Recommendations:

"She was very easy and pleasent to work with. Great colleage! Works well independently but also follows

directions well when given. Nice strong graphic style!"

— Rebecca Bang Sorensen, Production Designer, The national Danish filmschool, managed Pernille at Den Danske Filmskole

"Pernille is a very talented and motivated animation professional with strong skills in animation, design and backgrounds. She is also very personable and creates a good team spirit in the studio. I would highly recommend her for any position she may be considered for and would be delighted to work with her again."

— Tomm Moore, was Pernille's client

"Pernille and I worked together at my Graduation film "Christmas Piggy". She was the lead animator for a team of up to 9 animators. Pernille is a very, very talented animator that can turn gold out of lead - in other words she can do magic - on time. Pernille is also a very happy out going person that is happy about being a part of a team and helping and listing to her collages. I will recommend Pernille to anyone that wants a world class character animator. She contributed making my film great! - R.S. Söderström"
