#MIRAGE FX
Sanford…
Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. My "regular job" is as
audio visual mgr. for the Miami Beach Convention Center. We are
just wraping up the International Assoc. of Amusement Parks and
Attractions convention, I did over 110 hours this week and pretty
close to that last week so I've been kinda out of touch. I wish I
didn't have to do this newsletter around ay "work" but, for now ,
ther is no way around it. (I'm not always this busy). As far as
"collecting all this good stuff" goes, I've yet to recieve anything
from anybody (people say that they're working on it though), I wish I
had a secretary, maybe sometime soon I'll have to find one, if I ever
start getting "A continuous stream of IPAS stuff" My background…..
As a kid (I'm now 33) all I wanted to do was be a film director, (like
Stanley Kubrick). My first job was as an asst. animator at a public
TV station, Doing Claymation type stuff. From there I started working
on feature films and commercials doing whatever work I could get. I
started as a production asst. and went to special effects, (I love
blowing thigs up 🙂 ) I also started doing film sound which landed me
a job in a recording studio where I met some musicians. Soon I too
became a musician (in addition to a recording engr.) I was involved
in over 10 "Fanzines" mostly about new music / punkrock /avant garde
art and a few other things (this is my publishing experience), I
haven't uploaded anything yet But I know I should, so I will soon. I
definitetly want to put all the info in a collection of some kind.
(CD-ROM?) I want this newsletter to be a true group project; all of
us trading info and helping one another broaden our 3D horizons. I
know that the ASOFT forum is doing that already but the newsletter
format will probably be a better way for the information NOT TO GET
LOST. I would like to hear your thoughts on anything I've said here
Once again, please forgive me for not getting bactk to you in a timely
manner, I'm truly sorry, you deserve better.
See ya' soon (I Hope 😉 )
-David (aka Mr. Publisher)
PS. As far a length of article goes, since this is an "electronic"
newsletter, length is not as important as it would be if it were for
a hard copy magazine. If it is VERY long then i may , with the
permission of the author, split it up into two or more parts. right
now the format isn't totally fixed, I'll see what gets sent in before
I decide on how to put it together (I have some ideas ) I would still
very much like to print an Animation Master article by you, I hope
you're still considering it.
