Bio
Matthew Talbot-Kelly
Michael is focussed, clear headed, and smart. On Elysium, we threw all sorts of different tasks at Michael - layout, modelling, continuity checks, asset completion and quality control, pipeline compatibility issues, and more. Not only did Michael complete them as directed - carrying them out efficiently and smilingly - he more often than not went beyond what we requested. Seemingly No task was too big or too small. It is this sense of initiative and responsibility that I was most impressed by, especially given his limited work experience in the industry. In a very short time, he became a key contributor to the film. To top it all off, Michael is a really nice guy - down to earth, no attitude, positive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael for further jobs in the industry.

I have worked closely with Michael over the last year on numerous difficult projects. He quickly excelled beyond a junior artist as his organizational skills and careful eye for detail earned him more complex tasks. We counted on him to manage complicated layouts along with detailed assets on multiple shows at any given time proving him to be versatile and a quick learner. Michael will be a great addition to any team. -Jeff
