Made a new page...for skits and shorts films. Crosswinds is all screwed up. The only reason I'm updating is because my real website is linked to this page.

Still waiting for the music! I trust that all will be forgotten of the movie when it's released. Changes will have to be made, mainly because of a thing we call "reality"... For the fun of it. I've added a new page for all sorts of my movies. You can see all of my other works and misc films here. Enjoy!

Cast problems and events have set the date back again! However, I did speak to Les, and he now carries all responsibility of completing this film. Then, with moving to a new town, I may have to alter one or two of the voice talent actors. In the meantime, enjoy the summer!!! (if you have it now) Keep checking this page for more info on the film. I apoligise for the inconvienence. :-0 Eric Out...

A VERY special thank-you is in order for Mr. James Ballard! He mailed me this morning, and told me all about Crosswinds.net! This server gives unlimited webspace! So now I have the three movies posted up on there! Thank you James!
In the meantime, the release date for "Trust Doesn't Rust" will have to be set back a little further. You can check out the TDR Picture Gallery to see what's in store, and download the trailer! 'Patience is Virtue' as they say! Les has got some major (paying) clients, so let's wish him the best! The hard work WILL pay off!

Matthew M. has not been in school for over 3 weeks, and Les Mizzell, our music coordinator has not been responding to my mails lately. The release date has been set back...again! :-( We all hope he gets better! We miss him very much!
Anyways, that's the current news...Eric Out...

I bought "VideoWave3" which actually works quite well. It has a lot more special effects, and although it looks quite similar to its previous version, major things have changed in it. As for the movie, it remains at a standstill, and a trailer has been made. My storage server space, Fortune City has gone down...again, therefore, the other movies that I have launched on there (Max & the Bus, Sam Gets Spooked, and Sam & the Trucks) will not work. I also tried registering another name, only to find out that the files I launched on that account also do not work. I wrote Fortune City, and got a reply. I wrote them back, and am expecting a better reply possibly tomorrow. If anybody else knows any good servers that store a lot of webspace, please contact me. Tripod is an excellent server, for homepage building, but I prefer linking my files on a different server!

The film is 94% complete!!! Jenn Haley, Bryan P, Matt M. and myself are all thrilled and can't wait for this film to release. What is even better now is that I have a professional music coordinator, Les Mizzell, working on some background music, and event music for the piece. He has also worked on the animated mock trailer Boids of a Feather. His work is Very impressive, and I look forward to recieving it.
There have been some drawbacks, such as MGI's VideoWave II (the tool used to put the movie together) has become stubborn, and frequently giving me "I/Os" (Illegal Operations). I've faxed the company, twice, and e-mailed them fifty times,(I counted), but still no response. I'll probably have to buy the new version, and pray that it works, or break the film down during the process of production, then piece it together later.
However, was I was able to create a "pre-test" film, with only the sound effects installed. I transferred the "pre-test" to video, which is currently in Jenn Haley's possession. Matt M. has also been having some difficulty, and has been taken to the hospital. I wish him a lot of luck, and hope he gets better, he's not only my Mack character, he's also one of my best friends on this Earth! I can definetely say the same about the others; Jenn Haley, and Bryan P. Look for the film to still be released late this month. Keep your eyes peeled!

School is going easier now. Without the play I have more time to create, and animate. The TC Movie page is gone, don't need it anymore. I've started a new episode (not one with Max and the Train), which is about 78.5% done in animation. It is titled "Trust Doesn't Rust". The holdup on it is the fact that Bryce can go sooo slow sometimes, with so many many textures! I've begun a new level in my new car episodes, such as the debate of no narration...this isn't necessarily kid's stuff anymore...Bwahahaha! I've also got a great bunch of friends working on it with me. Check out this great leading cast:
Bryan P ...... Sam Sedan
Eric R ...... Max the Taxi
Jenn Haley ...... Patty the Patrol Car
Matt M. ...... Mack the Truck
This cast rules! All my best friends in a new car movie! All of them are VERY talented! Be sure to look out for the film on the downloads page when it's done. With so much more work to be done, the current release date is by mid-May!!!

Been a while since I last updated. School's been driving the golden spike into my free time, and therefore, time is precious. Thinking of creating another movie sometime soon, with a race between Max, and a locomotive, (special thanks to Ron Paludan!), who is making Max jealous. The storyboard will be started probably somewhere near the closing of school. I need to pull those dang grades up! I'm also in the school play this year, so I've got lines to memorize and rehearsals to attend. I've been making short cinematics for the scenes that require some transitioning during the set-up of props and backdrops. Welp, that's the news for now. :-)
