Bio
Chris Clyde
Jeff is a talented animator with a good eye for animation. He was one of my heavy hitters on my facial animation team on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Some of the most difficult facial animation shots went to Jeff because of his quality of work. When I was getting spread thin on Uncharted, I chose Jeff to help fill in with mentoring and reviewing some of the teams work.
Mark Tan
Jeff is a talented animator and a truly hard worker. He is also very helpful in giving pointers and assisting co workers in critiquing or fixing issues. I appreciate his collaborative efforts and hope to be working with him again in the future.
