Bio
Ashton Andersen
Frederick Iyela was a contracted animator for our studio, Virtual Basement LLC, during September 2017 through January 2018. He worked on an unannounced project currently in process. During his time with us Frederick delivered excellent work and never missed a deadline. While working with Frederick, he displayed nothing but great communication, efficiency, input, and quick responses to changes requested. Frederick animates at a very high level and was able to deliver exactly what we needed of him and more. I recommend Frederick as an animator for any studio looking for great talent. You will get an exceptional animator who is a team player if you include Frederick on your project.
Colin Oleksyn
I had the pleasure of working with Frederick on the Bob the Builder production at Rainmaker Entertainment. Frederick joined us with very little production experience but quickly adjusted to the rapid pace of a television schedule. Frederick always had a positive attitude and was well liked by his team members. He worked hard, often putting in the extra hours to complete his assigned tasks and improve his skill. He was a valued animator that consistently created entertaining work. I look forward to working with him again if the occasion arises. Colin Oleksyn Animation Director Bob the Builder
