Hello Robh!

It has been a long time! I hope you are doing well.

Thank you for commenting on this posting. Phil Kellison’s contribution to the film industry will probably never be fully recognized. It is a honor to pass on a bit of his knowledge.

Best wishes!

I remember this ride. I went on it when I was a little kid. It was in 1988 and it was awesome. It scared me at the time for some reason lol !

Thanks, billie!

Wowsers, all that work for that short lil’ snip! Well, ya cut a great rug with that matte edge, David! I know the feeling when ya see something like that. How am I gonna “fix” that?! But lets’ face it, that’s the “kick,” makin’ “challenges” like that work, eh.

If anybody could do it, well, everybody would be doin’ it. But neither are the case. So, well done, my friend!

Glad to hear all is well with you!

peace | deg

Hello billie!

Wow! Thank you!

Dale aka Gold Cylon and I have been looking for it.

I have not seen this in almost 30 years! Terrific find!

Now that I see it again, it is so short that the effects animation I spent time doing is virtually invisible. Of course when we were compositing it, we had no indication of its final edit length. ;^)

Best wishes,

David

Hi Rick,

I remembr Phil talking about that, too! Phil loved steam engines, victorian devices, lighter-than-air airships and ancient things like castles.

Many interests!

DEG!!!

Hello again! I’m glad you liked the post.

I couldn’t really describe the sinking feeling I had when I looked at that “dancing” matte edge. I had to come up with something! :^0

Things are well! Good wishes to you, too!
