Having never met Rob Sadler's father, I can't say the same thing......but I bet he does! Anyway, I wasn't able to get photos of Brian Foster, our supervisor and "super genius" when it comes to all things Maya and animation related in general. These guys are all excellent to work with and I've learned a lot from them!
Another guy who was on the crew was Armen Melkonian, who used to work at Dreamworks. I didn't get a photo of him, but he snapped this photo of me with my camera when I wasn't paying attention. Jennifer Mackie and he were discussing digital cameras, so I showed them mine. Jennifer is a young girl from Scotland who was also on the crew and she really knows her stuff !
We were really down to the crunch, because there were last minute story changes and whole sequences that hadn't gotten through storyboarding yet....which of course are vital to laying out a film. Our department was SUPPOSED to be finished May 30th, but it took two more weeks to reach our goal.After it was over and we were waiting for approval on the final sequences......I quickly modelled (out of primitive polygons) this little scene of what I felt I was in need of. As you can see, I'm not a modeller, but I can do some basic stuff. Okay....maybe sub-basic. I even animated the bottle pouring and then the olive jumping into the glass...............okay.........so I was tired.

Such happy looking gents! Tell them I said hello if you can wake them up!!
Hey Suzanne! I haven't seen Rob, Rob or Armen in ages! Please say 'hi' for me! JVB
You know, when I was working with these guys on Chop Socky Chooks, the
layout department was nicknamed the Geriatric department. You were there too Willy! I was beginning to worry that layout was a dying art....but now there's a young girl in her twenties named Jennifer who has joined the group. Maybe there's hope yet!
I will definitely say Hi to these guys for you all. I should see them soon at the private screening of the film that's coming up.
