“Dan is not only a great animator, but a wonderful person. So if you are looking for a mentor you are done with your search.”
Pierrick Picaut
CEO P2Design
“I had the chance to have Daniel mentoring me for a month on a personal project. You can’t imagine how in little time, his feedbacks pushed me to the next level, opening my eyes on many details and concepts I wasn’t aware of when animating. That’s a great opportunity, go for it!”
Sravan Kumar Nunna
Senior Animator ILM
“I have learned a lot in the brief but significant experience I had working under your supervision. And to be honest I felt it was so friendly to work with you that it felt like a mentorship rather, where I learned great things and perform well on the project.
That experience essentially taught me a way of thinking about animating shots in VFX that set me up for life and you said it right, I do remember our interaction every other day. Thank you so much for that Dan! You inspired me in many ways and I am glad more people will benefit from this priceless offering of yours. 🙏 “

“I highly recommend having a mentor like Daniel! He was my lead animator at Moon, and every review session with him was always a fantastic experience. It was always a treat to talk about animation and games with him every day. So jump on his animation mentoring!✨”
