I had been working as a VFX model maker, and a set designer/art director friend asked if I'd like to get into the art department*. He squired me around town and introduced me to a bunch of production designers, and Dante Ferretti hired me onto a show at Carolco.

Thanks, everybody. I haven't looked forward to starting a show this much, in quite a while.



*Art departments are usually air-conditioned and relatively free of gene-lethal toxic chemical crapola, so I said 'yes.'

[Sad Max]

Thanks!

Alas the whole crew is crazy-busy from top to bottom, and security is tighter than a drum (the first thing you see walking into the Playa facility, is a huge red-and-black sign promising dire consequences if you so much as snap a photograph, and for the first time in my career I have been issued a photo ID with moving parts...)

There are some designers with whom I work often, who are much more laid back about access. Next time I'm working with one of them, I will float having you come in. Most of them are publicity-hounds who will probably be eager to accommodate you.
