Randy is not just a fast and superb professional who can (if you wish) further your ideas, but is,
in addition, a real pleasure to work with. I truly cannot praise him or his work highly enough.

Randy knows After Effects like the back of his hand. He came up with a way to use AE to process microscope images into 3 dimensional volumes. He is a pleasure to work with.
