I also would like to show him the mission reel, PCH, the tar pits . and Pasadena. although don’t be suprised if i take a series on just trains and industry of LA.. the Oil pumps in the middle of the city. and the refineries :P

BUT . Flatt Glen Did visit DD today :)

DD was founded in 1993 by Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron, visual effects pioneer Stan Winston and former Industrial Light + Magic executive Scott Ross, Curently . we are a Private Company , Digital Domain was purchased by an affiliate of Wyndcrest Holdings, LLC, an investment firm whose principals include Wyndcrest founder John Textor, director Michael Bay, former Microsoft executive Carl Stork(we run 90% linux..i always find this amusing), former NFL player and sports television commentator Dan Marino, and Jonathan Teaford.
our Current Bosses are doing a great job honestly. the state of CA is a volatile place to do business , we are looking at difficult times for ALL CA businesses .

here are the first few pictures ,

Image
Flatt Glenn at the entrance to features building in the warehouse where i work .

here he is next to the “Whale”

Image
the little guy wanted to pretend he was king kong , and got up on the buildings .

Image
the “whale” is a sculpture that is a permanent part of our building and used as the main conference room

these are some pictures from the rolling stones photo tour that had last May,
occasionally they open up the studio for Art shows and events .

- the “whale” designed by Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry also designed another famous land mark that Flatt Glenn will be visiting latter this week .
the Walt Disney Concert hall in down town Los Angeles.

after walking thru the belly of the whale .( it really does look like gutted fish on the inside , out side it’s shingled with aluminum siding that looks like scales .. like a giant fish body…. it’s really fun to run your finger along too because it makes neat noises ) Flatt Glenn was excited to see a small titanic..
Image

I took him back too see the set where “jack” and Rose” stood on the bow and the green screen stages , but i need to talk to OPs about getting photos in the part of the studio since it’s storage and a bit of a “hard hat ” area .

Image
the building to the left are practicals from the 5th Element .

Image

Image

this is the big blue whale….( it’s become whale themed week )

i have a better picture coming but it will require some photoshopping to get the whole building in the shot . it’s HUGE.

Image

WHALE

We stopped in Buckhorn to get some farm fresh CA fruit.

Image

we then headed up to Santa Barbra a to get a picture by the big fig tree. Flatt heard” fig newton.. ” and was a tad disappointed , so he threw a bit of a hissy fit with Matthew . he behaved when we told him we’d buy him salt water taffy .

COMMENTARY:

Come on, who’s surprised? The White House-engineered photo-op of low-flying Air Force aircraft that caused terror in New York City this week epitomizes the Age of Obama. What better way to mark 100 days in office than with an appalling exercise in pointless taxpayer-funded stagecraft?

The superficiality, the unseriousness, the hubris, the obliviousness to post-Sept. 11 realities: They were trademarks of the Obama campaign, and they are the tattoos on his governance.

He never leaves home without his teleprompter. All the Obama world’s a stage. Or a world ready to be staged.

So is it any wonder he would staff his White House military office with a clueless paper pusher who saw nothing wrong with spending inordinate government resources – and re-creating Sept. 11 havoc – to update Air Force One publicity shots? And who planned, believe it or not, to do the same in the District next month, where the Sept. 11, 2001, jihadists murdered 53 passengers and six crew members onboard American Airlines Flight 77, and 125 military and civilian personnel inside the Pentagon? All for some publicity shots.
