He's one of the most intelligent and tech savvy supervisors out there. His vast knowledge and experience of film-making makes both production and post go incredibly smoothly, delivering top-notch, quality work.

John, I'm looking at the shot and I'm impressed, very good, indeed ! Thank you (and everybody else who worked on this) very much for this extra effort. I think it completes a fantastic job overall. It's been a real pleasure working with you on this movie.

I was very impressed with the way you handled the questions, very cool under pressure.

Greg Shapiro

Always listen to John Gajdecki, He's an Evil genius.

Jonathan Glassner

Exec Producer / Writer / Director

Your work starts off where the other guy's are calling it a final.

Kelly Smith

Post Supervisor

Are you kidding me, the shot's done for fuck's sakes.

Kelly taught me the value getting to the heart of a shot, getting a feel for what is important and what is not, and getting it done.

Kelvin Yee

2D Artist

He has given me the freedom to be creative and on more than one occasion allowed me to develop looks on several projects. I would not be where I am now if it weren't for him. I highly recommend any other artist or anyone of any position to work with John. He sets a great team environment that is always fun to be in

John has a very impressive collection of material for the students to absorb. Out of all our guest speakers he really stands out with his breadth of material, knowledge of visual effects and the industry in general, and clear enthusiasm for the craft.

Nancy St John

VFX Producer

You'll be nominated for an Academy Award one day. You probably won't win. You are nominated on talent, but win on politics.

Patrick Stark

Director / Producer with many hands

I really appreciate your commitment and work ethic, ...just don't see that anymore....

Shelly Erikson

Driving with John is as close to death as you can come without being scared.

Ted Gervan

Associate Dean, Academic Director of VFX

John's is a true VFX pioneer. I have always been impressed by his commitment and support for educational institutions and admire the way that he invests in the future of the VFX community. When I was a student John invited my class to his Toronto studio for a green screen shoot and tour - over a decade later he is doing the same here in Vancouver and it is great for our students.

Todd Masters

President of Masters FX

You've got creativity, and you can organise creative people. Most people can barely handle one of them.

Tom Turnbull

Partner in Rocket Science VFX

I need someone with strong interpersonal skills and good creative who can think on the fly and improvise. Naturally you came to mind.
