It's no surprise to most followers that the Dowd Syndrome works in Visual Effects.
A controversy has arisen in a shot that the Dowd Syndrome worked on in which she digitally removed the words "Holy Bible" from a, wait for it, Holy Bible at the behest of the filmmakers. A co-worker spotted a story about this controversy and read it aloud to the studio. This is what followed:
Co-Worker: ...so that's why it screened with the words still on the book, the filmmakers changed the cut amid the controversy.
TDS: But I worked on that shot.
Me: Jesus killer.
Co-Worker: TDS, you godless heathen!
Other Co-Worker: But you're not Jewish. That's my people.
TDS: I lived in New York. So that's close enough.
One point: Dowd Syndrome.
Co-Worker gets up and walks over to me and says:
Co-Worker: One day I want to bring in a giant dry erase board in and try to explain to TDS the difference between causation and correlation.
Her back to us, headphones still on, wrapped in 2 jackets on a balmy 72 degree morning while working the entire time, TDS says:
TDS: There isn't any.
An obligatory moment of silence followed and TDS, fat and satiated on her indifference to our chicanery, kept working stoic and unwavering like a sweat-jacketed little Wednesday Addams.
Two points: Dowd Syndrome.
