"Timothy Albee is amazingly fast, his output is like that of having four or more people on staff. His innovations, even in rendering techniques, saved the show. Without him, we'd never have been able to meet production schedules."

- Anthony Alvaro, VFX Coordinator, Battlestar Galactica

"Tim Albee has effectively taken the visual effects of the Centurions from being eye-candy and turned them into believable character components of the series while improving their look beyond anything seen before on TV of a similar nature."

- Kelly Lee Myers, VFX Consultant, Battlestar Galactica
