 Two of the handful of CalArts sound transfer "guys" on "VERMIN" went  on to fame and fortune elsewhere. Stephen Hillenburg went on to  create "SpongeBob SquarePants," perhaps somewhat inspired or  tortured by transferring endless hours of director/editor Chris  Innis sound effect splats, boinks and doinks; and Steve Hanft (who  also worked on sound transfer for "VERMIN"), who Innis befriended at  CalArts, went on to be the respected indie filmmaker/music video  director of Becks "Loser" and many other music videos, and who was  lead singer of the then unknown band "Loser" with folk rapster Beck  Hansen (before Beck became famous with his hit song, "Loser.")
