Bio
Jason Shulman
Wim is a very diverse animator. He can tackle photoreal creatures, cartoons and camera moves. Fun to work with and a great sense of humor, and he can handle just about anything.
Andrei Orehov
I've worked with Wim for years. It's been a very productive period. He is a super talented and dedicated artist. He has a great sense of animation. He feels the characters very well. Sometimes it was too hard for me to understand where his animation was and where the real actor was. His huge experience gets you 100% sure that animation will be of the highest quality. Also he is a fantastic team player. He can organize the entire animation department and lead it without any issues. I really like to hear his advice and opinion when I develop new rig systems. His advice is always very professional and constructive. He is also a great asset and a team player for any studio. They will be super lucky to have this guy in their company. I give him the highest recommendation.
