Truth In Advertising by Avion Films
This gem comes from my pal Henry Birdseye,who has been through the shit for me and managed to make it pleasant. I'm preserving it here at VagabondGuru.com as a reminder to all of what once was and what could still be. I remember Henry once editing a spot for me that required some difficult 3-D moves and which had a number of other technical barricades to leap, while my client sat and sketched out ideas on paper and wondered if the background should be more blue. Henry and I looked at each other knowingly, I sent the client off to kern type and we finished the damn spot. Henry pulled a nifty "Spark", think plug-in, out of his ass, tricked it into thinking it was still a free trial deal and we put that puppy to bed!
We did our fucking jobs, while many around us sought for reasons to exist. It was an odd time in my life and it would have been a living hell without Henry by my side.
Here's to the weird old days!
Please take the time to read his philosophy on life...
It begins... "The simplest personal belief I can put to you is just to be nice to people, be altruistic. We are all brothers and sisters on this planet, regardless of our coloring on the outside. If, for some reason you can't do this, eat some shit. Then die."
I heartily agree.
