Hey everyone,
After a long absence I figure I’d just let you guys know that I have been busy finishing school, which is code for doing non-design, non-animation crap and being bored out of my mind…but now I’m done, which means I can finally put my mind to the things I enjoy: editing, designing, animating, fixing computers, and riding roller coasters.
I also have a new little nugget to share. This piece has an elaborate story of deceit behind it. Unfortunately, the story is so boring that it isn’t even worth telling. The only way I can sum it up is I was contracted by a guy (not to be named) to do a poster for a movie called “good time max”. I worked on it, constantly getting creative feedback and being promised a check afterwards (which I didn’t care, I liked the guy and hoped to work more with him and his colleagues). Unfortunately, a horrible rumor about him had been spread and he then proceeded to blame me for spreading it, without any thought to the source, nor without asking me for my own personal feedback and “my side of the story”. I was crushed that a “professional” (his professionalism in question to me, hence the quotes) I looked up to wouldn’t even give me an open ear, much less a chance to tell my side of the story. Needless to say we aren’t speaking and I haven’t been paid a dime for my work.
Bottom line: don’t do work till the check clears…I’m sorry you guys had to hear about it, and I wish it weren’t true, but it is…sorry it is watermarked, the watermarks will be lifted when payment is made in full…
As far as the movie, it’s been done before…if you wanna see good franco work, just wait for pineapple express to be released, or go buy freaks and geeks on dvd…
I’m also sorry if I sound like I’ve been ranting, this is the only way I feel I can fight back against the lies…if wrongs are righted and apologies are made (which I hope they are) I will make sure to make a note about them here…it’s the professional thing to do…
