Hingley has gained a wide range of industry experience over a 30+ year period, holding various product management and sales positions with leading manufacturers and resellers including Avid, Softimage, Quantel and Tyrell, as well as freelance pre-sales and workflow consultancy. He also brings outstanding practical production and technical skills honed as a demonstrator, trainer and stereographer on various 3D, grading and online editing tools; highlights include roles as Lead Stereographer for the FIFA World Cup 2010 and the Wimbledon finals from 2011-2013, and as 4K/8K Editorial Supervisor on the FIFA World Cup 2014.
