Lorne Lanning
President, Oddworld Inhabitants
LORNE LANNING is the Co-Founder, President, and Creative Director of the video game development company Oddworld Inhabitants. He has 18 years experience in computer graphics and digital media. He was initially trained as a photorealist illustrator at the School of Visual Arts in New York, and then later trained in classical animation and visual effects at the California Institute of the Arts (BFA). He has an Honorary Doctorate Degree from the San Francisco Academy of Art College and also serves on the board of directors for AIAS, as well as the Advisory Board to the President for the San Francisco Academy of Art College, and is also a member of the Visual Effects Society. Early on in his career, his interest in high technology led him to serve as a technical director at the TRW Visualization Center in Redondo Beach, California. But forever fascinated by the trail of high-end militaristic technology as it trickled into the commercial entertainment sector, Lorne pursued his career in Hollywood. Prior to founding Oddworld, Lorne worked with Rhythm & Hues Studios in Hollywood, CA. Here he grew through the ranks of Modeler, Technical Director, Sr. Technical Director, Art Director, and Visual Effects Supervisor. In 1994 he convinced computer graphics veteran Sherry McKenna (winner of over 40 Clio awards) to be the Co-Founder and CEO of Oddworld Inhabitants. The cinematics from Oddworld’s games have garnered dozens of awards from not only the games industry, but also from the music, television, and film industries as well as illustration & design annuals. Inspired by the nature of property universes created by the likes of Tolkien, George Lucas, Jim Henson and Walt Disney... Oddworld has since been dedicated to the creation of next generation digital universes.
