What People Are Saying:

I'm jealous! Edd has that rare sought after combination of a great artistic eye and proper technical prowess. A lethal mix of talent and skills which allow him to nail every VFX challenge in front of him. Equally importantly, his good organisation and planning makes sure the job gets delivered. Very personable and patient, he has the ability to add real value to any team, focused on getting the most out of himself as well as those around him.
