Roy was top animator at Image West back in the day. He and his wife Sue visited ZFx several years ago and played with Scanimate for the first time in 30 years
A few objectionable artifacts, still needs better training!

Not perfect but better than the original 3/4"!
Comments welcome!
I finally got around to editing the video we shot when R.T. Taylor came to visit ZFx several years ago. When I worked at Image West in Hollywood, Robert Abel's studio was in the next block up on Highland Ave. We used to run into the Abel people at Jenny's snacks, a little diner literally in the alley behind both companies. R.T.'s childhood memories jive somewhat with mine, and it was a lot of fun sitting down with him and reliving our past experiences. I apologize for the lousy audio, these days you just put a big ugly microphone in front of everybody, but hey, it was before that became the norm. I hope you enjoy our reliving how we got started doing animation back in the dark ages!
