To use my knowledge of 3D animation and effects to make people believe the impossible, even for just a short time.

Recommendations:

• Letter of Recommendation from TMC Services (PDF Format)
• John-Michael Trojan of Alkemy-X:
  “I’ve hired Phil for 3D modeling. He took complete ownership of his work, and delivered exactly what we needed, plus he took the initiative to send his work in with added value. Anyone who goes the extra mile to deliver quality work on time and on budget gets a recommendation from me, and Phil fits that bill.”
• John O’Mahoney
  “I had the pleasure of working my first big freelance gig with Phil. Although we were in different states, he might as well been working besides me. Phil produces, and thats why I’d work with him again.”
• General recommendation from Laura Barker of Alkemy-X
