While at Kai/Harding, Patrick has been thrown everything from real and virtual lighting and camera work, to complex stereoscopic visual and motion effects development and production, and he's taken every challenge in stride. His insightful problem solving ability and "bring it on" attitude" are complemented with best in class design sensibilites, making him a powerful filmmaking ally. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Patrick, and highly recommend him and his work.
