No Do you understand what it means? Yes" But better than anyone in the room he knew that putting such faith in moviegoers' intuition was a big gamble "That has been the great question: Is the Bristol English provin-cialness of the movie which I keep working to protect going to hinder the movie or make it so wildly different that it is a must-see?" Katzenberg said later "Not only have people never seen a movie that looks like this they've never seen a movie that talks like this But that's its charm" Dressed in chinos a long-sleeve T-shirt and running shoes Katzenberg had flown 5637 miles to get just eight hours of face time with the directors of "Chicken Run" Peter Lord and Nick Park It was a little more than three months before the film's release and Katzenberg and his crew had made this trek every three or four weeks for more than a year At DreamWorks this frenetic kind of scheduling is called "Jeffrey time" because Katzenberg has been known to visit eight countries in seven days to promote a film At the understated Aardman headquarters where the breakneck pace of production is belied by an almost sleepy-feeling torpor Katzenberg's relentlessness seemed to inspire a mix of fond amusement and quiet respect He was undeniably another species But without him and the DreamWorks team Aardman folks offered they would have felt they were flying blind "In Bristol if I meet someone in the film industry chances are I've employed them There's no one in Britain with the kind of knowledge and experience they have producing animated features They can tell you what's wrong and what's right" Lord said admitting that he was surprised by how easy the collaboration had been "I thought it'd be much worse working with a Hollywood studio I thought it'd be hell actually" Testing the partnership Asked to explain the arrangement Lord said: "Technically I believe 'joint creative control' is Petite SBF 41 5'3" seeks honest church-oing tall man 37-44 6 2" medium build social drinker ok NDrugs No games LOOKING FOR PERFECT 10?

Young children love Wallace Gromit and many parents are grateful to find they like watching too But while DreamWorks execs like to say they're pitching "Chicken Run" to 8- to 80-year-olds it could be a hard sell neither saucy enough for teens nor recognizable enough for kids with live-action-loving adults staying away in droves As gambles go "Chicken Run" has pretty good odds Making the movie was relatively inexpensive for an animated feature DreamWorks says it cost about $40 million as compared to the usual $100 million-and-up price tag for American animated features "Chicken Run" seems destined for good critical buzz what with "Wallace Gromit's" hip following and the innovative look of its clay modeling technique Perhaps most significantly by enabling Aardman to make its chicken movie largely its own way DreamWorks has succeeded in forging a long-term business relationship with some of the more reluctant and sought-after talents ever courted by Hollywood Katzenberg began wooing the Aardman folks Lord his partner Dave Sproxton and creative wunderkind Park more than 10 years ago when he was still an executive at Disney Now DreamWorks has a five-picture deal with the animation studio that will include a version of the fable "The Tortoise and the Hare" and someday soon Katzenberg hopes a feature-length "Wallace Gromit" movie relationship 3y i SF 5'3" somewhat shy likes walks travel- SANFORD AREA ming out cnurcn weening open-mina-honest Intelligent romantic SM NS DWM 49 6'2" enjoys movies quiet times and long trips Seeking SDWF 25-50 for ND with same interests W1737 possible LI HOPEFUL ROMANTIC BEAUTIFUL BLACK ON WHITE SPF 27 5'9" redbrown seeks man 25-35 a great listener sense of humor P2491 SWEETEST TABOO Exciting energetic caring secure blue-eyed handyman FL resident seeks special friendsweetheart who loves to lovebe loved Black lady only Monogamous O4031 ABNORMALLY NORMAL Mature intelligent well-educated financially secure SWM loves shortlong trips boating dining dancing Seeking the company ot an attractive intelligent SWF 35-50 for friendship and having a nice time 03941 I WOULD NEVER ANSWER AN AD Then you would never meet a nice looking male 45 6' 200lbs and do whatever with this intriguing person who would never run a personal ad Q3819 RETURN TO ME Honest SM 26 enjoys playing pool movies walks in the park spending time together Seeking SF 23-30 no games Q3273 SEEKING YOU SWM 29 seeks SHF 18-35 who enjoys movies dining out the beach outdoor activities and computer activities for fnend- Ship Q3898 TRUE COUNTRY DWCM 34 6' I72lbs blackblue athletic build tanned loves playing sports movies traveling and picnics Seeking attractive SWCF 28-35 O4078 DO YOU DARE?

Does all this taping cheapen the moments? "What does it mean for something to be once in a lifetime if it's not really once in a lifetime?" Redfield says "You constantly have to decide what is meaningful" Still sitting on our couches with our homemade popcorn in the comfort of our homes we celebrate the VCR and the video era It has been a good quarter century And it's worth noting that this year marks another video milestone: It's the 15th anniversary of the first Blockbuster store Staff writer Adrienne Johnson can be reached at 829-4751 or adriennjnandocom entire life can be documented from beginning to end "It affects our sense of time our sense of space and distance" Redfield says With video events don't have to be missed Weddings births and other intimate moments don't have to exist in memory anymore or in the telling Events can be taped and viewed as they happened So the past seems more present and the present stays the present over and over again There is a downside to growing up with all this So much control can be misleading "There's an illusion of total choice that you can always have things immediately available" Redfield says "Not all of life is instantly available and without much effort" And if everything is taped DOWN-TO-EARTH Natural redhead 32 5 2" 122lbs country irl Christian loves t' outdoors seeks iWM 25-38 down-to-earth honest O3077 SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP SWM 49 blackblue beard loves country music beaches dancing movies dining out Seeks SDWF 38-48 for friendship fun possible LTR 02654 SEMI-RETIRED DWM 69 Methodist who enjoys bridge companionship dancing golf movies sports television walking seeks attractive WF 56-69 college graduate 092t9 DEPENDABLE MALE Open-minded trustworthy SBPM 20 5'6" 165lbs blackbrown enjoys shopping talking on the phone romantic candlelit dinners travel Seeking SF 20-30 for LTR O4004 WORK HARD PLAY HARD Good-looking DWPM 40 brownbrown loves to work out tennis dining out Seeking fit SF who likes 1p laugh 0398J Honest family-oriented DBF 53 5'6" enjoys fun outings and romance Seeking sincere loyal financiallyemotionally secure SBM 50-60 for possible LTR TT3Q80 sometimes belly bustin' funny SF seeks SWM 55-70 with similar qualities for open-ended relationship 03512 SOMEONE DEPENDABLE Attractive SWF 170lbs homebody enjoys sewing fishing travel Seeking down-to-earth clean-cut SWM for friends first P3953 HAPPY IN LIFE Tall SF 47 brownbrown full-figured mother of three enjoys dining sports plays nature Seeking tall honest affectionate SM NS for relationship 03958 ARE YOU THE ONE?
