Bio
James Fortier
Mike’s an inventive and efficient animator. You can always count on him to help transform client ideas to video reality. I’ve worked with Mike on numerous projects and I can’t say enough about his skills, dedication, and tenacity. Sure, he’s able to come through as clutch in a tight situation. But give him quality source material and ample time to assemble it, and you’ll wind up with a result far better than this sum of its parts.

Mike is exactly what I look for in a Lead Animator. He has great ideas and the confidence to bring them to the table. It's his out of the box thinking that makes him add value to any project he's on. As a lead, one of Mike's many high-caliber attributes is the way in which he engages the other artists working under his leadership which yield expert results. Mike knows how to work with all the tools he has at his disposal to make mouth watering, contemporary motion design. I HIGHLY recommend Mike and plan to continue to call Mike for some of my most important projects.
