The End in Nigh

Well we're very very close to having everything written and ready to shoot for the remainder of the series, and finally my much antisipated finale "The End". I have to say, getting it out of my head and onto paper, and soon onto the screen of hopefully millions will be a job well done and a sigh of relief. So, what and where are we going with it all? What will be the overall message we give to fans? Read on...

First of all, we return during August 2011 for the second part of A Forbidden Reality by Ryan Gargett. In the original script the character of Jillian was in fact going to become my companion and travel with the Doctor until the finale, but with a few ajustments Jillian will not be joining the TARDIS and the Doctor is once again left alone. This episode will also be the last of the season one.

During recent talks with Marc Warner, owner of MDWTV, we're working on a christmas story together right now ready for release Xmas 2011. TLM were not going to produce a Xmas story this year but now with proper planning we're going to. The story isn;t ready yet, but it will involve a young 1st Doctor running into me. At first I was thinking "not another Doctor Doctor crossover story" but we'll do it in a non lame way. There will be no merging TARDIS in this story. But it gives my Doctor a chance to visit his past so we can see and use certain sets created in world that we've not yet had a chance to show.

And then, in 2012 (unknown date as of yet), we return for our full season two of DW:SL. Our first story called The Fixer which is shooting right now, see's the Doctor return to Babbage after the Angel to aquire Gregory Hutchinson as a companion. This story, for the Doctor is infact a long while in his timeline. After christmas the DOctor goes on a journey we won't see on screen and he returns for Greg for a reason. The Fixer see's Gregory kidnapped 4 days prior to the return of the Doctor by a Time Traveller called the Fixer. We'll get to revisit an old control room from the canon series and see a bit more of the TARDIS also. Anotehr exciting addition is that the Master's control room will also feature towards the end of the story, but the Master isnt present. Gregory and the Doctor disappear on an adventure together, but the Doctor has another motive.

Episode Two will see Gregory and the Doctor trapped on a starliner when something mysterious begins to happen. This episode will reflect the DW story "Midnight" but it'll be a bit more scray.

Episode Three see's the Doctor and Gregory land in Hill Valley at some point in the future. This story will be a universal crossover to the BTTF franchise as something is hidden in the town. We'll also get to meet an old enemy of the Doctor we've not seen for quite some time in both fan and canon shows. We'll also get a message that'll lead into the next story where Gregory is left alone in the TARDIS and the Doctor disappears in a way no one will see it coming.

Episode Four will be the mid season finale which will see the return of the Fixer, Cybermen, and of course the Master! The Doctor is trapped inside an impossible location, chained, beaten and with another person whom has met before but doesn't remember, and the other is the Officer from the Angel and the Fixer stories who we last saw enter the Master's TARDIS at the end of the Fixer story. The ending will see the Doctor fall furhter then has ever before and then some. It'll be left on a cliff hanger until we return either same time 2013 or end of 2012.

To avoid spoliers about the second half of the season, we'll keep quiet about whats to come, but what we will talk about is the End.

THE END, BY KERIAN TWINE
The End will be our last ever episode/story of DW:SL. It'll see the 13th Doctor in his final battle with evil as e tries his best to save creation from the threat of a Dark Lord. The original idea was to introduce OMEGA back into the stories but this has somewhat changed because I wanted to battle someone new and different then OMEGA. The End will feature something never done in animated machinima from SL before, and that is a war. Forces of Darkness will circle the Earth as the Doctor tries his best to defeat the greatest Dark Lord of all time. We'll also have STAR TREK ships, STAR WARS Jedi and Sith and HARRY POTTER death eaters involved along with many Doctor Who monsters and some new ones.
The final scene of the show has already been filmed to avoid spoilers and is ready to be used. But one thing I can promise is that in this story there will be no "reverse of time" or anything of the sort. No reset buttons no nothing. Whatever happens will stay in the mythology of our show.

The growing popularity of our show should see the finale get the maximum amount of views it deserves.

The End will air a few months after the last 4 stories, we'd like to air Jan 2013 or Summer 2013.

The Series - Update

I've not posted in a while, because well...I've had nothing to say, that is *drum roll please* until now. Progress of the Purge.

The Purge episode is nearing completion, and I've nearly edited it fully. The story see's the Doctor wake up on the mysterious Island from the TV drama, LOST where his TARDIS is buring and rebuilding.

