video Peaceful Negotiations

[Triller 1,475]

Negotiations can be hard.  Some players want more than others and sometimes those demands can get a little weighty.  This off-season, Houston, among other teams, were in talks with a well know VHLM player.  After @AJW and I chatted with this players Agent it was concluded that a Mandalay Bay and a statue of this player would need to be constructed in Houston.  As the AGM of Houston I jumped right into talks with the city about a commercial zoning permit and a location for the Mandalay Bay to be constructed.  I also reached out to a very prominent, local sculptor to get started on the statue.  Before talks had concluded, a show of good faith was sent to show our commitment.  A piece of the gold statue that had been already sculpted.  Who could say no when all their demands had been agreed to and were already in progress...

 

It seems, in the end, that this player was going to go elsewhere to play with a friend.  One could assume that this plan was long in place and that negotiations were futile from the beginning, but that would be speculation.  With a sculpt already being worked on we had to pivot.  In the end, something magnificent was created and was placed on the front steps of the Houston Arena.

It's plaque reads:

"HOUSTON BULLS ARENA
Depicted here is the GM of the Houston Bulls, AJ, standing tall and working for his team against those who would negotiate poorly with him.
MESS WITH THE BULL GET THE HORNS"

Juan would like it known that he has started his own player management agency and will be advising future players who may hire him as their agent to sign with Houston and their wonderful AGM Triller. 

(Please note: Juan's agent is still RC, not himself)

Reviewing this piece! 

 

Rating this video a 10/10. This is a fun creative piece that pays homage to the Houston Bulls GM negotiating with a player. To have modeled this in 3D, textured, posed, rendered it out and then edit it in to a turntable with music was quite a feat! The plaque is a nice touch with a fun play on the way negotiating went. The hockey stick as a flag pole is a great nod to the game and an excellent touch.
