letter of recommendation a.
"His work is always exemplary and I cannot recall a single instance in which I was unimpressed by his obvious rapport with the voice-over artist. Thorin's amicable, good nature is also very apparent in his interactions with Richter Studios' employees, as well as client base. Frequently corresponding with our largest clients, Thorin clearly comprehends the "global picture" of projects: assessing project goals, resource limitations, and deadlines."

letter of recommendation b.
"I collaborated on projects with Thorin in which he served on video postproduction, animation, and sound engineering, and in every role, he delivered quality work that was under budget and on time. Nevertheless, it's obvious that Thorin continues to spend his time honing his skills across the board."

letter of recommendation c.
"Thorin was called upon to use his talents and formal training in interactive presentation authoring as well as 3D modeling and animation. His experience with Macromedia Director was utlized as lead programmer of an award winning production for a client entitled, 'Wetguard i-Bulletin.' Based on his talents and accomplishments, Thorin should be considered a valuable addition to any new media production company."

letter of recommendation d.
"Thorin has proven to be a valuable asset to the ITS Department with great ability to work independently to get tasks completed efficiently and on time. Thorin is a self-starter; always willing to help out other students and instructors even when he is not working. Because of his excellent troubleshooting skills, I never hesitate to send a student, who is having problems with Maya, to Thorin for help. Thorin is always more than willing to take on extra hours when asked. I consider him to be one of our most reliable work-study students. He has an excellent work ethic."
