I'm glad someone brought Justin up. I couldn't possibly be a bigger fan...not only because of his magic, but also because of his extremally down-to-earth attitude from my experiences. I've never met him, but have spoken on the phone with him multiple times. First about Triune, and later about his Close Up Tables (now made by
www.subdividedstudios.com and no longer associated with Justin). He's an incredibly friendly and personable person who, even though our conversations could've been <10 minutes total, I've easily spoken to for hours spanning no less than 5 phone calls.
He also had a project he considered releasing not long ago, a 2 dvd set called his PA Lecture Notes that he pulled...I was lucky enough to have pre-ordered them through his partner at that time Sebashtion, so Justin allowed me to get a copy of them (that he went the extra mile and signed for and addressed to me), and let me to tell you, the material is top notch. My understanding is that he pulled the set because he's going to release some of the effects as individual effects...and if it's so, get ready to grab them...they're worh it.
There---that was my unpaid endorsement for Mr. Miller. I've just had nothing but excellent interactions with him and his products have surpassed my expectations everytime. If you're on
www.closeupjm.com and can't decide whether or not an effect will be worth the money, by all means, it is.
