Hi all, I’m happy to be here! As a child from the 80s, Ghostbusters was a big influence that not only helped shape my childhood, but was also pivotal in being a part of the foundation that inspired me to go into the career I have today. As a digital artist, I get to have fun with video motion graphics, photography, UI design, marketing art, and 3D modeling / animation. One of the reasons I joined this forum, is that I’m interested in creating a main titles intro. of [Ghostbusters 3](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/ghostbusters-3) for my portfolio. I’m super impressed with the various fans on this site who have [prop replicas](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/mattel-prop-replicas) of the [proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter), [ghost trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap), uniforms, ecto-1, etc. and would love to get in touch with some of you, especially if you live in Texas or California! I’d love to do photo shoots / DV footage of what you have and use it as assets for my project. Plus, it’ll be a great way to meet some of you in person 😃 You are welcome to take a gander at my website: [http://www.russellperkins.com](http://www.russellperkins.com) ---

I actually remember visiting your site a few months ago, and completely forgot to welcome you to the site as a result. Welcome! You are definitely very talented. Hopefully you have some cool Ghostbusters projects in the works! ---

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! Most appreciated 🙂 I’m still interested in talking to some of the fellow GB fans in the Texas / California areas, who have movie accurate gear and ECTO-1 for my main titles project… ---

Hey Toaster, I am in the Plano area most of the time, and I am almost finished making a buck to pull shells for my group up here. I havent had too much of contact with the “Official” Dallas Ghostbusters, I do know that they are a great group of people. If you need anything, let me know Thomas
