"Marten has immense talent and enthusiasm. His positive spirit is always
contagious. I really enjoyed the times we worked together. He is very fast
and is always coming up with ingenious ways to solve problems. I can't
recommend him highly enough."
Steve Matson, VFX Art Director, Matson Fx
“Marten is a very experienced compositor in film, long-form television and
commercials that we've worked with many times over about 8 years. He
combines good technical knowledge with a good creative eye. Marty is
probably at his best when he has a complex problem to solve and can then
apply that solution to a sequence of shots.”
