VANCOUVER
WORKING EVERYWHERE
We make images, build systems
and investigate what they can become.
01 / SELECTED WORK
From a camera on a film set to an environment on a keynote stage. The work connects the image, the technology and the people using it.
REAL PLACE. RECONSTRUCTED.
NVIDIA / CES 2025
Lee originated and delivered radiance field environments for Jensen Huang's keynote. Photographed spaces became environments for a live LED stage, through a pipeline built around RealityCapture, Postshot and a single RTX 4090.
Inside the project Independent coverageTHE LORD OF THE RINGS / THE RINGS OF POWER
Camera operation, Technodolly motion control and virtual production. Scale illusions built around real performers, with live composites giving the director a view of the result.
Lee's camera and technical work also spans War for the Planet of the Apes, Night at the Museum and Fargo.
02 / THE STUDIO
Production, coding and research
in the same room.
Visual Movement is Lee J Buckley's Vancouver studio. It brings film production, camera systems, post production and software development into one working environment.
We follow a problem through the disciplines it needs. A shot can lead to a camera tool. A production can expose a missing piece of software. Research earns its place by changing what we can make.
CINEMATOGRAPHY / EDITORIAL / COLOUR / SOUND
Camera, lighting, motion control and virtual production connect with editorial, colour and sound. Our development follows one firm principle: real performances remain intact.
Explore the film workCODE / WORKFLOWS / PRODUCTION TOOLS
Ingest, source records, transcripts, editorial evidence and repeatable operations. We are developing a connected production system that carries the work through interruptions and keeps ordinary operations independent of an AI subscription.
Explore developmentCAPTURE / GAUSSIAN SPLATTING / UNREAL
Photogrammetry and radiance fields connect physical spaces with digital production. Our work brings capture, Postshot and Unreal into the same investigation, with camera, colour and movement considered together.
Explore research03 / SOFTWARE & DEVELOPMENT
Custom applications, data pipelines and automation built from the way a business actually works. Film is one proving ground. The practice reaches further.
A connected path from footage ingest through source records, transcription, script correspondence, editorial, review and delivery. Development and practical learning in Resolve, Unreal, Postshot, colour and cinematography advance together.
Built at Visual Movement.
Developed through production.
A rental property platform built to bring scattered Da Nang listings into a single map based search. Research, data handling, software and the user experience were part of the same build.
Custom application
Aggregation & search
A content distribution engine built to format material for several social platforms from a single source document. The project joined publishing workflows, platform integration and automation.
Selected past build
Workflow automation
Desktop software for competitor price tracking and listing management. A practical application of data collection and automation to the everyday work of an online seller.
Desktop application
Data & operations
A documented investigation into an OpenClaw deployment. The audit identified two critical and two moderate vulnerabilities, and turned the findings into remediation and operating rules.

04 / APPLIED RESEARCH
Curiosity has to survive
contact with the work.
We investigate the technology, exercise it in the actual software and carry the result into a tool, a workflow or a production. What succeeds, what fails and what remains unproven stay visible.
Current work connects real time environments, Gaussian splatting, camera systems, colour science and production software. The knowledge accumulates in the business instead of disappearing with the next project.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRACTICE
Filmmaker, camera operator and technologist. Lee brings experience on feature films and television together with hands on software development and research. Visual Movement is where those disciplines meet.
