i got this comment from a client today

It was considered inappropriate to have tall buildings and certainly not aeroplanes and tall buildings following the Sept 11th atrocities.

I flew back from holiday about a week after it happned

there were no in flight mags as they had a pic of WTC and no news was shown.
Just imagine, whole goddamn plane in a panic when they show the news.
Interestingly, i was also on a flight AgES ago with lots of Muslims on. Got to the time they had to pray and they all went to the back of the plane at the same time.
Stewards etc went mental, as the plane tipped up and we all flew out of...ok, that didn't happen, but they were a bit worried tho.

mind you... wher are you?

in a shed? It's always inappropriate to have tall buildings ina shed. No wonder your clients bought it up.

i also got this

The Services photo is inappropriate and potentially offensive to some. Please would you change it.

I'll leave that to your imagination.

genius.

I like that comment. And my imagination :)
Did you ever see that huge list of client comments on umm, dreamless i think it was. Such a great thread.

(

whats dreamless then?

this is also a sinister comment if you let your imagination go:

the pause should only have been a few seconds! During this wait I downloaded a 1Mb file in about 30 seconds

curses - all changed

it's here but it's the same as Praystation at the mo - kinda mathmatical/beautiful flash stuff - I'm actually (yeah right) really busy at the mo - if the m/board is still there I don't have time to find it. but it could be. If you're a designer type you might like it for the umm, you know, design, like. But I guess you've seen Praystation already. Joshua Davis's stuff...

was there a context?

(nic, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 4:59, archived)

context

yeah, just imagery on a web site.

(

monkeon schmonkeon, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 5:01, archived)

uh oh.

not tall-buildings-and-aeroplanes.dot.com?
What are you gonna use for a picture NOW?

(

pep, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 5:03, archived)

its a business travel site

so basically, it's a similar dilemma. I'll use happy spiders from now on I think. And pandas.

so far so good

The company I work for makes images of buildings before they are built - a good %age of them are tall buildings.

eg:

Our clients _want_ pictures of tall buildings (but not necessarilly aeroplanes).

(

chthonic, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 5:56, archived)

really?

is that all your company does? I like the idea of that. D'you think you might fall on hard times now tho? Maybe people will only want small buildings from now on? Is there an equivalent that just makes pictures of bungalows?

(

maybe we should break

into that market - search about for a thatch and rose trellis renderer plugin for StudioMax.

Pity, cos with tall buildings you just build one floor and duplicate away :)

(

So you would have all the technology

To render some pictures of 1500m high rabbits, marmots and stuff in an urban setting. I've got a handy lashed up marmot fur texture..

c'mon! Tall hairy buildings.

Don't tell me there's no market for that. I just will nOT believe you.

(

ooh fun

We've got a model of most of London lying around somewhere...
evil smirk...
have to see what I can get away with.

The idea of a hairy rendering of arsenal is very tempting...

(

chthonic, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 8:33, archived)

This is the stuff

Oh yes, just bung it all at your render farm (maybe?) and make sure it does blue and pink fun fur whilst its at it. You'll get bags of respect from absolutely every one.

(

nicey, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 8:41, archived)

bags of respec'

from everyone except Nicey, who'll give you tea bags of respect, of course...
(ah hahahah, I'm SO fun..ny? Oh.)

(

pep, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 8:44, archived)

That reminds me

Whats all this pyramid bag shite. The're tetrahedrons, sort it out Brooke Bond. They should be banging on about how tetrahedrons are really strong, not making out that their tea bags somehow have got Uri Geller knife sharpening properties etc etc

(

nicey, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 8:52, archived)

but if they DID have

knife sharpening properties I would be more likely to buy them tho.
I bet Brooke Bond will sort it out after your comment tho - I think the powers that be read this board ALL the time...yeah... they know who they are.

(

pep, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 9:15, archived)

Probably

Hope so. Mind you, you'd have to be carefull where you bunged your used tea bags as they would keep sharpening stuff like your bin bags or sink top. You could get a nasty cut.

(

nicey, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 9:33, archived)

I want tea bag sharpened bin bags

I could carry them as a weapon round the hood where I live.
have to b careful at home tho. You're right. You could have someones eye out if you weren't careful

(

pep, Wed 3 Oct 2001, 9:57, archived)

You wouldn't

be able to carry them on planes if they sharpened things. I wouldn't fancy flying with Nicey if he couldn't have his tea.

Good point love

Cause I always take my own tea bags to America, and typically they are PG Tips. So yes it is a good thing. Getting a nice of tea in America starts by bringing your own tea bags and ends by ordering boiling water. They don't like or understand it but I'm not keen on their slices of lemon so we are quits.

just look at that hairy arsenal

c'mon... you can't be that busy now surely...
