About Me
“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 (Walls) Oakley
I’ve always consider myself a all around digital artist and a 3dsmax gerneralist. 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 and compositing packages and on set 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.
