Carol Young • VFX Post Supervisor, Lead Compositor, Color Design.

It is my privilege to recommend Rosella Lucherino for employment. As a member of the Compositing department at KC POP Quiz, and Stereoscopic Compositing team at Sassoon Film Design, Rosella demonstrated excellent skills needed for the compositing phase of production. I have had the pleasure of working with Rosella two times over the last few years and each time she has been a valuable member of each team. The work at KC POP Quiz required that over the course of 4 months, the compositing department to pull together a team to create a server, organize and track footage, coordinate with Editors and deliver 144 episodes requiring, color correction, roto, tracking and compositing. At Sassoon Film Design the team had the added difficulty of finial compositing and tracking and Paint back making original 2D films into a 3D experience was required. Rosella contributions were invaluable to both teams. Her talents with paint back, matting, rotoscoping and tracking were essential to the job as well as her helping and training new hires. Rosella has excellent work ethics and commitment to a project. She is quick to learn new skills and can see and understand what area needs attention and where she can help. Her flexibility and response to last minute changes and her desire to pitch in on deliverables even if not in her intended scope shows outstanding teamwork and dedication to the job. Rosella would be a great addition to any company.

Josh Gilchrist • Associate Producer, Live Action Development.

Rosella was a fantastic addition to our post production team. She was an extremely dedicated worker and always brought the best attitude. Rosella was a critical part of our VFX team and was extremely adaptable to our ever changing needs and goals. She would be an amazing asset to any team lucky enough to have her. She has amazing work ethic and is a delight to work with. Highly recommended!

Ociel Ogalde • Creative Director and Graphic Designer.

Rosella is a well rounded graphic designer able to take on a wide range of projects. During my time as a creative director for LBI Media she played a key role supporting the Sales, Marketing and Promotions department creating high quality graphics such as web banners, power point presentations, flyers, posters, upfront and marketing collateral. Rosella is able to work on a fast paced environment with quick turnarounds always providing solutions delivering assets in a timely manner. She is very easy to work with, a team player and very knowledgeable about the latest graphic design trends.

Rosella is a very hard working 2D artist. She can juggle many projects at a time while still being incredibly fast to ensure she meets her deadlines. All of that, and a wonderful person who manages to stay positive no matter how stressful the day. She's extremely loyal, dedicated and is eager to enhance her skills. Rosella is an asset to any creative department.

I found Rosella to be a self-starter, and qualified to do many aspects of Production Art for Video and Interactive media.

Rosella is brilliant at what she does. She listens closely to what the client wants and adds her own magic touch to make the entire piece pop. If you are looking for a graphic artist with extraordinary talent and integrity, you would be hard pressed to find someone as special as Rosella.

Rosa Farre • Adjunct Lecturer at California State University, Fullerton.

I would like to write a few words of recommendation for Rosella Lucherino. She was one of the students at the Art Institute where she developed her portfolio pieces under our direct supervision. Rosella always showed great understanding of her line of work, was always eager to go beyond what was required and was also eager to take advice from instructors. She is a fast learner, good communicator and very pleasant to work with.
