Working with Dan is fantastic - he's thoughtful, fast, and has a great attention to detail, delivering quality work each time. He's a great communicator, which is a producer's dream in collaborating with an artist, always making sure everyone is on the same page on the task at hand, and aware if any curveballs have come up.

In each instance, he has remained calm, focused, and solutions-oriented, always finding a way to deliver results that exceed expectations. What makes Dan particularly unique is his unwavering attention to detail and his commitment to excellence in every aspect of his work.

“I can't say enough good things about Dan Kelly. Not only is he resourceful and talented but he is also a pure delight to work with . I used the word "work" but in all honestly, collaborating with Dan feels nothing like work as he is both charming and always thinking a step ahead!”

~ E.P Andy Crosby

“It has always been a pleasure working with Dan. He has seen it all throughout his career and has a scalable model which works really well when a project needs more artists. Would highly recommend him for any of your online/flame artist needs!”

~ CO-FOUNDER, Tanja Harney

“I’ve been working with Daniel and The Faculty non stop for about ten years now. I love working with them, they are a great freelance solution for getting my spots out the door looking super polished. Daniel is gifted both artistically and technically, and is a creative problem solver with great taste. Daniel is also lovely to work with, both remotely and in-person. Highly recommended.”

~ DIRECTOR, Eric Yealland

“I had the pleasure of working with Daniel on many projects while at Rhinofx. Although his title was "Senior Flame Artist" his abilities and creativity transcended that role. In my eyes and many other colleagues', he was someone you could approach to write a treatment, pitch a new job, construct a VFX methodology, or flat out lead a team of artists in achieving the creative objective while also managing the client. He is a talent on the box, as well as a talent off the box.”
