"JD's ability to effortlessly complete a first pass for his sequence in record time was outstanding. In addition to his previs animation skills, he helped keep the team on track with his leadership skills and always steady demeanor. His contribution was a godsend.

Arnav Banerji
Previs/Postvis Artist
"J.D. has been a secret weapon for the Arizona Derby Dames, an all girl banked-track roller derby league. Our marketing and public image is top of the heap thanks to videos he's filmed, produced and edited for us. He's made us look exciting, beautiful, strong, fun and most of all, professional. He's easy and fun to work with, yet an accomplished filmmaker you know you can count on to deliver a top notch project by a deadline."
Julie Cozzo "Vintage Vixen"
Arizona Derby Dames Business and Marketing Manager
"JD really knows how to take your ideas for a shot and put it on the screen, and fast. He put so much personality and style into all of his assets and animations. At any point that I had issues or questions, he always had solutions and a great attitude as well. He knows what he's doing and I recommend him for your project"

Brian Chow
Cinematic Animator
Every time I work with JD the story is the same... even when it gets late, and cold and the resources aren't there and someone in some other department has dropped the ball so he doesn't have what he needs, he will always be the one who is still trying to make it happen - at 2am - and still in a good mood about it."
