WHAT ANIMATORS ARE SAYING

"It really feels like having a virtual mentor who advises and guides you each day so you don’t lose your way....looking forward to that moment of the day when you receive the email, opening it like a gift, not knowing what’s inside, just knowing it’s something good and helpful."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Todd on many projects.... he always has a clear vision for the needs of a scene while leaving room for animators to innovate.
