Those blue buildings might work for my futuristic scenes I'm working on for the next Time-Rider.  __________________

Writers Guild Makes Agreement with Spyglass Entertainment
Firm Behind The Sixth Sense, 27 Dresses Gets Deal
By Linda Haugsted -- Multichannel News, 1/16/2008 12:43:00 PM
The Writers Guild of America has negotiated a contract agreement with another independent producer, this time with the entertainment company which has produced The Sixth Sense and, currently, 27 Dresses.
The deal was struck with Spyglass Entertainment, founded by industry veterans Roger Birnbaum and Gary Barber. The parties said the agreement is similar to the pacts forged with Worldwide Pants and United Artists and address compensation for new media.
"Spyglass Entertainment can now work with the most talented writers in the business -- members of the Writers Guild," said WGA presidents Patric Verrone and Michael Winship in a joint statement.

Umm...is this good or bad for us??
AMPTP Makes Deal with DGA, High-Fives All Around!
Finally, finally, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Directors Guild of America shook hands and made a deal today. After days of waiting at the edge of their seats, Hollywood observers can sit back with a sigh of relief.
In a joint statement from the CEOs of the AMPTP and the DGA, the deal allows the "industry's creative talent ... [to] now participate financially in every emerging area of new media." The CEOs went on to add that "The agreement demonstrates beyond any doubt that our industry's producers are willing and able to work with the creators of entertainment content to establish fair and flexible rules for this fast-changing marketplace."
Following that statment, AMPTP prez Nick Counter gave himself a pat on the back and a big high-five to his new DGA besties on getting through such a tough deal. In a statement, he said "Of the 307 labor agreements the AMPTP has negotiated since 1982, this new DGA-AMPTP pact surely dealt with some of the most challenging issues we've ever faced ... In the end though," he continued, "both parties were determined to focus on the core issues that are most important to all of us, and the result is an agreement that breaks important new ground for our entire industry."
The powers that be also invited the WGA to engage in similar types of talks that they had to try and come to an agreement. This is one great step for Hollywood ... but will the quick diplomacy have any impact on the WGA's efforts? Does this put more pressure on Guild prez Patric Verrone and other negotiators to shake on it — and quick? — Anna Dimond.

Sounds good. I wish they would have said plainly that the strike is over or not completely. __________________

Quote: To give you an idea of how large this building is, and the hard work for detail... it's 11.5 inches tall and only 2 1/4 by 2 1/4 inches square. So it's pretty tiny. Amazing work Bob!!! The trees and planter boxes really set the building off, looks great!!   __________________The Bible is so powerful. It's not to be left on your shelf.

I had no idea these bldgs. were that small. Do you work with magnifiers? I can recall seeing somemhere a "Craft magnifyer-frame" worn around the neck, but I think it might hamper your getting as close as you need to be. How do you manage? Some tools for small scale work i suppose, and maybe glasses at 3.00 ? This would all give me a headache from hell. i get migraines. i could never do what you do and be charming enuff to live with. Congrats on your control! That is amazing work!

I like the little people it gives a size perspective. One I could use for adding people to the background for time-rider shots. __________________

Do you glue the little figures down? I can imagine a little wind would just blow them away. Right? They must be hard to deal with. Do they ever run away Bad little fellows.
That reminds me of a song! "Short People" ( by Randy Newman ,who also wrote the music for Toy Story)
You can hear it on You Tube if you don't know it.

*Whistles* I bet it is an interesting job trying to get in to clean/dust that set-up!!  __________________The Bible is so powerful. It's not to be left on your shelf. It's to outline even the simplest scriptures that can mean so much in building yourself up.

I hope some of you watched American Gladiator tonight. It is good they brought the show back, I think. But it is so unfair. The opposition is toooooo big in comparison with the contestants, don't you think? One guy( is 6 feet 9 and they weighed close to or more than 200 pounds and 2nites contestants were weighing about 165, one was 6 foot and the other guy was 5 foot 9. They were outmatched and it amazing they were not squashed dead! They had the girls too and they were against Amazon ugly "women" who sort of looked like females--but all buff fat and muscular, UGGH! I say, get rid of the Amazonians and have them go learn to dance or how to get pregnant, and match physically a little better the guys so it isn't so slanted toward the huge men winning against the ave. sized men. Yet the 5'9 guy was really good and unseated one of the Hulk like guys who were former winners.) Did anyone catch the show 2nite?
Well, I like the show cause it reminds a little of Smallville action-- But this is real.
And how about those UFO's in Texas???? How cool is that?
