The GFG sizzle reel is totally finished except for the animation. We asked one of the senior animators at Turner (whom will remain anonymous) to help us with our open. He's very talented and very nice so we were excited when he agreed to help. However, he has not been reliable at all!! It has been a big source of frustration. He won't communicate with us. He has not returned phone calls or e-mails. Jimmy has swung by his desk and left notes on his desk to call but still nothing. So as of today, we have decided to replace him if we don't hear from him. We don't want his unprofessionalism to reflect on us to the people that are waiting to see our sizzle reel. VERY FRUSTRATING!!
Jimmy, who is Senior Sound Designer at Turner Broadcasting, worked tirelessly on the sound for GFG. He finally finished yesterday and it sounds fantastic! I'm always so impressed with all of the little nuances that he adds to really make it sound fuller. He's like a painter... you have to get the paint strokes just right and that's what he does with sound.
I have to give kudos to our editor, Shawn who has always been able to follow through for us. Even if he couldn't always work on it within our timeframe he would let us know. We SO appreciate it when people are upfront and honest about things. At least we know what to expect. He's been AWESOME!
I don't mean to leave a lesson every day but...the thought for the day is... be honest, straight forward and communicate with people. It doesn't have to be just with business, you can use that in your everyday life, as well. It works across the board and in the end...
Everyone will be happy! THANK YOU TO JIMMY & SHAWN!!
