Company History

Article says: >>> the company's founder Tim Jenison and its Vice President Paul Montgomery also were presented as new types of entrepreneurs running a new and different kind of company. <<<

Please explain how the company was new and different? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.85.67.241 (talk) 10:25, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External Link Check

Source 8 referring to Montgomery's "untimely death" published before his death and contains an unflattering quote by Montgomery instead of any news of his demise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.26.251.7 (talk) 00:09, 24 September 2016 (UTC) I did not delete it, but thought it interesting instead.[reply]

It seems to support the first part of the sentence. I added another source which supports the latter half. Kuru (talk) 03:17, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

San Antonio Relocation

The page (rudely) interjects with a question about when the company relocated to San Antonio. https://www.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/1997/08/18/story1.html Sure looks like 1997-ish. Wikipedia's editor culture is too awful for me to want to make changes to an article, but whoever cares enough about this date can now put it in instead of defacing the article.

Home Improvement

This article has contained an uncited claim that the Toaster was used for transitions on Home Improvement since about 2014, and I feel like probably a lot of people have repeated that, since this info seems to be all over the internet. I think all of it (including the mention in this article) was probably sourced from one very questionable webpage made in the early 2010s, based on my google-fu.

Today, I received this comment on a Youtube video about later Newtek hardware:

"The Video Toaster did do some of the special effects on the TV series Babylon 5 but not on Home Improvement. Most of those special effects were conceived by the great designer Jim Praytor and executed at Modern Videofilm in Burbank. I was lucky enough to be one of the cadre of compositing and online editors who worked on the show. Most effects were done in the Discrete Logic/Autodesk family of compositors, the Fire, Flame or inferno. We also would use camera stands and paper cutouts, shoot ad-hock green screen in the facility parking structure and heavily use the Grass Valley Kaleidoscope in the edit room for image manipulation. Contrary to the effects found in the TriCaster no "canned effects" were used in Home Improvement. Every effect or transition was purpose built for the show. We might re-use something created earlier, but they were all show original. I even got a cameo as a tiny green elf jumping out of a giant treasure chest."

This was posted by one Alex Trocker, who IMDB lists as an effects artist on Home Improvement. Given the specificity of the claim and there being no earthly reason to go to great lengths to fabricate this information, I'm assuming this is the truth. Obviously we can't cite a comment, but since the info in the article was uncited, I think this is good enough cause to remove it. Gravislizard (talk) 01:47, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
