When Millimeter magazine declared John Copeland “the producer’s producer” it was because few in the industry can boast his comprehensive knowledge of the entire production spectrum. From traditional filmmaking techniques to the evolving landscape of new technologies, many of which Copeland helped pioneer, few have contributed as much in terms of shepherding quality entertainment to the small screen.

John Copeland has produced over 220 hours of Prime Time television programming. Many of these productions were not only award winners but also brought innovations to film and television production, including the first television series to combine state of the art 3D computer generated character animation with live action and visual effects.

The award winning series Babylon 5 broke new ground in television as the first program to create all of the visual effects using computer animation.

In the spring of 2000, Copeland began his association with Pierre de Lespinois and Evergreen Films.
