Bio
Sara Kopke
Words can not express the amount of gratitude I have for Amador. He has been a fantastic teacher, colleague and friend to me. He helped teach much of what I know about animation. In the 3 years I worked with him is eye for design and animation has continuously impressed me. He has given great direction and always knows how to have fun with projects. His skills with After Effects and 3DS Max are unbelievable and hard to match. Its been a pleasure learning from and working with Amador.

I'm not fully qualified to critique Amador's work output, but as a consumer of motion graphics, this guy is some kind of genius. Amador is always willing to try anything, and usually puts out something far beyond what was dreamt up. I would enter any working relationship with Amador again without any further consideration. He will consistently deliver beyond what's expected, I'll bet on it. I look forward to seeing Amador's work in the future.

Amador has a great eye and attention to detail. It shows through in his GG work as well as the personality and emotion in his personal photography. Consistently amazed by his unwillingness to settle for a mediocre execution. Amador is also one part of the elite group of people who can tell a story and not just execute a vision. Collaborating with him on projects was a blast and I hope to do so again in the future.
