Production Blog: 03/11/2019

Nearly six months since the last update, in which I spoke about the upcoming release of "Those Branch Line Engines" - whoops! Suffice to say, the episode has since been completed and released, so go watch it now, if you haven't already. If you like the soundtrack, then Mavis M has once again released the full score on their channel.

So, on to the current episode. Whereas Episode 2 took almost a year to complete (for various reasons relating to time and set pieces that were both in short supply) Episode 3 has actually progressed exceptionally quickly. In fact, filming is very near done as I write this.

Episode 3 has been written by Michael Evans (i.e. ThomasFan8 of "Jeopardy", "Mountain Engine" and "Bad Look Out" fame), and I am sure you will all love it. Michael has even been on set as assistant director, and decorated the sky backdrops with clouds. Mike is even working on some Visual Effects too; I love the outcome, and certainly feel that every episode is a step up from the one before - I hope you will agree.

There are some ambitious sets on this one too, new lighting and some new challenges arising from the subjects of the story. A rough edit with everything filmed so far has been reviewed, and there are one or two pick-ups to do, but otherwise everything is coming together nicely. 

Once again, Mavis is composing the score, and we already have some excellent pieces drafted, including something very special. In addition to my own Instagram and Twitter, keep watch on Mike's social media too for teasers - there are already a couple out there.

The Episode title will be revealed soon, with a target release of a vague "before Christmas" nature. Potentially two episodes in one year? Crazy!
