finding it a useful tool in his work. He also enjoys working with other components of the Boris FX Suite, such as SynthEyes and Continuum.
When he's not immersed in the world of technology, Fortmann has a soft spot for various forms of media. He appreciates TV and film, museums and art, books, and photography. His taste in media extends globally, with a fondness for Scandinavian noir, Brazilian shows, Mexican, and Korean movies.
Outside of work, Fortmann enjoys making music, being outdoors, riding his bike, and spending time with his family. When he needs a quick energy boost, he reaches for trail mix, apple and peanut butter, or a cup of coffee. Interestingly, for reflection and contemplation, Fortmann prefers a simple notebook made of paper.
One piece of advice Fortmann would give his younger self is that there are no set rules or paths, and one should carve out their own way. This philosophy is perhaps reflected in his career, as he now works with artists he admires, such as Ai Weiwei, who combines art and activism in his work.
Based in Valencia, Spain, Fortmann continues to make significant contributions to the world of 3D camera tracking and visual effects. His passion for the industry, coupled with his extensive experience, makes him a valuable asset to the SynthEyes team.
Studying the combination of technology and his passion for various media, Fortmann seamlessly integrates SynthEyes and other Boris FX Suite tools into his lifestyle as a Product Manager. Outside the realm of technology, his interest in global art and media evolves, from Scandinavian noir to Korean films, reflecting a diverse and multifaceted appreciation for creativity.
