Jim Thacker is a Editor, CG Channel at CG Channel. He possess expertise in editing, visual effects, video games, animation, video and 18 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Jim is what every writer and journalist should be. Clever, reliable, broad, connected… and likable. I had the tremendous fortune of using Jim as a contributor for my transmedia blog JawboneTV on several occasions over a two-year period. Not only were his pieces both intelligently crafted and easily digested, but he was also able to wonderfully represent the blog at several live events while producing coverage. I’d work with him again and again. So should you." and "I don't know whether Jim is aware of just how much I've learned from him over the decade-plus that I've known him, but it's true. Because of him I understand the phrase "attention to detail", and why high production values, personal integrity and in-depth understanding of the subject matter are so vital to the production of top-notch magazines. Beyond that, Jim is a fantastic writer. I'm certain he could write 2,000 words about beige paint drying and make it entertaining and oddly enlightening. I'm glad to have worked for Jim and to have known him personally for all these years, and I have no qualms about recommending him to others."
