Recommendation written by: Mike Miller, Sr. Visual Effects Supervisor | VP of Visual Effects at Park Road Post Production
Julian's passion and commitment to producing high quality work is one of his greatest strengths. He is an enthusiastic team player who is able to pick up and learn new processes very quickly and has no problem helping others along the way. I really pushed Julian out of his comfort zone on this project, and he responded very well by embracing each new challenge as another opportunity to grow. I enjoyed working with Julian and look forward to working with him again someday.
