I had the privilege of working with Kevin while animating at Sony on Hotel T. Kevin is an
AMAZING animator and an ideal person for managing artist / animators as a lead or sup. He's
technically knowledgeable, has an experienced eye, and is sincerely a nice guy. Kevin always
had a great attitude, treated others professionally and with respect, and was just an absolute
blast to work with. All the qualities of a good leader, he would be a valuable asset to any and
all studios and productions. I highly recommend Kevin and I can only hope to work with him
(or for him) again in the future. Thanks Kevin for making my time at Sony such an amazing
experience I appreciate you greatly!

Having Kevin Scott on your animation team is like having an iron clad insurance policy in your
back pocket; always good to know you have that kind of reliability there should times get
tough. Its been great working with Kevin again on Happy Feet 2. He's a lot of fun to work with
and entirely capable of handling whatever type of animation performance or action you throw
at him. Recommended? Heck ya. Snap him up quickly if you have the opportunity. You'll be
glad you did.

Kevin did exemplary work on Aliens in the Attic. He's got a good eye, keen technical expertise,
and was a pleasure to work with.

Hues
Kevin Scott was one of the animators I truly enjoyed working with at Sony. Kevin provided
some of the best feedback I got during Open Season. He is a dedicated and talented
animation craftsman and I'd go out of my way to work with him again.

Kevin was a cornerstone in our animation team on Bounty Hunter. We all loved his
contribution and great attitude!
— Doug MacMillan, CG Supervisor, ILM, managed Kevin indirectly at Industrial Light and
Magic
Kevin was one of the key instructors and was very instrumental in sharing production tested
ideas for the course. He encouraged and motivated students to come up with solutions. He
shared valuable tips and expertise and is a natural teacher.
