DJ Gothbillie- The Wrekking Hours Sundays 8pm – 10pm
E. Alan Contino is celebrating his 37th year as a professional motion picture and television engineer, photographer and VFX artist. The past decades in the entertainment industry started off as a secondary career to Electrical and Computer Science Engineering but have transpired into the primary focus as a specialist in Stereoscopic, Motion Capture, Visual Effects and Post-Production technologies.
Working on various research and development projects along with SMPTE, IEEE, and AES, becoming head of research for the worlds first Virtual Theatricality Laboratory was a natural fit. VTL special projects for live stage production have allowed Alan a high level of development and education in multi-system integration for Visual Effects technologies. The VTL techniques are now being used by major studios to replace Green Screen production – most notably for productions like “The Mandalorian”.
The VTL was located as Henry Ford College where Alan also took his radio show hobby to the FM airwaves on WHFR 89.3fm Dearborn. In 1998 “The Wrekking Hours” moved from a simple home server stream to WHFR as a weekly feature for Rockabilly, Psychobilly and Surf Rock. The Wrekking Hours show is hosted by Alan as “The Gothabillie Man” The show is now in its 25th year and is featured right here on Radio Cobra every Sunday night from 9pm-11pm
Alan is currently working full-time with the Delirium Networks partnership as CEO and CTO while taking on part time freelance work in Visual Effects, Electrical/Computer Science Engineering, and Broadcast Production.
