This encompasses traditional hand-drawn animation, title graphics, special effects and live action clean-up. Each job brings new challenges, and Mike is well versed in melding traditional animation techniques with computer technology.

Editing is the final step of writing, where the message of a piece gets locked into its final form, and Mike loves taking on that challenge. In addition, Mike has worked as assistant director, producer, even actor on documentaries, narrative features, shorts, commercials, and web series.
