"John is a very accomplished animator who can adapt to any style. He is a real artist who pays great attention to his craft. Above all else, John is a great mate with a calming aura surrounding him. I would not hesitate to recommend him and I only hope that one day we can work together again."
Nexus ProductionsJohn has worked with us on a few of our projects. He’s passionate, hard working and, most importantly, a very good character animator. He’s a real contributor. Hands off!"
Seed AnimationJohn quickly became an integral member of our production team. He was brought in as an animator, but proved himself equally skilled as a compositor, special effects artist and director. He is my first port of call if I want something doing on time and well."
