Moviescope magazine (2011) featured Jason’s approach to special effects for their Insider’s POV article "The are of the invisible":

''Special effects are about adding detail that audiences are going to appreciate subconsciously just as much as giving them eye-popping spectacle. I try to create a heightened reality that sits seamlessly within the environment and genre of the film. This requires a level of attention to detail that is often not in the script, but the payoff is that physical effects can create unique and unexpected results by providing atmosphere and dimension''.
