Production systems were using ASP + Microsoft Commerce Server +MS SQL Server.

6. L-Squared Entertainment, Inc. 1996 – 2000 – Developer, Systems/Network Administer
   This was a movie production and special effects company. It was a small shop but with a lot of small and big Hollywood movie projects – you had to be a jack of all trades to make sure each project was delivered according to the specifications and even more importantly before deadline. I remember on one specific movie project each day delay would have cost the company $50,000 fine. Both I am the rest of the support team had to work almost 100 hours for the last couple of weeks just to make the deadline. Nothing prepares you to handle fires than actually being in one and trying to survive 🙂
