Random Scrap:

Barry's office was an Apple computer, big screen, a lamp that would turn itself off or on with a touch. Three rooms. A living room with a couch, old radio set and a painting. A kitchen with mice, those were the actors. Smell everywhere. In the adjacent room there was another room where Fang Choi would work on his graphic design. At the beginning there was another guy. I once gave him a ride back to Downtown Los Angeles in Barry's Toyota SUV. My job was to come every evening and design new Flash animations. To create an interactive website that would bring Barry's work to the world. He was a former commercial director, a member of Director's guild. His neck was damaged in a helicopter crash while filming. There were fish flying in every part of the animation. And mice. And mannequins with voice overs and music mostly done by Barry. There were also some clips that were more structured. There were a few ideas. Create a mannequin that responds to your comment, play TV programs that would respond to your mood (intuitive TV) and mod-u-larity, a website to create movies. And we could write you a personal symphony.
