About Us

In 1994 Dayton Taylor invented and patented a system for producing time-independent virtual camera movement in motion pictures and other media.

Dayton founded Digital Air Inc. in New York in 1995 to make his invention available to filmmakers, storytellers, designers, and production teams worldwide.

Dayton's 1994 prototype sixty lens Timetrack™ film camera is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, DC.

Dayton's short film Love's Choice (1986), a short silent narrative film in the style of D.W. Griffith, is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Following his work on Tony Scott’s Déjà Vu (2006), Dayton received the 2007 Saxby Award for achievement in the field of three-dimensional imaging from the Royal Photographic Society in the UK.



Over the past thirty years Dayton has made and provided film and digital camera array systems on hundreds of television commercials, films and installations around the world.

The success of Digital Air is a result of the creativity of our clients combined with our decades of experience in the creation of complex visual effects, from previsualization to production to post-production.

Feel free to contact us if you'd like to discuss the feasibility of a specific creative project.
