What people say about Stu

“Stu and I worked together on the Alex Proyas sci-fi film “Knowing”. Through his role as character TD for the show, I worked with him specifically on the rigs for the aliens featured at the end of the film, which required a lot of specific controls to allow for physiological changes made by the director at every stage of production. Stu handled the challenges brilliantly under great stress – I would consider him to be a talented, calm, resourceful team member who I would happily work with again on any show.” – Will R., 3D Supervisor, Animal Logic

““Well travelled and professional, Stu’s experience in the CG industry shows through his wide knowledge and abilities. A great problem-solver; always willing to lend a hand and generous in sharing his wisdom; with patience even for the most inexperienced of understudies.” – Chaz S., Games Artist, Relentless Software

“Stu Jones? What can I say this lad makes rigging looks easy. His work is always to the highest standard and if you need work done you can always count on Stu.” – Chi-Hung C., Lead Animator, Midway Games
