[QUOTE]Originally posted by kmart: [QB] The theory supporting the 'let's rejuvenate paramount" notion gains some credence if you buy into the idea that originally, Par was looking to buy up Abel and incorporate them as THE in-house vfx house for future paramount shows. That was the emerging model, with Universal trying to do that with Dykstra and then succeeding (for awhile) with their Hartland facility, and when Par had first acquired Magicam, it wasn't just a model shop, but a new fx technology provider(chromakey liveaction with model stages, developed by Trumbull.) So you have a potential Par sub in Abel doing opticals, you have a failing Par sub -- Magicam -- doing lots of miniatures (many of which are underdetailed, and at least one is structurally misbuilt if you go with Probert's report), plus you've got a huge cut going to Paramount's costume shop, for reusing all these ancient fabrics Fletcher dug into for all those background aliens. Places like Brick Price that were not Paramount shops got more stuff as time went on, AFTER the original places didn't always deliver the goods and time got tight. [/QB][/QUOTE]
