About the Author

Ty Audronis has been called "a technology-age renaissance man." He’s a professional drone pilot, post-production specialist in the entertainment and media industries, a highly experienced interactive game developer, and an accomplished digital artist. He has worked for companies ranging from frog Design to California Academy of Sciences in roles, where he has worn many hats. Ty has been programming software and games since 1981 (when he was 8 years old) professionally. He majored in “Computer Generated Animation and Visual Effects” in college (where he won “Best Animation” for the entire CSU system – a Rosebud Award). He has been building drones since the days when sensors and components had to be torn out of cell phones and game controllers.

Ty is also a mentor, having taught many interns his skills and speaks regularly at venues, including Interdrone. He also serves on the advisory board for the Society of Aerial Cinematographers and for Genarts (now Boris) Sapphire.
