Reccomendations
Alex Tysowsky - Animation Director at Hinge Digital
"Caleb is a great communicator, easy to work with, he fit into the animation group very well, learning from each member of the team...I wouldn't hesitate to work with Caleb again."
Keith Sizemore - Character Tech and Animation Lead at Lightforge Games
"Not only did he show professional mannerisms around the office with the staff here, but he also showed exemplary skills in his work....He brought with him each day a spark of energy to learn and grow as a professional that was infectious for the rest of the staff. I couldn't recommend Caleb enough."
Nicki Bianchini - Animation Lead at Doberman Pictures
"I worked with Caleb on Supernatural Academy, which was his episodic Television project. Although we didn't work together for very long, it was nice to see that he grew over the two episodes he worked on. I was happy he was eager to film and use reference, as it helped push his shots to another level. His attitude is an asset, which will surely help him as he progresses in his career."
