The site is finally panning out. I'm getting relevant content onto the site and I actually have a super juicy interview to post soon.
My varied interests bring me to some obscure and fascinating web sites. I've been lurking at the Scifi Meshes 3D graphics website and ran across a footnote article on how to build a VFX shot. Basically the VFX Consultant for BSG seasons two and three wrote a "how-to" article about the 3D program LightWave 9. I read through his article and was instantly intrigued. He gave tiny hints that he had buckets of info to share. Naturally you develop this instinct from trying to sell cars to people. (my day job is working at a car dealership) Anyway, there are certain phrases and inflection in sentence structure that can give you clues into a persons approachability to share info. For example: I learned that the studio publicist that I was conversing with deemed me unwelcome. I could read between the lines from her well chosen very short responses. Shot responses mean "I'm busy leave me alone." We are all guilty of that in email to our friends and such. So you know what I'm talking about.
Anyway I send a really nice hello letter to Kelly Myers (he goes by Kat) and ask him if he would mind doing an interview. To my surprise he agreed. up to this point I've got the email equivalent of a "blank stare" from the crew I've asked. Oh, on a side note, Kelly is distantly related to famous Canadian actor Mike Myers, Groovy Baby, Groovy!
Kat has a lot of great behind-the-scenes info. Most of it really cool and some of it truly juicy. Too bad for you that the juicy bits will be kept for his book. I share no secrets -- *wink, wink*.
My interview with Kelly "Kat" Myers will be published on my site in the next few days. And, I might... read that... "might" share some of the juicy bits after the show is over.
So, it pays to be an Information Junkie. My head is about to explode from all of the cool stuff I just learned in the last 15 minutes.
