I’ve worked with Shift and I can’t find the words to describe how good he is at what he does. He stays committed and no matter what comes across him he will pull through and do it. I not only recommend you to hire him if you’re looking for an Animator but I highly suggest you save this DevForum post and or share it with people you think would be interested in hiring an animator.

Good Shift. He’s an experienced animator and I’d recommend him for anyone who wants a cinematic game trailer.

I’ve had nothing but positive interactions with Shift, he’s a great individual who is very committed to his crafts and is always eager to learn more. Above all else, he has a shining personality and holds himself to a very high standard of work. Whether it’s a solo commission or a studio project, I highly encourage anyone in need of his services to reach out while there is still an opportunity to do so. It’s only a matter of time before his high-caliber work lands him a full time gig with a front page game-dev group and I won’t be surprised if it happens soon.

Shift’s mind works more creatively than almost any animator on this platform, and this isn’t even mentioning his insane work ethic and work flow.

By far one of the most talented, hard working, professional animators on this platform.

I just commissioned a trailer from @Shift4D for my game Parenthood!
He was super professional from start to finish, while also being fun to work with. He created our vision better than we ever could have imagined it. I cannot recommend someone more than I could Shift, if you’re looking for industry standard work that will be loved, look no further than him!

Can I just ask why you use autodesk maya which I believe costs money when you could just use blender, this is because I am getting into animating and I am just wondering why I should use that over blender?

I use Maya in a professional setting, as well as for school! Blender is an amazing alternative, and you should definitely pick that up instead. It also has a great community of people to learn and get resources from, since you’re just starting off.

Why I continue to use Maya though, is for the animation tools. I’m using Blender at the current moment, and I think the animation tools really lack compared to Maya’s. Just my opinion!
