Editors
Welcome to this edition of
the 695 Quarterly.
It's not only winter, but also Awards
Season. Expect downpours of rain,
accolades and trophies. As we all
know, it takes a large team of talent
both above and below the line to
make any project entertaining and
successful.
The talent and leadership of a depart-
ment head is dependent on the col-
lective talent and leadership of their
crew. It takes teamwork to deliver
excellent quality and craftsmanship.
This teamwork is exemplified by three
complex and technically challenging
motion pictures.
Mac Ruth writes about The Martian;
Mark Ulano expresses his philoso-
phy in The Hateful Eight and William
Sarokin tells us about Sicario. The
common thread here is the respect
for the process and the people they
work with.
Doc Justice details the respect that
manufacturers have for our need for
better products to push the techni-
cal envelope in "Don't Stand for the
Standard!"
We wish you a happy, productive and
bountiful 2016.
Fraternally yours,
Richard Lightstone, Eric Pierce,
Mark Ulano
