FEDERAL COMPLIANCE OFFICE This scene is where Bill Gates goes to a Federal Compliance Office (like in the movie Brazil ) to pick up his little Gremmie PDA. The guy that works at the place recognizes him as do a number of the little computer machines. When the clerk says his name "Bill Gates", I'd like for all the little machines to stick their heads or antenna out of their little shelves to look at him. (All of the computers think that Bill Gates is their father). There will be a little chorus of tiny voices saying "Father" once they recognise him. Should be very creepy and cool.

Here's the reverse on John Glover. As you can see the lighting is a tight volumetric which is indicated to be the reflected glow from the small desk lamp. It shouldn't influence the background much but you don't want to get to much directional from the BG element that would contaminate the shot.

David, I really love the design and can't wait to see what it looks like with some texture. Keep in mind that CLARK (the guy in the chair) reaches up to the left to get the little robot. Maybe if you flipped the design it might work with the action better. I think that the layered "Matrix meets Brazil" look will be great.

I comped a background from a local electronics store into the shot for the promo but I'm holding off on the comp until your shot is built. This is going to be great.

It just keeps getting better!
