Bio
Roxanne Reid
Dan Yar is an amazingly talented animator, graphic designer, producer, shooter, and editor. He is a Swiss Army knife for any video or media team. He is willing to take on any project, from the mundane to the impossible. He works quickly with little oversight needed and I can count on him to always deliver by deadline. As a team member he is eager to help others and is my go to technical guy. Dan's portfolio speaks for itself. His photography is beautiful and soulful, his designs are crisp and clean. He is a delight to work with and I hope I have the good fortune to be in his orbit for a long time.

Dan is one of, if not, the best editor I've worked with in nearly 20 years of working in journalism. He edits, animates and makes ideas come alive. I had the pleasure of working with him at Cox Media/Rare and watched him bring new ideas to work each day. He may not say a lot but his great work speaks for him. Dan would be an asset to any company.
