Mike (Walls) Oakley : Digital Artist I consider myself a all around digital artist. Never wanting to stick with one medium I like to discover new and experimental ways of completing projects. I’ve always considered myself a generalist when it comes to 3d. I enjoy the changing of hats on a project. With over 10 years of experience using 3D Max, compositing packages and on location direction I understand what it takes to carry a project from concept to completion. My energetic attitude, strong work ethic and creative insight assure projects are completed on time and exceed expectations. I am eager to put my enthusiasm to work for you.

“Mike was a valuable member of our team on ’2012′. He approached every technical challenge or shot with a smile and persistent determination. His pro-active attitude, diverse skill set and great problem solving skills make him an efficient and effective artist. Any production would benefit from Mike’s presence on their team and I look forward to the next opportunity to collaborate with him again.”

Mike has a great level of diversity, and can handle anything that gets thrown his way. He is a great guy to work with and a person you can trust to get it done, but more importantly, he gets it done well. I would definitely work with Mike again.”
