This week has seen the release of Part 12 as promised, I hope that everyone enjoyed the episode.

Now that the episode is out I will be looking at updating a few items on the site itself. I will be resuming the weekly item – however it will now be one a week, and it could be anything – a character, capital ship, small ship, planet, battle?  I will be updating some older profiles too, I will let you know here what has been updated when it happens.

I have also scene numbered the remainder of Frontier – Prelude to Darkness and the entire movie will number 61 Scenes – we have just seen Scene 25 with Part 12 so that gives you an idea of where the story progression is at the moment.

I have also put together a full new trailer for Frontier Prelude to Darkness – see it here.

So in the meantime, stay tuned – there’s much more to come.

A short announcement to say Part 12 has been released, alot of work on this had been done months ago along with Part 11 when they were both originally one part, due to time constraints, the part was split into two parts, so it meant that it was easy to get Part 12 released so close to Part 11.

See it here.

Sorry everyone, another brief update this week.

I decided rather than clog it up releasing two episodes at the same time, that I would release Part 11 now and Part 12 when it’s finished whish should be about a week or so.

Part 12 is coming along now at 71% – lot’s of action in this part as it is now purely a space battle scene. Keep checking the updates on facebook.

Stay tuned for more next week (and hopefully the release of Part 12)

I decided to release Part 11 early so that people aren’t clogged up with two parts to watch in about a week when Part 12 is ready. See it here.

Not much more new information this week, just more work on Part 11’s big battle sequence – we are now at 94% Completion. I fear the likelihood of their being a Part 11a and a Part 11b are getting more and more real, as I approach almost 10 minutes with still quite a bit to put into this battle scene, but if it does come down to their being a Part 11a and Part 11b – they’ll both be released at the same time. In terms of how large the battle sequence is, there’s roughly 94 shots and I’m at shot 49 currently, some of those shots are easy and some are hard.

Stay tuned for more next week.

A short update this week as I’m working furiously on this battle scene which is taking up a hell of a lot of time and processing power hehe.

This week hot on the heels of the last one has seen Part 11 reach 88% Completion, I know last week I said I’d try and put another 15% in this week, and unfortunately fell a little short only at 9%. So hopefully we’ll be looking at another week and a half.

A big thanks to WC News for their continuing coverage of this part, I hope people aren’t getting too impatient, believe me when I say I’m trying to get this finished as soon as possible, but at the same time not rush it.

One thing that might end up happening is, if this part ends up being over ten minutes, there’ll be an A and B Videos to Part 11 rather than end the Part mid-sequence. Hopefully it all fits inside ten minutes, but who knows? Next week we will definitely be in the ninety percent range.

Stay tuned for the next Saturday Weekly Roundup – next week.

I know that this part is taking its damn sweet time, but let’s just say making a battle scene between a opposing fleets is quite complex – one 300 frame shot I did yesterday took twelve hours to do.

The last week has however been massively productive in terms of how much is actually in this latest scene (Scene 25 – the final scene of Part 11). I have managed to squeeze another 10% into the completion status since the last update so by that rule, we should be looking at another 1-2 weeks.

Part 11 as it stands is at 79% Complete and we’re probably looking at a full ten minute part here so you’ll understand if it has taken a little longer than usual.

I will tell you though that the satisfaction is pretty cool when you see a completed shot you have done of a Union cruiser launching an attack run against a Dakota fleet hehe.

One other thing to be said is we are going to see a couple of reoccurring characters get iced this part, so if you’ve grown fond of any of them, then brace yourselves lol.

Last week you’ll remember me saying I was going to be victorious in my monopoly campaign against my wife, well this failed miserably and I lost badly – again. I’ve let her wear the monopoly crown…for now.

Well hopefully next week I can manage to add let’s say 15% more onto that completion status.

Stay tuned for the next Saturday Weekly Roundup – next week.
