Template:Realworld

David A. Lombardi, Jr. (born 24 November 1973; age 50) is a digital visual effects artist who has worked for several years on several Star Trek live-action productions, while in the employ of a succession of digital effects companies.

Upon being hired as Senior Artist/Digital Effects Supervisor by Digital Muse, Lombardi was, in his first true professional gainful employment, instantly involved in the creation of CGI effects for the television shows Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (thirteen episodes) and Star Trek: Voyager (twenty episodes). During these years he has also created CGI models of the Sovereign-class (that was passed over in favor of Santa Barbara Studios' version, but found its way in the trailer of Star Trek: Insurrection and into various licensed print publications), [1] and the Excelsior-class, [2] which was extensively used in the later seasons of DS9 and Voyager. During this time he was co-nominated for an Emmy Award in the category "Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series" for DS9: "What You Leave Behind".

In 2000, Lombardi followed Muse's founder John Gross, as the latter left the company due to a hostile takeover, to Eden FX, the new VFX company Gross had founded, serving in the same capacity, and where he also worked on the ENT: "Broken Bow" episode (that did receive an Emmy Award, but for which he had not received credit). He left that company in 2001, but not before having received a second Emmy Award co-nomination in the same category for VOY: "Workforce".
