James is a fine specimen of an animator. With his hard working attitude and extraordinary talent, his shots are sure to shine in quality and creativity. James was a pleasure to work with on Avengers: Endgame, Jungle Book and Aladdin, as his work was inspirational and was always ready to help those around him. I sincerely hope our paths cross again.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to James during our time on The Jungle Book at MPC, it was inspiring to see how he was growing as an animator throughout the film, Starting off with simple shots and ending up gaining trust from his leads and animating more complex shots with hero characters. James is a great talent, fast learner and great attitude. I would love to work with him again.

      I worked part time as a runner during my 2nd and 3rd year of university, this really helped me get a foot in the door and extra advice on my animations. After graduating it lead me to work on some shows in commercials, as show in the above experiences.
