Dylan Speiser
Hi! I'm a Computer Engineer who loves fast-paced, collaborative problem solving. I wear many hats: engineer, filmmaker, theater tech, astronomer, even actor, all while leveraging the most powerful technology I can. I'm doing what humans have always done best: telling incredible stories for generations to come.
Here's what I've been working on:
Video & Voice Administrator @ SpaceX
After college, I joined SpaceX full time as Starbase's "Video & Voice Administrator". I love bringing the story of the largest rocket ever made down to Earth using my skills with cameras, networking, live production, and engineering. The future is bright thanks to Starship, and we're just getting started. Stay tuned!
Project Phoenix: a Dylan Rewind Story
"Project Phoenix: a Dylan Rewind Story" was my Senior ode to College Park, and the growth and friendships I built there. It's a metaphorical journey through the crazy experiment called "college", and the personal growth it catalyzes. You can watch Project Phoenix here on YouTube!
Project Phoenix took over a year and a half to produce, and the work of over 40 cast and crew members. Learn more about the production of Project Phoenix at dylanrewind.com/projectphoenix
REST API Tutorials & WebUI for BMD Cameras
For my Summer 2024 internship with Blackmagic Design, I created a series of tutorials that explains how to use the built-in REST API for controlling cameras and HyperDecks over the network. The finale of this tutorial is a fully custom, open-source web app that synchronizes with the camera in real-time. This project allowed me to exercise and improve my skills in web design (specifically JavaScript) and computer networking. It's also a great way to show how technology can empower creative tools and workflows.

Dylan Rewind
Dylan Rewind was a yearly short film / montage I started back in high school. Project Phoenix is the most recent entry in the series, leagues above what I had done before. The Dylan Rewind website has synopses and behind-the-scenes information about each entry in the series.
