This character design is a based on a friend of mine, Oliver Domenchini. He is an animator at Oasis. Within hours of emailing this design to the studio, I got a call from the producer asking "The Assistant character looks like Oliver? Is it Oliver?" I had to laugh. I don't think anyone at the studio, including Oliver were expecting him to pop up as a character. Lots of cheats in this rotation too, especially in the arms. He is never going to rotate on the spot holding a cable like this, so it doesn't matter.

He was living in Vancouver on Manitoba St. Do you have an email address where I could contact him ? He was a nice friend, I havent seen him in... 15 years ? thanks!! Iza from Québec...
