Ume
Is the name of othe Top Japanese executive who we entertained yesterday, Friday.
First my old boss and I hoped into the company Sequia and sped over to pick up 3 execs from Japan. They were perfect, as if they steped out of a movie. One of them Matzu, was skinny and dorky with an excitedly timid smile on his face, and the Michael Jackson flood pants going. The other, his name escapes me (started with a K), was older and mostly zenlike silent. They were waiting on the last one, obviously the Alpha. He appeared in tight designer jeans and long, extreemly well kept black hair. He had gentil, small, feminie features, like a character from an anime film. That was Ume. They all had cameras around their necks. priceless.
First we went to Digital domain. Possable the best reel I have ever seen. When I said this to a creative we at lunch with, he said bitterly, "sure, when you can have the titanic sinking, and Apollo 13 taking of and New York freezeing over in your reel, it tends to impress."
I met the CEO, he said he worked for Goerge Lucas, but started his own company because they had religious differences. ("Lucus thought he was God, I didnt agree").
Then we had lunch at Napa Valley Grill, I had a raw fish sandwitch, that plegged me for the rest of the day.
We then went upstairs to Sway. Another, smaller, CG house, no Titanics there. But they did have the most amazing. wonderful. simple. breakthropugh. That is about to seriously change both vido-games and car commercials. I wish I could talk about it. WOW.
Then off to Universal Studios to watch some of the filming of "ageing" the latest Tundra spot. Huddled around kraft services. Got tended to, as the client. I like being the client, no wonder they act like this.
Then the VIP tour, I think they sent the most attractive guide they could find. As trams full \of the unimportant slithered by, we got to walk around the old sets, touch the walls and historic sets, and oogle the plane crash scene from "War of the Worlds."
Then we ate at the BB King grill.I think they enjoyed themselves. And I even think they liked me.
