We hired Bill to create an animated promotional video for our product Frankie. He took the time to understand the brief, then came back to us with a proposal that exceeded our expectations. His creative solutions were far more elegant than our original concepts, while still being true to the brief and his final delivery was exemplary - as well as being on time and on budget. I can't recommend Bill highly enough.

Bill is a great animator and did some amazing cartoony animations on the episode we worked on together! It was easy and fun to work with him as our communication was great! His attention to details, his interest in the all episode and the confidence that his work will be delivered on time make him a very good asset to a team.

      I served as the animation director on Fish With Legs, a short film produced by Backseat Rebel and Directed by Dave Carter. The project saw me managing a team of 5 animators, as well as animating a full work load myself.
