3 people have recommended Chris "Chris joined us during the comp' stage of a high-end, fully CG 60" TV Ad. He was happy to help in any way he was asked, follow our studio procedures, take direction from the team without fuss, and produce some fine work in After Effects. He was also friendly and personable, and I would happily recommend him to be a part of any team in need of a knowledgeable compositor." — Kelsi-Dean Buck, Producer / Production Manager, A Large Evil Corporation, managed Chris at A Large Evil Corporation "Working on Ultramarines - a Warhammer 40,000 Movie - as Lead VFX Artist, Chris showed his mad compositing talents on a daily basis. It was a true pleasure working with Chris and I would recommend him as a really amazing compositor and as a truly fantastic individual to work with in a heartbeat. In fact I AM recommending Chris for his many qualities right now. Fast, furious, and funny - give Chris a computer, a tight eadline and a heap of complex VFX shots to finish and he will amaze you!" — Alexander Lentjes, Line Producer & Post Production Supervisor, Codex Pictures / Good Story Productions, managed Chris at Codex Pictures / Good Story Productions "Chris has a superb visual eye and attention to detail, his manipulation of composition and light is sensitive and truly aesthetically pleasing.
