WOTW Documentary

[CPP]

Hi board-

Sorry if I dropped out of sight re the WOTW doc. Been trying to get things settled and get these projects started properly. Also, and I know this is lame, but I LOST MY ORIGINAL POST! So for those of you who posted to this topic earler, my eternal thanks (I made good use of some of that info), and I'd like to re-start the chat here if that's OK.

So... at least two of these projects (of a total of three) are happening. I can't discuss the broadcast partner 'till they sign papers (next week I'm told), but the other two are for direct to DVD.

At this juncture we are collecting usable images and etc. for these shows. One jackpot I have found here is some fan artwork that I will be featuring in the show along with the requisite credits for the creators. I worked in sci-fi TV a few years back, and I must say that some of your artwork beats the heck out of what we got from some of our people (then, or course, there were the Rick Sternbach's and etc. who were quite good).

At any rate, still interested in opinions of topics for inclusion and any leads.

The whole shebang will be wrapped by late April and should show up in stores by early June, to coincide with you-know-what.

Again, my thanks to those who turned me on to the HG Wells Society, etc.

Just for transparency's sake, the production house for these projects is Cinema Pacific Entertainment in LA, CA.

Thx

Rod

BTW, I did email both Jeff Wayne's people and Pendragon- no replies from either. It would be a shame to do this topic without some of their material included (not to mention the great free publicity), but ...

Hi Rod:

I'm still willing to discuss the inclusion of the Alvim Corrêa drawings under license. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hiya Carioca. You're one of the contacts I lost when I couldn't find my old post (*slaps head*).

Why don't you drop me a line at [e-mail] and let me know what you have in mind. I looked over your site and there's some intersting material!

Thx

This is your original thread re the Docu, CPP, if that helps..

Will the UK get to see your film?

I'd see if you could get the rights to some of the illustrations by Tom Kidd:

I think he get's the right turn-of-the-century feel to his illustrations.

You are also quite welcome to use my sketches at:

although most are very rough thumbnails. I'm pretty happy with:

You may also want to talk about the various changes in the story that were made, especially the Marriott chapter that was removed before 1st publication and the 'dig' at the original illustrator in later editions of the novel.

[glow=red,2,300]I'm really looking forward to your doco CPP! Hope something of mine gets used but I'm sure it'll be great regardless

[CPP]

Bayne, fear not... your cuddly Martians are a perfect example of the pop-culture surrounding the WOTW...

Any others are welcome! The shows (three at last count) are proceeding nicely. It's rare to be able to work on stuff that you actually ENJOY! We're verryyyy busy, but rolling "Pig Heaven mud!

Hi-

Yes, two of them will be on DVD; I think internationally. If not, I'll be happy to ship them to anyone interested.

The third is for broadcast, and should go intl (at least to English speaking countries) as well.

Thanks for your interest. Things are really heating up for us; we have two months to make 5-6 hours of TV. Sheesh.

Any good 3D animators out there??
