Hi Carl,

Congratulations on getting this film out to the general public, I know it will do well for you and you deserve it cos no-one has worked harder than you.

I am looking foward to finally seeing it.

Good luck for the future, the world needs eccentrics like you... otherwise it would be one hell of a boring place!

Thanks Left Eye Dominant,
You speak from experience of my eccentricities and have lived to tell the tale. In the Native American tongue, you have earned your name wisely Left Eye Dominant, so go on in this world and produce your music you have earned the rights of passage.

Highly recommend taking a jump to his web page and listen to his music, very good.

Can't wait to hear what you produce next, then again I want you to do the music for my horror, by the time I start it you will be that well known I will not be able to afford you, need verbal agreement infront of all the people who visit this site that you will do the music for movie.

Robert DeNiro's Eyes

well as this is the long journey thread!

It started for me in 1989, meeting Carl and his vision of WTSOTT.

I first seen his work on this while visiting his home and seeing a very large model tree being built in his spare bedroom, his ideas were way beyond his budget but I knew if anyone could do this Carl could.

His introduction to computers opened his eyes to a future that Im sure even the main movie directors hadn't even seen yet.

I remember working hours on end on some very early title sequences, and Carl turning up with my daily suger intake to help me keep working on it. shame things have moved on in the last 16 years or so, looking back I think they were pretty good, in a higher res they would have matched anything like Lord Of The Rings.

Seeing how it has developed, especially in the CGI is very interesting for me, as I wonder if I had not introduced Carl to CGI, what direction would the movie taken? Although probably would have ended up the same, but just a little later I think (1 year?)

What do you think Carl?

Carl B Harrison · If it had not been for you.

Hi RDE.
Good name by the way, cos you do look like Robert De Niro only a lot younger.
If it had not been for you...

I do think things would have gone differently, you introduced me to the Imiga and changed my life. I use a Mac now but it still can't do much more that the Imigas did, only it's faster. Yes using Light wave changed the whole perspective on the movie and seeing what you were doing long before anyone, really did inspire me to push foward and really get stuck into the project. As you know it was not all plain sailing and I was fighting to shoot the movie but at the same time learn how to us Light wave and a computer, which was alien to me. Once I had grasped the basics I lept in and bought several of the things with grafics cards and TV cards and all kinds which were set up by thet illusive composer Left Eye Dominant, before he took off to Italy.
RDE was there when I needed him, as a major problem to me was insignificant to him and it was sorted out. Not to leave anyone out Nige helped a lot , if he reads this thanks Nige.
RDE did more than just help with the computor work though and I think he could tell you some very funny and harrowing things he did, in the call of duty(other than eye up the female assistants on the shoot), they were very nice I must say, any hoo back to thread, health and saftey would have had a nightmare if they saw what RDE was doing.

In all he has been a very good friend and I hope we continue to be friends for the rest of my existence and beyond.

Here's to RDE. XXX

Thanks Carl,

Happy to have been of assistance..

On a slightly pedantic note though, it was your Amigas that I spent most of the time keeping running and fixing for you. No idea what an Imiga is Wink

Am a bit disspointed I didn't get the opportunity to eye up the female assistants.[/b]

Robert DeNiro's Eyes

Yes Carl, I can remember being in a pool of sprinkled water holding a rather large spot lamp...!!!

What happened to the female assistants, did they keep in touch? Sue, where are you?

Im glad I was there in the early days and would love to have added more, but hey thats life I suppose.

Yep the Amiga, those were the days, nothing beats Deluxe Paint, I dont think. I got Imagine and Lightwave on the PC but lost interest years ago, unfortunatly. Still love to see CGI though as you might guess.

BTW, I remember the first time you seen some of my storyboards done on the Atari ST, there was a twinkle in your eye then, and I seen your brain go into overdrive with the possibiltys of computers and there use to you..

Carl B Harrison

For Nige
That's what I nicknamed mine, did I not tell you.

Also not to be pedantic you do not spell lacklustre as you did. In your defence, we all make mistakes.
No good changing it now, we've all seen your spelling errors and we will know if you do. Ha Ha....................... That'l lurn yoou.
