A Facebook discussion brought up some
technology that we developed at dWi, deGraf/Wahrman, Inc, and it
sequed into a discussion of some of the talent and impact that we
had. That was then, this is now. Nevertheless, it was a good
opportunity to mention the following, repeated here, as Facebook is
even more ephemeral than a blog.
Because there was so much misunderstanding in the aftermath of dWi, it is possible that the following was not made clear.
I think that this is a good opportunity to thank everyone who was associated with deGraf/Wahrman for all their hard work. As far as I can tell, everyone who worked at dWi was amazingly talented and did incredible work under very difficult circumstances. Its hard to believe that we worked that hard in order to establish computer animation as useful for the entertainment industry, god only knows why we cared so much or why we thought we had to do our best work for clients who were, shall we say, not always appreciative of our genius. I am sorry we put people under so much pressure at the time, it was not intentional, it turned out that way. Perhaps things were a "little" out of control. You may not have been aware of how much pressure Brad and I were under.
I also think that judging by results, our alumni are without doubt very talented and did very well. Hopefully you will all continue to do well. Each of you has unique talents, remember who you are.
I think that Jwalt's joke was a very good one, it would have been all that much better if we were actually that much more talented and collaborative that we thought that gag up as a deliberate comedy routine, that would have been truly impressive. People are so sensitive, you know.
I plan to document all of your contributions on my Blog, over the next few years, if all goes well.
Anyway, thanks again.
The Facebook discussion is here. I have no idea if you will be able to see it or not.
