Background
On April 14th, 2002, we had the privilege of hosting a member of the Galaxy Rangers production team in an IRC-chat session, David Rosler. David worked as a storyboard artist and character designer when the project was being produced. Now running his own company, David stumbled across Betamountain.org a short time ago and contacted us about spending some time looking back down memory lane.
|
A really personable guy, David spent 2 1/2 hours of our questions and insane IRC abuse. You, however, don't have to weather that and instead you'll get to read a nice streamlined interview style posting. For you purists out there, David gave the approval for the edit. Besides, if you were there, you'd have a chat log of your own ;)
Update (2017): You can find David these days over at his website http://www.davidrosler.com!
So, without any further ado....
