With exellent animation skills, great design sense and all round understanding of what is necessary in making cartoons I feel there is little he cannot accomplish given the chance. On a personal level I find he is quick to laughter and all round good company. I recommend Alfredo most highly and would have no problem alligning my name with his.

He always kept the production personnel informed of delivery times and possible adjustments he might have needed to make to them. Both our Animatic and Layouts Departments always looked forward to working on Alfredo's boards and his level of drawing and detail in each board certainly helped reduce heart ache and delays for subsequent departments.I look forward to working with him again and will do my best to have him on our next production." </FONT></DIV>
