Scott Hamilton and Grand Unified Theories

Scott Hamilton makes gory bodies. Not just any gory bodies. He makes REALLY gory bodies for special effects for films. And he's proud that he's researched human remains working with the Coroner and morgues to get actually right. He's almost always busy and is at work on several motion pictures as we speak, on special make-up, special effects and unusual rubber molds for skeletons and the like.

Animator Jay Boose

Jayson Boose was born and raised in the tundra of Ontario, Canada where he studied classical animation. In 1995 he got his big break and moved south of the border where he landed his first job as an assistant animator on Fox Animation’s “Anastasia.” Soon, Walt Disney Feature Animation beckoned and his adventure with the mouse began.

He started out as an assistant animator on Disney’s “Mulan”, then later as an animator on “Lilo & Stitch” and Brother Bear.” Since the untimely death of 2-D animation he has been blissfully working as an animator in a happy land called Pixar. The Chemist is his first foray into comics.


Jay and his wife Sarah moved back to Toronto after years working in the animation industry in the US. They said they're just happy to be in a place where people are friendlier. Welcome to the Beach, Sarah and Jay. Home of animators, cartoonists, special effects guys, and a whole lot of other really creative people.

Steve Ellwood and Law Practise Efficiency

Steve Ellwood has run a technology consulting operation for law firms since 1984 focusing on the legal market starting with accounting systems such as PCLaw, Peachtree, Bedford accounting, NuViews and Accpac accounting. The practice moved into word processing for these same law firms and provided training for support staff and lawyers in the transition from IBM Selectrics to WordStar, WordPerfect for DOS, MultiMate, XYWrite and a handful of other competing applications.

Document assembly and process automation then became the next frontier. Early systems for law firms included LexperText and WordPerfect's Notebook which for its time was literally 'magic'. On the same timeline firms started wanting to manage their contacts, calendaring and client data using computers. This quickly moved to into wanting to share information across staff where in the early 90’s ellwood started using and implementing Amicus and not too long afterwards, Time Matters.

Today his firm's three divisions are comprised of 14 professionals drawn from IT specialists to paralegals to forensic examiners. Our client base continues to be concentrated in the core of Toronto where he focuses on bringing major league tools to a wide variety of law firms with diverse practice areas. Their future is bright. With upcoming changes to the rules of civil procedure around the limits to the time spent in discovery, the need for accurate and efficient fact management and presentation will become even more important. His clients are prosperous because by and large they represent the subset of the profession that is aggressively seeking advantage for their clients; they are delivering superior results to their clients.