I decided after our previous episode "A leap of Faith" to revamp our Doctor Who show, to something more dark, emotional and scary. Even though our Snook is a wonderful set for our hero, I felt a new TARDIS was needed to demonstrate this is a continuation of our established story, while starting new and fresh. So, the TARDIS is first seen on the Island, buring.

Now many questions arise in the first 4 mins of this episode such as; why is it buring and rebuilding? Why was he brought there? And where is the show going? These questions are going to be left open after this episode because we can't wrap it all up in 1 hour. Our story spans quite far, and the Purge is just step 1.
Originally, we were going to have the woman inside the Hatch travel with the Doctor because "thats what she is supposed to do", but after finding it hard to find a female who wanted to continue in the show after 1 episode, we decied to change to a man. They were going to join the TARDIS crew, but we found it better if the Doctor was actually rejected and left alone once more. Therefore he is searching for someone who wants him again. This is the Doctor's final life, so the heartache of being alone is slowly killing him.

The new console room won't be revealed until the episode airs in December, but its a winner. Its different to our previous, while keeping the classic feel and new series look. It suits the Doctor rather well, and we're proud to bring back the St John's Ambulance logo back to the box shell.

Our ememy of this episode; The Cybermen. We've got an exclusive new Cybermen outfit never before seen in any show in the history of Doctor Who, so look forward to that. :-)
We're also introducing something new and fresh into these new runs of story; a second timeline. For those who are fans of LOST will know what it is, but those who don't are in for a treat. All I'm going to say is, at the end of the Purge, you'll be confused and wanting to know why or how the Doctor exists here and why he is regenerating.

The Purge is episode one; running at approx 1 hour due to come out December 18th. Our 2nd & third episode's are Davros & the Daleks, where the Doctor retuns to Babbage 4 years after the Angel to find Greg missing and Davros working on "something wonderful". Episode 4 will see us on Mars; before shooting back to Earth and beginning our long finale with a new race of mosnters known as the End.

The Purge; nominated for an SL award, will air December 2011.

Guy

its been a while since I last posted on this blog, so i thought it was time for a new update.

I've recently released a video called Update. Which explains what TwineLight Media have coming over the next 3 years. I listed a bunch of Doctor Who episodes that were going to be made; this has somewhat changed. Big time.

Due to reasons i'm not going into, A Forbidden Reality is no longer going to be released. The episode was going to introduce companion Jillian the cyborgm but this idea has been scrapped. The Doctor will have companions, maybe eventually a perminant one, but for now he will be alone.

The stories that were written after this episode all feature Jillian. The stories have been deleted. The structure of DW:SL has changed and we have a new plan.
Christmas 2010 will feature something new to SL and TLM. Another Time Lord called "Guy". The idea for guy comes from marc warner of MDWTV inside Sl. He had an idea on creating his own Doctor Who show inside SL, but couldn't get the members to help him which is a shame. Plus, TLM are the only ones who produce Doctor Who in SL and want to keep it that way. So Guy was born.

the origin of Guy is being kept quiet. marc has been trying for some time tto introduce Guy to our screens but has somewhat not managed to. i decided i would help.

A short story featuring the Doctor and Guy meeting, as well as the Daleks will air Christmas Day 2010. Guy will point something out about the Doctor that will actually shake up DW:SL. What you think you know...will go.

We were going to return in the new year with "Every man for Himself" a story about Aliens loose on a starship heading for Home World; earth. In the new year the Doctor will head to Egypt, Meet Charlie Chaplin, New Cybermen, Port Babbage once more, find a hidden planet, fight the Daleks again, meet the master, fight Omega and find out the truth about himself.

Stay tuned. Christmas 2010 just become real.

Review #2: The Sunday Service - Part 2

Well it's back. The Sunday Service Part 2 was a really good end to, dare I say it, strange episode.
The Demon doesn't idenity himself but calls himself The Darkness who is all powerful. Both Time Lords' don't understand why or how they've come together.
This part picks up from where Part 1 left off. With them comfronted with the demon. As I said in my last review, both actors did really well in this and was a really enjoyable episode.
Edward Gizzi, who plays the lead title Doctor has a very distintave voice and one that delivers his role as the Doctor with real realism. Edward has done countless work for TLM and will do in the future, as his voice is one of the most exciting we've got on the production line. He delivers his lines with such with such emotion and effect, that if this wasn't a fan film it would be on TV.
The episode ends with them putting their heads together, as well as their sonics, and blasting "The Darkness" back into the vortex. In doing this, Ryan's Doctor ends up outside the church, smiles to himself and wanders off. So I found the ending....a little...strange. That's not a bad thing, was just odd, but nice to see some mystery.
What happened to Amiee being locked outside?
What happened to Edwards' Doctor after the explosion?
Why did the 2 Doctors come together and was the supernova important to the storyline?
I hope these questions are addressed and answered at some point in the future.

