Ever wondered how those swanky hotels manage to be so irritatingly perfect all the time? It takes people like this, and if you think this is exaggerated, you’ve spent your work life in places with lower standards.

“At Your Service” is a fast ride of traditional 2D animation (composited in Adobe AE) with a new character from Michael Jantze, creator of “The Norm” comic strip. Mr. Lux is only happy when he delivers five-star service to his hotel guests. This LXR Hotel orientation film was an official selection of Festival de Cannes 2008 Short Film Corner and winner of three Create Awards 2008. More at http://jantze.com
You can tell that’s translated from swanky French by the word “composited,” which to Canadian ears sounds like it was fished out of the bin in the garden, along with several exotic species of mushrooms. Which we do not rule out entirely.
Two pieces of chocolate cake and a glass of milk, please. Actually the restaurant at the top of Whistler is pretty swanky. The food is so pretty you don’t know whether to eat it or take a picture of it. Well, do both. And obviously, the service is also superb.
Did you know at the end of January we’re having WordCamp Whistler? Well, we are. No firm date yet, but as soon as we have one you should sign up. They say the hotels are giving us a special rate. WordCamp in the morning, PhotoCamp in the afternoon. SHould be a riot (and I’ll have the whole afternoon free, because I suck at photography and have no decent digital camera anyway).
Fawlty Towers this is not. I have indeed spent (most of) my work life in places with lower standards—I work from home! Haha! A charming and realistic film.
