Jonathan was a welcome asset to the team and produced some fine work at Framestore when we worked together on Primeval Series 2. This,combined with a stellar personality means I have no problems recommending Jono to future employers.

Jonathan initially started as a Runner at Framestore CFC and then through sheer hard work, determination and talent moved up to the role of Junior Animator. It is credit to Jonathan that in such a fiercely competitive environment he achieved recognition and success and I can wholeheartedly recommend him as both a lovely colleague and Animator.

Jonathan is a very talented CG artist. He is an extremely professional individual who takes his job seriously. He is also able to have fun at his job, while still getting the work done and demanding a high level of competency from himself and his colleagues. Jonathan is also very eager to learn new things and work flows. His varied knowledge in several different styles of Animation, be it photo realistic creature animation or acting based Character Animation make him a valuable asset to every production. I can highly recommend Jonathan and I would welcome the opportunity to work him again.

Jonathan is an animator I worked with in Passion Pictures. He is very good and has a very good sense of what a director wants. It was very pleasant to work with him not only because he's a good animator but also because he gets to the point quickly . Furthermore he's always there for the people who may need help. It was a great experience working with him, hope you will enjoy working with him.

Jono is a very talented animator. He is motivated and driven, and also willing to help other team members. The Nutcracker was my first animation project using XSI, and he was always happy to answer the technical questions I had about the package. He has a great sense of humour, and is a pleasure to work with.

I have worked with Jonathan over the last couple of years at Framestore on Primeval 2 and 3 and during that period he has improved by leaps and bounds producing a large no. of high quality shots on time. He has a great deal of natural ability and brings a fine sensibility to a shot to set it well above the average. Jonathan has proved himself in a highly competitative environment at Framestore as an animator and professional and I'm certain he is a valuable addition to any animation team. I'm happy to recommend him and would not hesitate to work with him in future.