Part 2 gets another 7 Twines out of 10

Review #1: The Sunday Service

Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. Yes that's right, this episode got 3 Bravo's! Why? Well.....I shall tell you.

This time of year see's alot of people who have their own fan series of Doctor Who come together for an ammusing adventure that some would either deem pointless and a waste of time. Well thanks to KatiesNippleTardis (yes..i don't know why its called that either LOL) and gang, we have an other splended chapter to their already cracking adventures.

The Sunday Service, by Ryan Gargett & Edward Gizzi takes place between Revenge of the Dalek's Part 2 and their upcoming finale; The FInal Hour. We pick this up after the TARDIS had gone past a supernova and somehow merged with another Doctor, Ryan Gargett.
Ryan is no stranger to Doctor Who mix flicks. Only a few weeks ago we saw him in our very own A Tear in Time Part 1 & 2, playing yes you guessed it. The Doctor but a Second Life version. I believe The Sunday Service marks Ryan's first Real Life YouTube apperance as his Doctor...finally.
Judging by his apperance in this, Ryan is shaping up to become one of the most remembered fan Doctors along with his co-stars.
Katie Ann Walker plays the likable companion Amiee. I've always liked her character and she gives another cracking and funny performance, as she's left kind of conflicting with Ryan's sudden apperance. Another fantastic performance. She's very kindly done some work in the past for TLM, as well as take on the role of Jillian the Cyborg as of A Forbidden Reality in the DWSL show. Her character in that will be the biggest she's ever played a mysterious, clever characters of the whole show. I can think of no one more worthly of accepting this role.
This episode introduces some kind of Demon looking creature right at the end, inside a church. The creature is from Second Life (as I did the Greenscreen for them). I have no idea what to expect in Part 2, but really can't wait.
Apart from the sound issues in some area's and maybe some rubbish editing, this episode still marks as one of my favourates on YouTube yet.

I give this episode a smart & easy 7 Twines out of 10. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.

A Tear in Time Part 2

Well, its finally over. The 2nd episode of the Second Life series A Tear in Time Part 1 & 2 concluded with many questions left unanswered, a look at the future and a farewell to our lovely Doctors. So let's begin the review from the creator himself.

Part 1
Part 1 opened throwing us into the story, with our Real Life fan Doctor, Julian Bane reading a book inside his own TARDIS. When the cloister bell rings, and he opens the scanner we learn a wormhole transports him from his universe to the one of a Twine.
With our SL Doctor at the controls of his wonderful TARDIS, which is a cross between a classic console and the new series Tennant, he witnesses the arrival of our american friend onto the floor. Before you can say "whats going on" the banter begins.
The movments of this episode, in terms of how it was filmed and the movements of the characters around the console are a bit jiggery and we have alot of still shots of just which character is talking, but apart from that this episode looked good. Granted there were alot of faults with the cutting and editing of the show, but its all a learning curve. The reviews of YouTube were overall 80% positive for part 1 and 85% for part 2, but the main concern was how it looked and moved. A mistake, we won't make again.

DWSL has said in the past, a cross between LOST and Doctor Who would become more apparent as the episodes unfolded, and A Tear in Time was a prime example of what's to come. We have the smoke monster from the TV show come into the TARDIS via another wormhole to scan each of our Time Lords. It makes a swift departure back via the wormhole leaving all 3, and the audience confused. And boom! The episode ends on that cliff hanger. So, what did we think?
Ryan Gargett, Doctor No. 3 and Excec producer of the show was an excellent vocal Doctor along with Julian Bane. Working with both was a delight and something we are aiming to repeat in the future. Ryan has expressed what the audience feel, which I've mentioned above and it's all true, but like I said before, a learning curve for myself in terms of editing and shooting.

