Caine's feeling right at home

Hey there folks, well lets get straight into it, Chapter 10 is completed with an absolute magical score done by Sven Faulconer! Koldcast will be releasing it on Thursday, October 13th! So make sure you check it out folks!

And guess what!? We’re nearing 300 subscribers on youtube!! So if you know of any friends that like sci-fi, please for the love of God get them to sub and put us over the 300 mark, I think we only need 6 more or something? If we get over the 300 subs mark, as I said on the facebook page, I will make another thank you vid with some more behind the scenes footage!

So you may notice that the updates are rather few and far between nowadays, well let me tell you that I’ve never been busier with Frontier! And if you’re wanting to know whats going on, I always post updates on the facebook page! (sometimes twitter). So make sure you are liked to that to stay in the up to date loop.

Frontier  was lucky enough to get a radio advert playing on some internet radio stations, thanks to the efforts of Rich Mbariket at Web Series Network and Sal Amato at 1Club FM at addictedtoradio.com who are both MASSIVELY supportive of webseries so major kudos to them!

Aren't you guys dead?

The radio advert is playing on 1Club FM stations: G93, Q97, ChannelOne, Garage Punk, Hair Voltage and Love Bites, so check them out!

You can hear the radio advert right here too!

In other Frontier news, something ultimately very cool happened, Frontier came second place in the quarterly views competition held by StaytunedTV.net, we managed over 70,000 contest views but at the moment appear to be sitting at over 84,000 views in total – that is just magic!

Also you may have noticed that recently I did an interview with Spellfury‘s Travis Gordon on his online show ‘This Week in Webseries’, it was alot of fun to do and we talked alot about Frontier and the web-series community, see it below!

Chapter 14 is finally finished, all the shots are locked off and the lines are mostly done, and the temp music track has been put down, so thats more good news that the production is keeping ahead of the release by at least four episodes, hopefully I can keep it up.

Chapter 15 is now in the works, I have finished about 3 minutes worth so far of the Chapter and lots of work is going into it, you can see some pics from it in this post.

So that’s it for now, remember to watch out on Thursday, for Chapter 10 release!

Hey everyone, well great news, Chapter 9 is out with new music by Sven Faulconer, it’s very awesome! Check out his website at Falconscore.

A big thanks to Ryan Roye from Tanadrine Studios which produce the webseries, Delura, (he plays Corporal Ross) for putting up with me hitting him up at the 11th hour for some audio lines I had forgotten to send out – what a trooper!

Also a big thanks to Gianni Matanagro who’s just finished voice work for Wing Commander Saga, for providing a very trailer-esque voice for us on the 30 second grabber at the start of Chapter 9.

At the moment on youtube my good friends Travis Gordon (from Spellfury) and Chris Greenaway (from Venus Spa) have begun making a weekly talk vid called This Week in Webseries, at the moment they are up to their third episode, it’s very informative and entertaining, it was good to make up a coffee and sit down in front of the comp to have a watch, the episodes usually run for roughly an hour in length, however the third episode is about thirty minutes, AND also they give a very generous shout out to Frontier too!

Also I’m sure with the 10th anniversary of the Sep 11 2001 World Trade Centre and Pentagon attacks all our thoughts are with the families and friends of those who were lost.

So in terms of the production right now, Sven currently is working on Chapter 10 and we are expecting the release of each episode to now run every four weeks, first on Koldcast and then onto youtube and staytuned TV.net. In the meantime I have been obviously working on new models and producing the fly-by videos as I’m sure you have all seen on youtube over the last month, but now I’m going to get back into finishing up Chapter 14 (WHAT STILL ON CHAPTER 14?! I hear you screaming) yeah apologies all round and a slap on the hand for me!

So stay tuned, the expected release for Chapter 10 will be 7th October (NZ Time – so 6th for the rest of the world).

Hey everyone again apologies at the absolute mess these updates have fallen into, I had a word given to me by my best friend who also is voicing Petty Officer Skillen in the upcoming Chapters. I was told to get my ass into gear and get these updates rolling again for those who want to read them.

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!

Hey everyone! My deepest and sincerest apologies for the lack of anything on here latey, but I wanted the roundup to come out alongside Chapter 8 and we’ve had a few hiccups there, but as you can see it’s out and looking and sounding hot!

I in the meantime have been working on some of the teen Chapters so that when we finally reach them toward the end of this year, they’re ready to go and we can keep up the momentum.

Part of this includes the remodelling of almost everything and as you can see I always chuck a fly-by video up whenever a new model is ready to go, right now I’m remaking the Firehawk, so that should be up on youtube soon too.

For now folks that’s it, but keep your eyes on youtube for some new models and more chapters coming your way.

Hi all,

Well not too much to update on this week, Chapter 7 will be released on Monday, Chapter 14 work continues and Marc has begun work on the Chapter 8 music and some redone lines have gone out.

All in all we’re going well, but not a massive amount to update on, so in the spirit of  a release on Koldcast and Youtube every three weeks the Saturday Weekly Roundup will now be the Saturday Tri-Weekly Roundup to co-incide with the release of a new chapter, this way it will be full of news as more will have occured to report on, so the next time you hear from me (barring little tid bits of news n stuff) will be 16th July 2011. So talk to you then guys!

And stay tuned cos there’s lots more to come!

The Prisoners

Hello again everyone, well I can safely say this week I have putting a big effort into Chapter 14, getting quite a few shots done and am pleased to say it is close to completion, but there is a wee bit of bad news for those of you waiting for an quick release of this chapter, I’ve decided that Chapter 14 will be released in order, meaning not until the redressed Chapter 13 is released first. The upside of this is that from now until then I can work on Chapters 15 upward so that by the time we reach Chapter 14 I will still hopefully be able to release a new chapter every three weeks and maintain the schedule.

Big apologies to those who were after a quick release of this, I have been thinking hard about it for awhile now and decided this will be the best course of action. I will still be releasing new model vids and behind the scenes stuff of course in the meantime along with the three-week release of each Chapter.

As far as Chapter 7 goes, it’s looking good, Marc’s music is amazing as always! And I am getting in the final redone audio lines, Chapter 7 will be released on June 27th.

In regard to Frontier’s screening at the Gencon Indy 2011 Film Festival, the screening time will be Thursday, August 4th at 2pm. There’s a link to the showing here, and this is also where you can obtain tickets (they’re free), however you need to register to see this page (which is easy, quick and also free).  So if your gonna be in Indiana at that time, show your support and come to the screening! Steve Richards who plays Captain Welxer will be there too!

Thanks so much again everyone for your support to the show!

Until next week,

Lew

BOOM!!

Chapter 6 came out on June 6th and it looks quite good I’m happy to say! You can see it above on the Koldcast player! I hope you all enjoyed it.

Also on koldcast they did a feature story on movies influenced by UFO’s and aliens and Frontier featured on there, was pretty cool to see it listed beside Battlestar Galactica!!

News on the redress of Chapter 7 – well so far so good, the visuals are looking a little nicer and the voice work for the redone lines is superb! Marc is working tirelessly on the new OST for it and I can’t wait to hear what he has, Chapter 7 will be released on Koldcast June 27th so keep you’re eyes out for that!

I have been putting in heaps of work to Chapter 14 as well, the shots are coming along very nicely (I have included a little picture of one up in the corner) At this point I’m half-way through Scene 31 which is the last scene of Chapter 14, so getting there.

And in side news it’s my birthday coming up (14th June) and it’s my last year of my twenties (29) I really hope I can finish FPTD before I hit 30? I suppose we’ll find out.

Stay tuned for more next week.

Lew
