RECOMENDATIONS

Grant Gilbert

Elliott consistently goes above and beyond to help us on projects that are both challenging and have tight deadlines. His expertise is a valuable asset on shoots that help us achieve the best in post and he's a lovely bloke to work with too.

Tom Brown

Freelance Director

Elliot and I have worked together on numerous ads and promos for brands such as Currys, Nike, Football Manager and Natwest and on each of these projects he has deftly an expertly delivered the highest levels of finishing. He has constructed and comped entire scenarios from scratch- seamlessly integrated graphics elements with green screen and provided the most difficult shots with brilliant solves, both on time and on budget. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

NINA KHAN

POST PRODCUTION SUPERVISOR

I think it’s fair to say I have been blown away by Elliott’s skill and creativity on the Flame. Elliott has a skillset that’s quite unique in the drama world that I inhabit! He did some incredibly creative work for us that blew me (and the team) away.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Elliot on a very challenging project and vital having his creative input expertise, and personality helping to bring my vision to light. I'd work with him at the drop of a hat.

Elliott absolutely nailed the idents we worked on together - his professionalism and can-do approach was exemplary. We've been lucky enough to work on a few projects with him and each time his attention to detail during tight deadlines has been outstanding.

Amanda Lowit

Managing Director at The TV Production Office

We have worked together recently on numerous occasions at Smoke and Mirrors on both large scale TVC's and sponsorship ident projects which have involved a mix of live action and visual effects. I have always been impressed with the role Elliott plays in the projects, whether its as a vfx supervisor on set or a flame artist. He is very talented, creatively intuitive, always listens to feedback and responds with constructive thinking/solutions and last but not least is a very nice person to work with too - a real team player who I trust immensely. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Andrew Oakey

Freelance Post Producer

I’ve worked with Elliott on short and long form projects and he’s always been a pleasure to work with. He’s hard-working, technical but above all else very very creative. A lot of my most satisfying projects have come from working with Elliott and talking through the visual aesthetic. He’s always nailed the shot we’ve worked on and the client’s always gone home happy.

Emma Ibbetson

Executive Producer / VFX Producer - at Taylor James Ltd

I always enjoyed working with Elliott at Smoke & Mirrors, he made everything so much easier. 
Our Producers and Clients would consistently push to work with him (or rather fight over him). Not just because he was the solid option and 100% reliable, but also because people simply enjoyed his company and found his calm concsientious approach and great team spirit very reassuring at times of extreme pressure. If we could have cloned him life would have been far simpler... He's a genuinely nice guy with a warm, easy going manner and always keeps things positive. Elliott really cares about what he does, has creative opinions and is a great creative collaborator. He's great with clients and inspires confidence, always taking the time to listen and dicuss creative options, to get to the the essence of the brief and find the best solutions.
He's a very versatile Artist and Supervisor, with a great eye for detail, an inquiring mind and a solid technical grounding to inform his vision. Best of all he'll always get the job done, push it that extra mile and keep everyone happy.

Lem Lawrence

Head of VFX at Hero Post & Freelance Flame Artist

I have had the pleasure of working with Elliott from early in his career to this day as a senior flame artist and VFX supervisor. Elliott is a very accomplished technical VFX artist with a wide spectrum of talent and knowledge, from commercials, corporates and broadcast trailers. He works well on his own and as part of a team, whether he is leading a job or playing a helping part. Elliott is fun to work with, as can be seen when he is in his suite working with clients, his clients always seem at ease which is as big a recommendation as any I can give. He also carries no ego which is a big plus. Basically a top man!

Phil Bucknall

I have no reservations at all in recommending Elliott, not only is work outstanding but he deals with pressure calmly and professionally. It was a pleasure to work with him and I hope to do so again.

Anthony Brownmoore

Elliott is an incredibly talented operator that I've had the great fortune to work with. His compositing skills and eye for detail breathed life into the work he produced for A Beard and a No Show. His ability to work to tight deadlines and to bring that extra bit of shine to the table means I'm very much looking forward to the next opportunity we have to work together!

Brett Kelsey

Head of cain&abel Production at Adam & Eve London

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Elliott and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a creative Flame Arist. He always manages to solve the hardest challenges and approach every job with enthusiasm, no matter how big or small and doesn't ever just settle for the easy option. His creative thinking and can-do attitude make him one of the best ops I've had the pleasure of managing.

Laura Botten

Elliott's technical skills and attention to detail are exceptional. He really understood our brief ('perfection'!) and met it, with some excellent results for our client's brand Finish. He was a pleasure to work with and I hope to again soon.
