Duncan Ransom is the Founder and CEO of The Endless Collective, a full-service art, innovation and technology-driven production studio currently focused on creating experiential content across all industries.

He has served as the Principal Creative + Technical director for clients such as Amazon, Google, Gucci, and Intel. With his extensive knowledge of feature-film VFX + Real-time pipelines, he manages a global collective of artists + developers to create immersive experiences and tools.

Prior to establishing The Endless Collective, Duncan served as a CG story artist and animator with Framestore London, the Visual Effects studio responsible for the imagery of some of the most technically advanced Visual Effects films to date, such as the Oscar-winning film, Gravity. His animation work has been seen in films such as Edge Of Tomorrow, 47 Ronin, Wrath Of The Titans and Gravity, for which he and his colleagues from the Framestore VFX team won an Academy Award in the VFX category. He has also worked with other notable post-production studios including MPC, Prime Focus and Rising Sun Pictures.

Duncan’s passion for art, therapy, and technology has seen him invited to guest-speaking events including SXSW, IFC New York, AMP Innovations, X Media Lab, Screen Australia, M&M Conference and Mutek Montreal.

He is inspired by the ever-expanding intersection of emerging technologies and their effective and positive contribution to what appears to be, a very curious future. Duncan is based in New York.
