Bio
Jonathan Germain
I’ve work with Steven on the full CG feature ‘La Guerre des Tuques’. He took the challenge of lighting and compositing with great skill. He is hard working and have very strong technical skill. Artistically, he can adapt to various style and attain the desired look of the production. The movie was special and having a particular lighting look was key to the success of the visual. He found the perfect balance between the artistic need and the time constraint and contributed in making the lighting department a success story. Above all, and more importantly, he always meet is quota. He’s a very devote artist and technician, no challenge was to big for him. On a personal note, he is also very enjoyable to work with. He is a people person, highly regard and respect by others. I recommend him highly and hope to work with him again in the future.
