[net.graphics] Digital Productions was bought out.

This is just a short follow up to my earlier request for info. A number of
people have responded already (thank you all). One name that has come up
a number of times is Digital Productions. They, along with Abel Image
Research, have just been bought out by Omnibus Inc. (a canadian firm, I 
believe). The resulting company, Omnibus and Abel Simulations, I've 
already sent a copy of my resume. (Beats me why they didn't keep the
Digital Productions in their name, out of the three of them thats the
one that I know best.)

There was a rumor floating around Siggraph '86 that Gary Demos (and
maybe John Whitney Jr. as well) had left and were planning on starting a
new comapny. Omnibus sort of confirmed this (they didn't deny that he had
left) but weren't willing to tell me how to contact a possible competitor.
If anybody out there in netland has any idea of how these men might be
reached, I am VERY interested in applying to them.

Thanx for all the help so far, and keep those cards and letters coming!

You can keep up with Demos and Whitney Jr.'s new venture and Omnibus by
reading the legal section in your newspaper.  According to an article
in the Globe and Mail a few weeks ago, the two are sueing and counter-
suing each other.  The best preparation for computer animation seems to
be a law degree.
