At the time that Adrian wrote this post, did he know about Carlin yet?

I did, actually. Interesting that I didn’t mention him at all in the course of the two days following his email to us. I think it really shows the level of obsession I had with trying to find a storyboard artist. A matte painter is great, but we had to get a trailer pre-vized before we could utilize a matte painter. I also distinctly remember having absolutely no hope that we would ever actually get Carlin to work for us. Heh.

Journals are cool in this way. It’s interesting to look back with hindsight and see things from both perspectives. It goes to show that you never really know what life is going to bring.
