Quantel

yeah 83 and um and so i i was really uh scared and stuff so i really put night and day into it making money for it or doing it and it was almost in a room so i didn't spend much time at clubs and stuff like that i was just really kind of afraid to survive and saw a lot of failures and we've seen a lot more failures you know getting in new york and um And then I saw computers and it was, let's say 80, I think it was 84.

And I was turned on to something without going into the long story, but it shook my roots and it was a Quantel paint box and I was like, I just spent all night trying to match a color on a thing.

That thing just digitized on a photograph.

It was like 84 or 85.

No

... to, to go back to what we were talking about way early in the, in the, the last episode in the ear- in those Quantel days, 'cause I, I love my Quantel 'cause it was so interactive-

[laughs]

... that system.

You're, like, throwing clips around the desktop almost, right? And, and like we talked about, I've worked on every s- when I was at a facility, we had at, at one time we had linear suites, Avids, smokes, Avid DS, and then the Quantel, and then, uh...

So I was using, jumping between system to system to system every day, uh, depending on the job.

And I had one client that, that I go way back with.

So I'd worked with this client in every room basically [laughs] in the facility at, at one time or another.

Yeah.

Some probably Quantel thing maybe.

Um, and he was like, "You know, and I had all this idea." And then, and then he was, like, working for a while at some military contractor, um, like, just doing, like, renders or, like, doing diagrams, like, technical art for, like, missile systems and really fucked up shit.

And he was like, "A lot of it was classified and I, technically, I can't tell you about it now, but it was, like, really fucked up shit."
