Martin,
I just want to say that although I was majorly disapointed at not seeing my
name in the film credits or the memento brochure handed out at the screening
that the experience as a whole will always be a positive one for me.
Thanks for the kind words.
I've never worked in a better production environment as Metrolight as
everyone there was great. I know it was not anyones fault there. Tell
Bernice thanks for the phone call and Dobie's (sp?) involvement in finding
out what happened. A credit on the video, if thats at all possible, would
be cool.
THAT'S SHOW BIS!
Anyway… I did indeed enjoy the show (albiet a bit violent), and there is
nothing to compare to seeing your work on the BIG SCREEN. Too bad my big
phone booth scene was cut from the movie, but seeing it on the HBO "Making
of Virtuosity" was cool.
So everyone should go see the movie, and be proud that _YES_ the software
that we all love and have been so deeply involved in has contributed such a
major portion of the CG/special effects in this Major Motion Picture.
Indeed GaryY / Yost Group, Autodesk, Metrolight and everyone who uses 3D
Studio should be proud, I am!
Ralph
