“ Shawn has provided me with some stellar VFX work on three of my Music Videos Midnight, Almost Human and Black Velvet. Shawn has the passion for what he does and it translates onto the screen. I highly recommend working with Shawn and I’m excited to collaborate with him again.”

Doug Cook - Director

“ Shawn is an editing pro – a few unplanned moves with no notice in our 2nd day of filming resulted in inconsistent footage viewpoints. Being the cost conscious WestJetters we are, there was no way we were able to re-shoot. Shawn managed to splice & dice everything together so it was hardly noticeable. He really went above and beyond for the project – and with his filming and editing expertise, the finished product was exactly what I was looking for.”

Laurel Burns - TitleProgram Manager, WestJet

“ Shawn's work is really good. He sees the big picture and doesn't need a lot of direction. Makes my job easier when people add to the project instead of waiting on instructions and that's what Shawn does.”

Michael Grills - Creative Director

“ Shawn is one of the finest creative minds I have ever encountered. Couple his raw design talent with his insane understanding of a camera and you have one of the best media artists you could ask for. I look forward to working with him on many more endeavors. Personable | Great Value | On Time | High Integrity”

Greg Smith - Video Editor + Motion Animator, Motion Kitchen

“ Shawn and I have enjoyed working together on various motion graphics, compositing and photography projects over the past fifteen years. As a part of the team, in various capacities, Shawn readily and consistently contributed his creative talents to move projects forward to completion. One of Shawn’s traits that I enjoy most is his adventurous approach to problem solving and brainstorming. I look forward to our next collaboration and would happily recommend Shawn to others.”
