Subject: RE: PUPT: Real To Life construction or why hire one designer when you can hire a whole shop?


Hi Liz!

Hey - we do animatronics (and at great rates I might add - mostly because of the Canadian dollar). We'd love to bid on your Mech work if you are interested. We're actually building an animatronic computer control system right now (though you might not need something that advanced) for a film in 2003 and we'd love to have a project to try it out on. We can do work here or on site in the US whichever works best for the purposes of the project.

By the way, had a guy who wanted some "Lion King-esque" puppets call us from PA. The schedule conflicted with some TV work but I suggested Renaissance Artist based on the photos you sent and gave him your number. Also, FYI nothing much seems to have come from the Captain Jack thing after all - ah well, c'est la vive.

Cheers,

Andrew

P.S. - Congrats on the new studio space! Hope yours is working out better than ours (don't ask!!)
