I was extremely excited to see our Subscriptions move over 300 on youtube! And I have been planning the behind the scenes video for you all and liaising with some other cast and crew to try and get you something that’s a little polished and little nifty and will a one shot small little teaser for Frontier 2!

Frontier was acknowledged by the International Academy of Web Television last week through the interview I did with Travis Gordon, they posted a tweet about it and mentioned that perhaps Frontier should get entered into their upcoming Awards!

With Gen Con (and I haven’t forgotten those of you that helped out with that one, I have characters and ships with your names on them coming up in the future Chapters!) which was a very exciting and successful event for Frontier raising the profile of the series and getting us a little prestige too (note the cool emblem on the top of the website!). So thanks once more to those who helped us out!

You’ll also be going into the ending credits under the Special Thanks section!

So (takes deep breath) like last time I’m putting out my poor student hand and seeing if we can raise money to get Frontier into the IAWTV Awards! The amount to be raised is $90USD for an annual membership in the IAWTV and a further $45USD to submit the show! (So $135USD total). Entries close on October 31st.

To donate, click here or at the top of the site on the donate box!

Like last time those who help us raise the fee will get either a ship, character or planet named after them in the series (their choice), and a spot on the special thanks list!

So stay tuned for the behind the scenes vid which should be coming over the next few weeks, possibly alongside Chapter 11 which is due out on November  7th!

So the tri-weekly roundup will continue as promised, but in the meantime here’s some “in-between” news.

A big welcome to Sven Faulconer who is our new composer, Sven currently works under the legendary James Newton Howard, responsible for scores from ‘Sixth Sense, I am Legend, Green Hornet’, and many more.

Sven has written music for ‘Green Hornet’ as well and has scored a number of his own projects, you can see his IMDB profile here, it’s impressive!

You can also hear some of his stuff at his website here.

Also on StaytunedTV.net Frontier is doing VERY well, at number 2 on the most popular list! With almost 70,000 views! So that’s absolutely fantastic!

Was awesome to see we passed the 250 Subs mark on youtube, as promised the minute we reach 300 I’ll do another behind the scenes vid to say thanks to y’all, I’ll try to make it a bit more in-depth this time too.

We’re expecting Chapter 9 to be coming out around September 3rd, in tandem with its release will be a tri-weekly roundup, and all other chapters are aimed to be every three weeks after that release.

In the meantime as some of you may have noticed I’ve been busy remaking all the models of the ships and releasing fly-by videos to let you see them as they come out, as it stands the remaining fly-by vids will be:

• B-147 Boxcar Mk II Medium Bomber (rendering now)
• UC-82 Raven MkII
• F-214A Blood Falcon Interceptor
• Dakota Space Superiority Fighter Mk II
• Dakota Torpedo Bomber Mk II
• F-219 Accipiter Swiftback Space Superiority Fighter (next-gen fighter that will eventually replace the aging Firehawks)

So that’s the list of models coming out.

So that’s it for now folks,

Until Chapter 9!
