| "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
Timothy Albee has been a

Director's
note about the Kaze project:
Kaze,
Ghost Warrior
is first and foremost a proof-of-concept
to illustrate how productions can be accelerated and resource needs
can be reduced through streamlining production methods as detailed
in CGI
Filmmaking, The Creation of Ghost Warrior.
To
prove this point under the most extreme conditions, the
first 23-minute installment of Kaze, Ghost Warrior was
completed by one person alone, in 6 months of production.
To
meet animation deadlines, every scene had to be taken from
set-up to final in an average of only 4 hours.
