"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

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.
