T.F.S Part 9 Update 13th July

Hello...

Sorry about the slow updates, but hey, it's me.

Online shoots are back on and things are moving forward slowly but we are getting there.

I will try and release a trailer at some point but as there arn't any battle scenes properly filmed yet, it would be a pretty basic teaser. Upto you what you want, and it is by no means finished so don't expect too much.

I am trying to aim to release the episode before Halo Reach is released so this is the plan.

Sorry for rubbish update, just so hard to get time.

Kind Regards
Darknal

T.F.S Part 9 Update 7th July

T.F.S Has been on Hold for a while since the World Cup, and will commence production after this time.

A few issues have been hit and production was stopped....

I am working on resolving these issues as quickly as possible...

It doesn't matter what I say, I'll never be able to make a quick episode and I am sorry for this.

All I can ask is your patient, and hopefully enjoy the episode, if ever completed.

Regards
Darknal

T.F.S Part 9 Update 21st June

Hello People,

Long time since update, but have been moving quite smoothly so far. Just got the big scene's left to do which will take a while, and my brother Dave still hasn't started any animation yet so all that to do as well. Basically, the worst stuff till last....


But, getting there with the other scene's, still working on Cosmic's scene which was the first scene started and looks like the one that will take longest. Put it this way it took ONE WEEK to do a 1 second shot. Not there is reasons for this but things I think you will overlook or not think about. Basically you probably wont notice the work involved but seriously is hard.


Well the picture above has nothing to do with Part, just it's always good seeing something rather than a wall of text.


I'll try get something done soon for YouTube as a Teaser... Not a trailer.


Regards
Darknal

T.F.S Part 9 Update June 9th

Hello,

Things are moving, a few online shoots have been done and still a lot to do, but some scene's have been coming together.

Some scenes that were started at the beginning, still haven't been finished due to these little touches (which you wont notice) that give the scene more depth and atmosphere.

Thus, in the not too distant future, I will release some screenshots via here and YouTube.

They will not be interesting as I do not want to give anything away but they will be something neitherless.

Also, on the right of my page is a Donation bar. This is more aimed at rich people that can spare some money but, although I have money, none of it can be spent on the series. I really am using T.F.S money on T.F.S which most goes on licensing etc, it would be a help for some people to Donate to help maintane the high standard of machinima that is made.

Thanks again
Speak soon
Kind Regards

Darknal Recruiting for New Body Actors

Hello people.


Over time, people have strayed, gone offline, and some are just a little deluded.


I am now filtering out my friends list for new loyal body actors that can actually body act and respect the shoot.


I am also trying to filter out any individuals that want to be in TFS without actually knowing whats involved, so here's the score.


It is not fun, it is not entertaining, it is very long and boring that obviously will hopefully look awesome in the end but making them is not fun. Shoots are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30pm. Tuesday finishes at 10ish. Thursday will finish earlier.


You MUST have a UK connection and a good one at that. You can't browse the web or family members browse the web during these shoots. If your connection is RED, you will be replaced.


My most loyal subjects to date are MrTom, Handy 3000 and Chrisnepts who have raked in over 45 turn outs together. There are many more, but these guys are top. That is the loyalty needed. One show up wont land you in the Darknal Crew, but loyalty will get you there.


If you have what it takes to listen and walk around like a zombie on my sets, feel free to apply.


Email me at Darknal@ThakeFilms.co.uk with RECRUIT as your subject.


Peace
Darknal

T.F.S Part 9 Update May 19th

Hello.


Some goodish news. My brother is now back on board so things will now slowly start moving forward. Obviously he's not doing anything too AMAZING, but it still takes time. Having tech issues in other departments but I'll get there eventually.


So, just awaiting two more voices so then can start editing some scenes as some offline shoots have been done, just need to capture them. Need to do ALL the ONLINE impossible stuff that will take a while plus editing it all. NIGHTMARE....


But, things are moving now so not all bad in that respect :)


Kind Regards
Darknal

T.F.S Part 9 Update May 11th

Well, the Beta is in full swing and many voices have been returned for TFS.


Huge issue was reached when this "impossible" thing that's going to be unnoticable hasn't even been tested as my brother is still working on his house, so all the important scenes are being left till last, which will also be the longest bit.


So yes, again as always, long waits ahead and with the ever closing date of the Reach release, ending the series on Halo 3, time is running out.


BUT, some offline scenes have been filmed and just awaiting the remainder of the voices, and I can start work on those. Then the online shoots will follow and the difficult things begin. Bad Times..


Ok, sorry for the bad news but what did you expect from me :)


Regards
Darknal
