CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I brought Jason on board my short film to design and create a custom mask for one of the characters. With only a small handful of reference images, he dove right into designing, sculpting, and molding a realistic and unique mask to use during the short. Throughout the entire process he provided routine updates and worked with me to address any issues and we were on the same page. Jason is a dedicated and talented special effects artist, and I can't wait to work with him on another project.

We hired Jason to do SFX Makeup for our short film. Jason was very professional, easy to work with, and got the job done well. Although we were on a small budget, Jason was very resourceful and creative in finding ways to achieve our needs for less money. We needed him to create realistic wounds on 2 of our actors, create a dead look on one actor, as well as to create two different fresh wound blood gags. He pulled it off beautifully and we would definitely work with him again.
