Recommendations

"Tim is one of the most talented Matte Painters I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His work was the cornerstone of the VFX for the film, and his follow-through and attention to detail helped drive the project to completion. I would leap at the opportunity to work with him again, and would recommend him to any production that might enquirer."
David Jones, VFX Supervisor, New Line

"Tim is by far one of the best matte painters I have worked with. Not only for his creative and paint skills, but also for his intuitive grasp of what directors, production designers and supervisors all require within the one film. Being able to come up with matte paintings/designs that keep all the creatives happy, now that's the true skill!"
Diana Giorgiutti, VFX Producer, Bazmark

"Tim contributed way above expectation while with us. He has an excellent eye for detail and always delivered to the highest professional standards. He manages to balance creative, practical, technical, organizational and social skills which leads him to be a very well respected and liked member of the team. He performed all tasks with integrity and professionalism for which I thank him. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again and I hope I get that opportunity."
Jane Milledge, Head of Design, Animal Logic
