  “As Co-Founder and Creative Director for New Deal Studios, inc., I felt very fortunate to have Bob as our Digital Supervisor. He not only understood the technical challenges of animation, particle systems and compositing, but he is also extremely creative. And the added bonus not found in many supervisors, is he’s well versed in the production process— and how to interact on set with the cast and crew during photography. Bob also is terrific at finding creative solutions that diverted us from going down a rabbit hole of technology saving us time and money on the various projects he supervised”.
