Thank you. If I had said that there would be more controversy.
Here's a short list. Perhaps it will help.
I HAVE really REALLY had to bite my tongue over the years and NOT release my
IMDB info because I sincerely felt it was NOT worth it. Just for a prick.
Davis doesn't recall my post from years ago where I in fact DID lay out my
credits over 40 feature films. Starting with
Die Hard
AlienIII (for this feature my name was submitted to the Academy for
technical achievement. I still get those letters every year)
Batman Returns
The Hunt for Red October
Vibes
PeeWee's Big Adventure
Last Action Hero
CliffHanger
Ghost
Date With an Angel
Predator
Masters of the Universe
The Mask..
And more... so many more .. Including a HOST of national, commercials like
Magnavox, Sprint, United Airlines.. Ride films..
Recently completed a shot or two for the next Dustin Hoffman film on its way
out.. Mr Magoriums Magic Emporium.
Endless corporate video crap I have done.. It is irrelevant. HP. Farichild.
TI . The least creative work I can think of.
Video games I contributed to with code, graphics, music.. From Atari to
Broderbund to THQ
Records and audio work I have done since 1978 when I recorded horns for "The
Body Snatchers" at the beginning of my work as a recording engineer in some
of the worlds most elite facilities in the world.
That's where I met my wife singing with the Pointers Sisters on a Rick
James recording. She tells me all she did was sing.
I was pretty skinny then. But the people I worked with/for included
Prince (first album)
Fleetwood Mac
Tower of Power
Santana
Steve Stills (first class asshole)
Rick Nelson (RIP)
Hoyt Axton
Bob Marley
John Fogerty
so many I can not remember. It all happened before my kids were born..
Now that list does NOT mention the extensive hardware and software work I
have done.
Alesis Andromeda! (still selling.. go see it my crew. my code)
Air Force Special Forces AC130 Gunship display system
B1B Display system
C17 Display
Australian Land Assault Vehicle.
I never really set out to do the military stuff.. but it is cool! And I am
honored
Last year I developed the worlds smallest body worn EKG recorder
I also developed the compiler and development system for a new audio FX dsp
chip which is making its way into just about every fx box and amp company
anywhere.
I have just been awarded the contract for CGI for a 13 part TV series. I'll
be busy.
All from the comfort of my own office.
Even with all of this there are many people who know a lot more about a lot
of things than I do just in this NG. McCall, Crowley, Spex,
But not Bill Davis. Sorry.
My name is not important.
It is nappy.
