REFERENCES
Ellis Goodson, artist, Heavy Iron (colleague)
“Todd is an accomplished animator. Excellent draftsmanship and gesture in his drawings. Trained in-house by Disney as they transitioned from 2D to 3D. The animation work he did for Heavy-Iron was all top rate. Award winning in the case of Ratatouille. He's equally competent at player move animation as he is at the storytelling of cinematics.” August 25, 2009
Bela Brozsek, Technical Art Director, Heavy Iron Studios / THQ (colleague)
“Todd's work represents some of the most outstanding game animations coming from THQ / Heavy Iron studios. his keen sense of design and motion helped to overcome the game engine's limitations. he was a pleasure to work with even in the longest days and nights. i can recommend him highly and would love to work with him again.” August 27, 2009
Gary Myers, Lead Animator, Heavy Iron Studios (colleague)
“I've known and worked with Todd for over a decade. He is a very talented and versatile animator and artist. He is highly competent in 3D/2D animation, clean up, storyboards and character design (all of which he's worked in professionally). I often called on him to take on large amounts of work, knowing that he'd always get it done right and on time. He is always eager and willing to help in any way he can and he always sets a good tone on all the crews I've worked with him on.” August 27, 2009
Brian Yam, Senior Concept Artist, Insomniac Games (colleague)
“Todd is a high caliber animator as well as an easy going person to work with. I have worked with Todd on Resistance and he always had a positive attitude and demeanor. His work on the character animations were dynamic and fun to look at. I would highly recommend Todd for animator.” September 1, 2009
Jeremy Cantor, Senior Animator / Dept Head, Insomniac Games (colleague)
“I really enjoyed working with Todd. Not only is he a very talented and versatile animator, but he is also witty and personable. A great guy to have around and an excellent addition to any animation team!” September 2, 2009
