Robert Scoble
Have you ever seen a cooler office than Charles Alleneck's (he is an animator at Industrial Light and Magic)? Photo:

You've seen his work on Transformers (the movie) but I was blown away by his office. - Robert Scoble
He has hundreds of transformers toys (and some Lego toys hanging from the ceiling) surrounding him at every angle. This was part of our tour today of Industrial Light and Magic (the folks who made Star Wars, among many many other movies). When we walked in he quickly hid what was on the screen. Hmmm. - Robert Scoble
Other photos from our tour are up at http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Robert Scoble
It's worth clicking on this picture. Amazing. - Mark Evans
Reminds me of a domino collection - don't know one over or they all fall down - Lyn Graft
Whoa - Mike Doeff
Yeah. Mark, a higher resolution version of this photo is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Robert Scoble
The computer and monitor need some work. - Louis Gray
Louis: I was actually surprised by most of the monitors I saw at ILM. I have more glass on my desk. But most did have two monitors with a high-speed computer (and they had a kick ass data center for rendering everything). The models that we saw were unreal. I'll try to upload some of those next. - Robert Scoble
Geez, I think he has them arranged by series as well. - Rob H.
His shirt needs replaced, it looks like he got into a fight with a rainbow, and lost after he knocked out green. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Maybe he can only do the work he does thx to his office. - Ton Zijp
Whoa! Hope his office won't face any EQ soon :) - Nir Ben Yona
Wondering if he could find what he's looking for on the fly; probably could. - Mark Evans
Jimminy: to be fair he didn't know he was going to be photographed today for hundreds of thousands of people to see. - Robert Scoble
That's one my little brother will love. Great shot! - Zu from AOD
Jimminy, nice description of a Madras plaid. ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Melanie Reed
Yeah, I remember similar pics (not of transformers) but of other film work in progress when I was a loyal sub'er to "Starlog" mag. Anyone ever take that here? http://www.starlog.com/ - Melanie Reed
Nice shot, Robert! - Melanie Reed
Melanie: the thing is, now he just loves collecting the things. Doesn't have much to do with movies he's working on now. - Robert Scoble
.......................................WANT - Mo Kargas
Can you imagine having to dust the room: "O, just give it a wide shot with compressed air every 2-3". Nice quick bursts." ;) - Melanie Reed
Robert, yeah it looks like it! - Melanie Reed
This is such a cool photo Robert. Looks like one you'd see in Life magazine. What lens did you use? - Mark Krynsky
I mostly only use one lens lately: my 17-40 F4.0 lens on a Canon 5D MK II. This was shot at 6400 ISO. Which is totally crazy. I remember when Kodak came out with 1000 ISO film that was only Black and White and had lots of grain. - Robert Scoble
Scoble, yeah I understand him not being prepared, it's just a very striking shirt, definitely an attention grabber, though the environment pulls you away. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Melanie, I wasn't really describing plaid so much as the colors of it. ;) - Jimminy IS Everybody
Jimminy, yeah, I know. I liked your description! Very apt! (for the record I dislike Madras Plaid. I had to wear it as part of a uniform for a job once...every day) ;) - Melanie Reed
I just noticed he has 8-bit Mario Bros. magnets, that's freakin' awesome. - Jimminy IS Everybody
My brothers who are both artists (animation and modeling) would love this room. - Melanie Reed
Wohaaaaaa - Alper Cengiz
OMG, this is too cool. :) - Stefano Maggi
O_O - Selman
Hope he's got an inventory of all that stuff! - Robert Sanchez Jr
geek! ;) - MissMakimon
My 2yr old would destroy that place in 20 seconds flat. Robert, did he let you play with any of his toys? Great shot by the way! - michael sean wright
I WANT THIS OFFICE!!!! I COVET IT!!!!! - Renee Hendricks
Jason, thought same thing. See my comment about compressed air. ;) - Melanie Reed
How does he get work done? - Sean Oliver
How do I get in touch with him??? I really need to do an interview with him for my talk show!!! - Queen of North Norway
this is more chaotic than cool:) and I was bugged about having an untidy office:) - Neşe
He's gotta be on at least one of the TF forums... - Andrew C (✓)
my 10 year old daughter is looking at this office and wants to know how Charles concentrates! - Mary Ann Halford
Yeah, he really needs a better monitor or two. - Vezquex
I bet that's a picture of his mom ;-) - Jay

I love the Lego AT-ST - Gabe
Is that what we call a hobbie? lol jesus :) - Ludovic Godet Photographe

This has got to be in his mother's basement. - Jack Scalfani
