Philippe Bergeron is President/CEO of PaintScaping, a global leader in 3D projection mapping, and upcoming... drones. He has executive produced the first projection on The Hollywood Sign, first projection on an operational rocket at Cape Canaveral, and largest mapping ever in the USA, for Britney Spears, in Las Vegas.

Bergeron holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in computer science from University of Montreal. In 1985, he co-directed the groundbreaking short "Tony de Peltrie," the world’s first CGI human with emotion. Time called it a "...breakthrough. A digitized character with whom a human audience can identify."

Bergeron is also an accomplished actor. He has appeared in over 50 films and TV shows, including Iron Man 2, Mad Men, Rush Hour 3, E.R., The Shield, Contact, and Godzilla 1998. His proudest moment? Guest starring on The Sopranos.

And for fun, Philippe created "The Forest of Mirrors," a most unique garden, where there is no end. It was featured on HGTV and KNBC.
