Client feedback
Matt came into our stop motion film as lead creature fabricator and exceeded expectations at every step of the project. His puppets were of professional quality. They looked, felt, and moved as if made by someone with decades of industry experience.... He is incredibly friendly and professional. At every stage - from discovery to delivery - Matt was thorough, punctual. and transparent. Working with Matt was a truly wonderful experience and we would absolutely recommend him to any studio
