Fade to Black

Sean you can't go. If you leave you're gonna throw off the half Filipino from NY ratio at Current. The two of combined counted as a full Filipino. My wonder twin powers won't work now. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. When you're in the Philippines, pour some San Miguel on Weng Weng's grave for me.

-Sean

YOU are an amazing editor. I only wish I could have trained with you and learned the true genius behind the edits.

Thanks for all the advice...

keep in touch!

alex e.

sean-

we didn't get to talk much, given you were always in your hole, but when i did talk to you, i never got a bad feeling or funny vibe. you always seemed to be in pretty good spirits and that's a good thing, especially when things around here get kind of crazy and you just need a laugh to ease the tension.

you've been at Current as far as long as i can remember and it's going to be a different place without your presence shuffling about. i'll certainly miss seeing that long shadow of yours (i'm vertically challenged).

this note cannot suffice for goodbye, i'll have to buy you a beer or something. have fun on your future travels, and hopefully we'll see you when you get back.

check ya later,

[barry]

Go to Goa !!! seriously, party central in India lol

good luck man, travel when you are young it is the way to go

good memories sharing a beer in sonicpool , after working hours of course , and waiting for your friend to come pick you up for 2 hours lol

send pics!

Have an amazing trip and soak it all in -- I can't wait to hear all about it. I'll see you when you get back, so we can go on that long overdue double date.

I'll miss you a LOT!

Whaddya mean you're leaving?!!

Seriously though mate, it has been an absolute pleasure, ... especially kicking your ass with the battling RC helis!

I'll see you in Bollyhood son!

I didn't know you had a lot of shoes. I have a lot too. We could have bonded I guess. I don't really like other people's shoes though, just my own. But it's still kinda cool that you like shoes. So, wait. How do you know this Amorena person? She's really loving on you. If someone I worked with loved on me like that it would probably be pretty akward. Does she likes shoes? Maybe I can help her cope because I have a lot of shoes?

By the time you get to my post, you'll be tired of the Ludan lovefest. So let me say this:

I hate you for leaving. Never darken my door again.

Okay, okay. I might forgive you if you share a big pot of pork adobo with me.

one word.... or acronym actually: BAVC!

Awe, memories... Good Luck!

This dude was basically dumped in my lap the day he got of the plane from NY. An old mutual friend said to me "hey, can you look after this guy..? (i.e.. stay with you) Im too busy." All he had with him at the time was small bag of clothes and a crapload of dvd's.. I was like, "really, you brought all these with you"
Needless to say I'm so glad it worked out, and to think I practically had to BEG you to come work at Current. Arent you glad you listened?!

Good luck my man and stay in touch!!

-TK

aight then blood.

See you around my brother

Goddamn...there goes one of the originals...

Good luck out there (waves enthusiastically)!!

Would say good luck but you don't need it. Also, have a blast traveling....i envy you.

you punk. gonna miss ya.

From one New Yorker to another, let me just say....

Okay, you win. You're the real New Yorker. I am trying really hard to get past my envy and just be happy for you. Have a great journey!

Sean,

I really missed working next door from you after I moved to LA. It was really fun time and I will miss the time even more now I know you are leaving. I am sad that you are leaving but at the same time I am glad you are pursuing your dream and following your heart's desire. I wish you the best luck! Don't forget to call me when you are in LA!

Best,

Euna

Seany from the Block::

Thanks for gettin’ super bitchy with me on those early morning commutes. You are a different man after 9am and a muffin, that much I know. Your face is one of the ones I’m happiest to see each day. I will miss you, my friend. Enjoy this new chapter.

P.S. I hear you’re a good editor. Give me a call and I may be able to hook you up with a job!

A presto,

Jessica

Dearest Sean "I love revisions" Ludan,

This goes out to you:

*Loud Sigh* Slamming of editing "room" door.

HEADPHONES!!

Loud laugh of myself, from having animated some stupid ass shit into a Radar.

You grumbling and mumbling something incoherent, but totally pissed at your computer.

Trading music over acme. (Check my user folder if it's still up there.)

Sean, you will be missed. I'm so jealous that you're leaving. I so wish I was too. Oh wait. I've already LEFT Current!! HA! Whatever dude. See you in the real world. Have a blast on your trip and let's go to some Warriors games when you get back. IF you come back.

Peace

Dalan

Sean-- please don't go.....this place won't be the same without you -tear tear (end cliche). Anyways, I can't say I'm not jealous of what you're about to embark on....so live it up and think of us every once in a while.

Stay safe, have a blast, and be in touch :)

Love --Kathy

Dang me Shawon....A pair of shoes for each day of the week. I will miss you. An original Current G leaving the fold. You is super talented and also a fantastic comrade to have in the TV trenches.

I know that the real reason for your travels is to visit the Nike shoe factory in person. Hey its not like the Heineken tour dude.

damn you - you stole my dream... and executed on it.

