10 years ago, my CTO Michael Gallo and I had the idea to utilize the graphics card to do real time image processing. NVIDIA was very helpful and invited us to exhibit at their booth at Siggraph 2003 — while the rest of the world called us crazy.

Today, of course, GPU processing is mainstream and SpeedGrade is as well, thanks to Adobe and the Creative Cloud.

Unfortunately I had to miss the celebrations at the ARRI Theater, but I sent my greetings via video from New York.
