About Dan

Check out some of the great things people have to say!



“Dan has been working for me as a freelance animator on the game Xenonauts for nearly 6 months. In that time, he has animated almost every unit in the game.

Dan has proven himself to be a capable and reliable contractor in this period. His work involved him working remotely on the animations on a full time basis and he made steady progress throughout the entire contract, communicating what he was working on to me on a daily basis and making appropriate revisions where requested. I have worked with dozens of contractors on my project and Dan is one of the best I have worked with in terms of communication.

He was also willing to work at rates that took into account the independent nature of my project, which represented excellent value for money. Communication over payment was open and fair and there were no issues there.

The work produced was to a good standard though out. The animations required are displayed at a small resolution but nonetheless Dan's work was convincing and he was always happy to adapt it to my personal preferences.

Overall, I would highly recommend Dan as an animator.”

 “I had the chance to work with Dan during the creation of the third episode of The Silver Lining: My Only Love Sprung From My Only Hate. This episode marked a new step in the animation quality of Phoenix Online products, and Dan had a lot to do with it. Working hard, efficiently, and very open to receiving feedback, Dan turned out spectacular animations that carried the central action scene of the game.

He's also a fun guy to be around. We liked him so much, that we started to give him more responsibilities and now he's acting as a lead animator on the project. You will not be disappointed in his work.”

“Dan was one of my leads on "The Silver Lining" video game. Working with Dan was an extreme joy. He's hilarious and a good buddy. He's super smart when it comes to Maya and I always trusted his advice whenever I had a question. He's patient, kind and a very talented 3D animator. Dan is a excellent example of what it means to have passion for something that you do for a living. He loves his work and is devoted down to the last drop of detail for his animation shots. I hope to work with him again in the near future.”
