OT: A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away...
I recently discovered that I am listed on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), for artistic work I did for network TV over 30 years ago. Those of you who know my real name can look me up. :-) Guess I should send them a photo and short bio to round-out the listing. I also found at least one You Tube video (so far) of work that I did. Search for "Fire Whales", lol. Kinda cool to discover, all these years later.
Is Thundaar your real name?

Chuck, I've always thought you were a bit barbaric...now I know why. I never knew you were a layout artist...and for one of my favorite shows as a 10 year old. You DO learn something new everday! Do you have any of the original cels? Ookla! Dave Bennett On Jan 29, 2012, at 11:20 AM, erikhansen@thebluezone.net wrote:

Just a bit barbaric? I'm full-blooded barbarian. Life in polite society has caused me to lose my edge, apparently.
Dave, somewhere I had a huge stack of cels, studies, sketches and general artistic "mayhem" from my studio days, but I haven't seen them in decades. If they still exist, they are in deep storage at my mother's house. I'll keep an eye out for them when the time comes for me to "go through her effects". (I did find a 12.5" full-thickness Pyrex mirror blank hiding there, over the holidays, but got lucky on that one.) Since she isn't in the house I grew up in anymore, there is also the chance that they never made the move with her, which would be sad. I thought I was thorough but moving her was a long time ago and I can't remember for sure. I was an apartment dweller back then and didn't have the room for most of my own crap. I also worked on feature-length cartoon called "Scruffy", IIRC. I just missed out on some Scooby-Doo, Rickety Rocket, and Plastic Man episodes due to date of hire. The same studio had contracts for those cartoons as well.
I found "Scruffy" on You Tube. It's in 6 parts. Here's part 6. If you advance to 9:30, you can see my name in the closing credits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzWCav2E2e8&feature=related
Yay Chuck!

I'd trade Brent credits anytime!
OTOH, I did work on a project with Nancy McKeon... (I'll keep telling myself that until the day I die, lol!)
IMDb says it was for "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982). -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Wiggins Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 6:16 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] OT: A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away...

I remember reading an old magazine (Starlog maybe) that detailed the making of this--they generated the mountains, and then started the flyby. It was so new, and taxed the hardware enough, that it took a long time (days, I believe) to even render 1 frame at a high enough resolution for film. By the time someone noticed the random fractal generator had put a peak right in the path of the camera, it was too late to be able to go back and re-render with the missing mountain. So they ended up deleting the mountain (and creating a canyon) a few seconds before the camera hits it. Dan On Jan 31, 2012, at 12:49 PM, Brent Watson wrote:
