About Lee Towndrow

I\'ve spent 25 years orchestrating talented people and complex systems to make beautiful images: it turns out that\'s exactly what working with AI agents and tools requires. The eye, the domain knowledge, the ability to look at output and know it\'s not there yet: same job, new tools.Started as a photographer and cinematographer, then moved into visual effects for some of the world\'s most interesting brands. Canada to New York, features for HBO, editorials for TIME and WIRED. Years at The Mill pioneering VR and emerging tech, working with the world\'s best creative teams in the suites. Built teams and pipelines at Artjail creating campaigns for Apple, Google, Meta, Samsung, and others.Today I\'m still making work as a Lead VFX artist, and building the tools. Perstudio.ai for open claw turns prompts into professional shot specs. Shipular automates broadcast delivery workflows for post houses. Both built deep in the Claude Code/agentic ecosystem, alongside ComfyUI and AI pipelines integrated into traditional Nuke and Flame workflows.
