Movie Tone News December 2018

                                                                                     

This months news is old news you could say as we look back at what the studio done over the last year.

January & February the studio was still operation as If it wasn't for Ones, but January seen the building of the Paddle Steamer, a model I'd had for a long time.
                                      
January also seen the Perilous Island campaign reach the said Perilous Island & was infect the  one & only campaign I ever got to complete.
                                       
The shot above I used as the logo for P.I & is one of my favorite shots, January seen 2 P.I releases.
                                       

                                       
While February seen a remake of the classic movie Murder by Death called Murder by Death the Remake.
                                                             
This movie seen Chip Spud & Tasha Stripvo in their first movie rolls & was also the first comedy I ever tried, if it worked or not only you can say.
                                         
March seen the move to Nickel & Dime studio's & the first Movie Tone News as well as three episodes of P.I
                                                                              
With two of them shot as one.
                                         
                                     
                                          
 March also seen the intro for Outer World Investigations.
                                          
April Had the first two parts of the first O.W.I but the story was left unfinished'
                                         
but hopefully we'll return to it in the Newyear, there was also a Dress rehearsal for Riper Wars but this project was binned.
April closed with the return of Chip & Tasha in the lead rolls.
                                         
May Started with the horror The Dream Stone which I think is the best script I've written.
                                         
It was a short story but the stuff of nightmares, still in May we returned to THSOA & a nice little boat trip.
                                        
As Connie, Taylor & company made their way to Livingston
                                        
June seen the conclusion of P.I as we watched in horror as the Island blew itself apart
                                        
before slipping into the sea,
                                        
with some of our hero's still on it.
There was a dress rehearsal for Congo, now Congo I really like but I need to figure away to do it solo, so this project is on hold.
                                        
June closed with chapter 7 of THSOA as now safely in Livingstone the parties went their different ways.
                                        
July, seen Connie, Taylor & Marco head off into the wilds.
                                       
August, had the crew assembled for 5 Parsecs & a film shot for it but a mishap seen the movie deleted,
                                          
this project will be returned to.
THSOA, brought about a terrible event with the death of Marco Boswell.
                                      
September, & with Marco dead & the party lost it was left to Col Fairweather to lead them out of the mountains,
                                      
but any joy was short lived & after a Prelude & 10 Chapters the tale came to a close with Taylor lying on the ground wounded & Connie been lead away as a captive.
                                     
Also in September I'd my first look at a THW gaming with dress rehearsal for High Moon Dead Reckoning,
                                      
this will be seen action in the Newyear when the casts & sets have be completed.
October, Astounding Tales came to the four-front after many years of trying to work out how to get it to work, with the Phantom Jungle  movie.
                                       
Phantom Jungle seen the biggest star of the studio's take to the screen.
                                       
This movie was hands down the most enjoyable one to make that I've done to-date, from shooting it to doing the script it was a hell of a bit of slap-stick :)
October was to end with two releases, Reel one of Secret of the Corpse Diamond Temple staring Chip & Tasha.
                                                                  & for Halloween The Slave Children of the Obelisk.
                                       
November sadly seen no releases.
December & Reel 2 of Secret of the Corpse Diamond Temple.
                                 

                

                                                                                                                                                                Of coarse the year wasn't just about making movie's as stuff was been done for up coming events, some of which have already hit the screen,The studio's jungle terrain got a face lift.
                                       
While something snaked its way into the studio
                                                        
Remember this clue to what my new project was going to be ?
                                      
All ways reveled as new stars started to arrive.
                                     
                                     
Also done was the first of what the studio's hope to be many.
                                     
Our first set in a box.
                                     
Things like this are imo great & can be switched out to be different places.
                                     
Plus on going work.
                                     
                                     
Over all a very good year, with lots in the pipe-line for the next one :)
