>> Unfortunately, a couple of deserving folks were arbitrarily cut from >> MetroLight's credit list by Paramount without consulting us. So for the >> record I want to state that Ralph Frantz (forum regular) was a senior >> animator on the film… 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
