I helped develop and deploy the color standard which starts from an artists CRT (yes, they *still* use CRTs for color animation) and ends on your local theater's projector. Most major animation studios and even post production houses use these techniques and my code to maintain such consistency.

You know, I tired to let it pass, but it didn't work. Truthfully, I don't believe you AT ALL. Please tell me how you "developed and deployed" a "color standard"??
Also, what type of CRT monitors do you work with? Because, personally, since I helped design NVIDIA's Geforce 8800, I found CRT's quite limiting, since they are analog and use VGA inputs.
I don't think what you are saying is truth, and you might be faking it.

I developed the procedures and applications that allow studios to keep their white balance in the D6500 whitespace as defined by NTSC for the temperature of white measured in kelvin.
I started in the field when SGI monitors were the norm, 20D11, 20W11 (the widescreen model of a 20D11), 4011P, 5411 (Sony tube) to most high end 21 inch monitors have been in my test lab. HP (1120, 1130)CRT's are big mainstay currently and will be used for a number of years, some SGI's are still out there but are fading out fast. They take alot of abuse and not only does a monitor need to be able to be adjusted into the correct colorspace it needs to take the constant adjustment, which at the most can be weekly, at the least monthly.
I have seen thousands or models of all types over the years and still believe 100% they are styrene models.

The move comes after Disney laid off hundreds of animators earlier this year and slashed the salaries remaining animators by up to 50%.
The tolerances for color temperature have to be so precise that they only allow for a +/- .02% of variation before some of the most talented animation directors, etc can tell the difference. And believe me they can!

Soloist, excuse me for questioning everything, it is a habit of mine. Sometimes I ask people questions, using specially designed questions, that extract just enough information consciously, to help subconsciously answer the REAL questions.

BitRaiser, don't ever tell me what to do. I am not arguing with anybody. You Sir, are reading the words incorrectly.
I was simply asking him direct questions about his qualifications and his conclusion that these are models. PLEASE stay on topic, and stop making this about "me and him". It's about his POST! It is not rude to question someones "qualifications" when they claim they have them.
Stop trying to be a moderator.

Now, concerning our latest uber-poster, Soloist. Upon initial reading, I really did think we had Isaac or his ghost writer popping in here.

...does that mean you question your very own credentials??
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that can detect that subconscious screaming from pjslug's and Soloist's posts.
p.s. not everyone can be good an actor/actress
