Hear from our Members

Rory Gordon

Senior Colorist at Arsenal FX

"The most helpful thing from SMPTE has been the online Imaging Science Fundamentals class, which is great for those with backgrounds that are more creative, less hard-core. I appreciate how SMPTE's Education offerings are focused on the resources people actually want."

Eric Gsell

Dolby

"It is very easy to feel like you belong in this group of very smart people. That was part of the attraction to me, to be able to interact with and understand and learn from all these really smart people that were building and designing the standards and the equipment that I was working with. But there's also a fellowship component, the membership and education components."

Kylee Pena

Netflix

"SMPTE has been great for creating a base of knowledge to understand all the stuff that comes after figuring out the beginning of your career. And it's been helpful to meet people I can call on if I run into issues and need help – technically or in my career."

Liz Pieri

"It is exciting to get to work on different projects within SMPTE and be in a position to help members push boundaries and reach their potential. SMPTE is an incredible resource for both students and professionals, providing not only knowledge, but also a valuable community".
