Lorne & Sherry
 
Does anybody know the relationship between these two?

How did you meet Sherry McKenna, with whom you co-founded Oddworld Inhabitants? What were your original visions for the company and how had these visions changed over the years with what you had learned about the game industry?

I used to see her on HBO and Entertainment Tonight specials back in the early 80’s. She was the “go to” person in computer graphics when the press was interested in a story. So I learned about her long before I knew her and long before she ever heard of me. She was a pioneering producer in visual effects and computer graphics and I was just a wanna-be at the time. Then when I was working at Rhythm & Hues in Los Angeles Sherry was a client of ours at Universal. She had a huge project for Universal Studios Florida Themepark that I was able to work on and that was when I first got to meet her. Right away, I knew she was a serious producer with amazing insights and skills. So I got to know her better and eventually helped convince her to come work at Rhythm & Hues with us. At the time, she had left Universal and was running Douglas Trumbul’s company (he did the effects for Blade Runner, Close Encounters, 2001, etc). But I convinced her that she would be able to make movies that were CG animated while at Rhythm & Hues. I was wrong, but I did end up convincing her to run Oddworld. That was the smartest thing I ever did.

He totally hits that shit.


Which is foul. She's a fat hippy. And there is no worse kind.


The smell of picculi oil and rancid fat-roll sweat will follow him all the days of his life.

If she wasn't with Lorne we probably wouldn't have the Oddworld games.

Sherry's a very nice person, Lorne is actually a lucky man.

Like a village post office, this is not worth keeping open.
