Hi Harry, thanks for taking few time to answer my few questions.

Paul Franklin and the Dneg’s team on Inception just won the Oscar for the best VFX. What is your first reaction after the announce of the result ?

I was thrilled to see Mike Chambers, up on the stage for the Oscar He was a VFX producer on “Inception”. Very exciting! I had worked with him for ten years at Boss Film many years ago, as well as, at Digital Domain on “True Lies”. “Inception” well deserve the Oscar!
