“Brett has been a real asset to our production team. We hired him to manage a complex medical animation that showed internal processes, overlaid on video that showed the surgeon working. He independently researched the anatomy and equipment and created work that was accurate and easy to understand. He worked directly with our client and made a great impression, reflecting well on our company. I will definitely hire him again!”
