It is with sorrow that I announce that Rand Worrell, who did some very nice animation for us for Total Tape Integration, died of AIDS on Tuesday, October 17th. Our tape was his last animation project. Rand was one of the top animators working on the Mac platform, and he pioneered complex and exacting animations of organic life forms. He has worked on several movies and his work is featured by both Electric Image Animation Systems and FormZ 3-D modeling systems as examples of the best that can be done with their systems. He was recently featured in Computer Graphics World, and has been published in computer magazines frequently. At the time he first became ill he was entertaining offers from BOTH Disney and Industrial Light and Magic -- not a small accomplishment! During his last months of illness he got much enjoyment from seeing TLTCTC (moments of pleasure was his favourite) and the finished Total Tape Integration project. Rand and I have been close for 20 years, and my life will be very different without him. Thanks to those Love Hounds who have been so supportive. I have really appreciated your affection.