Part 2 opened up right where Part 1 left off. But then we're thrown yet another mystery. A woman, who knows the Doctor, appears telling him of A Tear in Time. We'll confirm now that this character will appear in the near future and her questions will be answered.
She warns the SL Doctor of a Tear in Time he must find and repair before the Sound of the End. Yes, this is a prelude of what's to come. Stopping an imposter from leaving his prison is yes, another prelude. The Doctor is on his final incarnation, the stakes are higher then before. The End is Coming for him. She tells him to "follow the numbers" which, we don't actually know yet, but during a flashback to The Angel we learn the numbers are 4 8 15 16 23 42, again, another LOST tie in.
Ryan suggests we land on a planet near where Julian was heading, to allow his TARDIS to land so they can both leave. Earth is the obvious planet and the plan begins.
With the cutting and audio of this episode much better then the previous, I favourate this part out of both. Julian's farewell was quite sweet and I loved filming that part. Ryan tells our SL Doctor of the numbers, which opens yet ANOTHER question of how he knows? As the episode closes, he's looking at his scanner after being told them, when they appear on the screen. SL Doctor looks confused and angry and departs from Earth to an unknown destination. When the TARDIS de-mats, we have a close up of behind it, where we see a future version of the SL Doctor lying on the floor, in the same clothes, laying in blood and not moving. Another mystery we need to solve before we close the show for good.

This story/episode also features the first "Next Time" trailer for Xmas 2010...A Forbidden Reality. Well, check it out. I'm excited for you to see it and that episode is a vast improvment on our previous, The Angel, Time Clash and A Tear in Time Part 1 & 2. The episode was written by Ryan Gargett while filming The Angel and filming of it began a few months ago.

All in all, as the writer, director and creator of A Tear in Time Part 1 & 2...I'd give myself a good 7/10 for visual and effort. Nothing is perfect, but this was good enough for a second episode.

So what future visions did we get from this episode?

Who/what are the wormholes?
Why did Julian's Doctor get dragged from his world, to Twines?
Why did Ryan's Doctor land and not get dragged by a wormhole to?
What is the smoke mosnter doing in the TARDIS?
What was it looking for?
Who is the woman?
How does she know the Doctor?
What do the numbers mean?
Why are they linked to the SL Doctor's regeneration?
Why did they appear on the screen before departure of Earth?
What does the dead Doctor's body mean?
When/how does he die?

When will we get some answers? You'll get a hint next year..but the main answers lie within a chamber. Watch on....

A Tear in Time Part 1 & 2

It's been a while since I last posted on my blog in regards to Doctor Who Second Life, and now I have a reason to blog again. A tear in Time Part 1 went live on YouTube a day early, 31st Aug not Sept 1st.

Part 1, lasting 11:58 mins introducing Julian Bane and Ryan Gargett to the SL universe saw 3 Doctor's meet, argue and meet an unknown mosnter is the second episode of the SL series hit. So, what can we expect from part 2?

Well part 2, picks up from right where Part 1 left off. Having the Smoke Monster from the TV Show LOST depart the TARDIS leaving all 3 confused, we will meet a mysterious woman known as.....the mysterious woman. There are alot of mysteries surrounding A tear in Time. First of all the mysterious wormholes that appeared in Julians universe, the TARDIS and Port Babbage in The Angel will kleep the audience baffled until the very end. Where did the monster come from? What did it want? Why did 2 Doctor's suddently appear inside the Twine's TARDIS? What is the purpose of all this? Well if you're looking for answers, then you'll be disappointed. A Tear in Time acts as another pilot episode, outlineing what's to come, such as the numbers and "The Imposter from leaving his prison". All will be revealed in 2011.

The response to A Tear in Time Part 1 were mixed reviews. Twine Light Media recieved possitive feedback on part 1, with people wanting more, but others apparently reported to doctorwhowriter (Ryan gargett) that they were unsatified with the episode. And we agree, the episode could of been better, I'm not here to make excuses for myself, but considering we're still getting used to filming and editing SL episodes, it'll take time for perfection to come. But I was very disappointed to find that others had apparently run to Ryan instead of coming to the creator, Kerian.
Julian Bane has expressed interest in returning to the show after Part 1, which we are considering. If he'll play his Doctor or not is yet to be desided, but for now we're aiming to have him back in the future.

A tear in Time Part 2 should air Sept. 14th 2010 on YouTube with hopefully a Next Time trailer for xmas "A Forbidden Reality". Out next episode will introduce companion Jillian who has a few tricks up her sleeves.

Stay Tuned.