Sean! I think it's hella whack that you're leaving, but (I guess) I understand. I'll have to find a new buddy to bitch about east coast vs. west coast, get bf advice, and share fashion tips with, and in general, talk shit to. WHO AM I GONNA TALK SHIT TO SEAN? You're so selfish.

Have fun. Bring me something.

Mr. Ludan, we will all be crying at our desks for weeks at the loss of you to the Current team. :( I for one will miss our secret rendez-vous' in your edit booth. Those are times I will always treasure...very special times but I will say no more. How can you leave me with the curmudgeonly ppotu...a pale PALE comparison to the Ludanator. Seriously have a great time being a total slacker in whatever godforsaken countries you find yourself in. Hurry back kind sir!
xo, John

Sean

My favorite, youngest, grumpy old man I've ever known! We go back to the days in F2 before even the ball. Then you moved on up to your own little phone booth while I was eventually banished to the bunker. What a long strange trip ...

Here's hoping your upcoming trips are as mind blowing, expanding and fun as mine always have been/are/will be.

Advice for the road: mystery fruit = good. Mystery meat = bad.

I'll miss ya

Lynnette

Sean,

Now you can finally say it: Not My Promo, Not My Problem! ;)

Thank you for putting up with me for the last 2 years. It's been great working with you. I've learned so much from you, even how to clean my sneakers.

Of course you will be missed for your keen talents and ability to make good stuff great and bad stuff actually watchable.

Best wishes for many excellent adventures in the next chapter.

And if anyone gets in your way just tell them' "I don't' know you so I don't owe you" Ha.

hugs,
Ariel

Dear Snuggles-

Best of luck to a man who'd rather be checking the scores than doing endpages. I would too, and I hate sports. Come to Jersey!

Andy

Seany, my oldest and dearest current bud, and favorite curmudgeon

You tried to teach me how to dance cool, it didn't work but I appreciate your efforts.

Have a wonderful trip, like you need me to tell you that

love
Susan

You're one of the fastest, most talented editors I know. I'm really going to miss your street smarts in the editing bay.

First day, I knew I was in good hands when I could discuss shot styles, noire, Woody's story techniques, Do The Right Thing and Walter Murch. Having a New Yorker to talk to about the old neighborhood (if you could call Chelsea that, Chelsea ... boy).

We're going to miss all the things we took for granted with your post-producing - you have an unequaled eye behind the wheels and have rejuvenated my interest in going there myself. Thank you, man.

Come back from India with a million ideas. Bollywood is the future, son.

Sean,
Have a fantastic time on your next Adventure!! I am super jealous. Don't be a stranger! Safe journey.
Jos

Sean
You are an evil kung-fu poser and you will be missed more than my precious shitzu who ran away (oh, Pookie Bear where have you gone).

I hope you have a great and rewarding trip and I am sure you wont acquire any giant intestinal parasites.

Sean, this sounds like the experience of a lifetime and I am sure you will find it enjoyable and rewarding (remember bring an etch-a-sketch with you). I don't know how we will do without you, but we will try to muddle through.
From now on, whenever we find ourselves with an editing dilemma we will ask ourselves WWSD (What Would Sean Do).
Bon Voyage and much love

Hey Sean,

Not many people know this, but you were one of the first people I hired when I got to Current, and I've never regretted it for a single moment. Probably because you've always sat so far away.

*rimshot*

Heyah! Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! Try the veal!

I'll miss seeing you around, Seanly. Take care of yourself, keep up the mad Wacom skilz, and have fun out there.

I taught Sean everything he knows (luma? Chroma? Whatever) - Insert winking emoticon here. It's like my baby has grown up and is leaving the nest.

Sean, I'm so thrilled for you (and more than a little jealous). You will have the experience of a lifetime and will never be the same again. Milk it for all it is worth, my friend.

Then hurry home so I can teach you what a REAL french dip is like.

Bon voyage mon ami. A là prochain.

awesome photo! it really says "I'm ready to take on the world, AND I know kung fu! So really, watch out."

Seriously Sean, I'm going to miss you lingering around my desk, waiting for Joshua and then pouting when he's not getting off the phone or completely unavailable for a sneak peek of the best promo ever. Be sure to come visit us between all your arrivals and departures!

Have a great time :)

Nacho Libre, let's do acid.

Everybody keeps asking me if I’m sad he’s leaving. My answer: Yeah, now I need to find a new ride to work :) Hehe, of course I’m sad. The only Current I know is the one where I get to see Sean everyday. Without his smiles, his hugs and his constant bad attitude (love ya), working here is going to be a whole new experience. We all know that no matter where he ends up he'll be bitching about them just as much as he bitches about us...I just hope they love it as much as we do, and if not, may he come back to us with his tail between his legs! Best of luck to you, baby, you know you’re going to miss it!
