What People Are Saying


“ I’ve worked with David on a couple of projects at ILM Immersive. He’s a very personable, passionate, and talented animator that brings years of experience to the table. He’s adapt at both hand-key and motion capture animation.

— Huck Wirtz: Senior Animator at ILM

“I worked with Dave on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in the spring of 2022. He joined our ranks towards the end of the show, but managed to get up to speed on the idiosyncrasies of our pipeline and the character pretty quickly to produce a handful of shots in the short time he was on the show. He's got a great attitude and clearly cares about character and quality. I hope we will cross paths again on a future show!”

— Elizabeth (Liz) Bernard: Senior Animation Supervisor at Digital Domain

“David has been a tremendous asset to our animation team. His extensive experience allows him to tackle any animation task that comes his way. Additionally, he is always the first to offer advice or share useful tips and tricks for handling difficult tasks or effectively using tools.”

— Michael Shahan: Senior Animator at ILM

“David and I worked together on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania at DD for roughly three months. He was quick to pick up tasks, notes and our pipeline. He was very focused on our character and the quality put into the character, always striving to improve his shots. He has a great attitude and is a team player. I hope to work with him again in the future!”

— Frankie Stellato: Animation Department Supervisor / Senior Animation Supervisor at Digital Domain


“David is one of the best Animators I've ever worked with. I first met David years ago, as I was starting in Games. At the time he was the lead Animator and I was transitioning from a freelance graphic artist to a game artist. David taught me quite a lot. Years later, after I had become Art Director on Star Wars: The Old Republic, I was able to hire David as an animator for that project. He brought a wealth of experience and could hit the mark with little feedback or direction. He made my job easy. He is one of those people managers love. You don't have to micromanage him, you know he has got it and will do the job right, thus leaving you free to deal with the thousands of other issues a manager has. Dave has always been a very laid back, humble guy, which belies the vast experience he has in both games and film. He is easy to work with and professional. I hope to work with him again one day.”

— Jason Minor: Senior Art Director | Visual Development Consultant | Team Builder | Mentor | Creative

“Dave is a very experienced animator and well versed in many styles and platforms. Whether working on character animation, previs, creatures or digital doubles, Dave brings a positive attitude and steady enthusiasm to any task. His knowledge of practical creature effects was also a big plus for our VFX work.”
