Roderick Quin
FOUNDER & CEO
For over 20 years Rod Quin has worked in the film industry as a sculptor, model-maker, mould-maker, technician, props builder, carpenter, draftsman, illustrator, artist, designer and art director. Rod's background has allowed him to experiment with materials and techniques unknown to traditional studio artists and given him the privilege of collaborating with technicians across many disciplines.
Rod is a graduate of the Emily Carr Institute and the University of British Columbia where his interests included oriental landscape architecture, sacred architecture and scientific instrumentation. Rod also studied perceptual awareness of architectural space and the works of American minimalist artists including Richard Smithson, Richard Sierra, James Turrell, and Robert Erwin.
At QMAAS, Rod invented and perfected the Ombrae System of imaging that he now uses as the primary medium for his work. A sampling of Rod's work in film can be found at www.rodquin.com
