  • I have had the great good fortune to work with Meliza Fermin on two different productions. She is a highly talented Composting Artist and DMP Artist. She is also an accomplished fine artist and a really good person, too. I fully recommend her to anyone lucky enough to work with her in any capacity.

  • Meliza is the kind of VFX artist that stands out among her peers, due to her skills as an artist and her intuition as a problem-solver. When more junior artists can gain insights and tips from accomplished and award-winning artists like Meliza, it's a great thing for our industry's continued growth.
