Hallo liebe Fans und Freunde :-)
Ist ja nun schon einige Wochen her, dass Ihr News zu lesen bekommen habt. Aber nun gibts ein paar kleine Updates.

Zu unserem Videospiele-Projekt (siehe Forum, Bilder oder Video) muss momentan leider berichtet werden, dass es auf Eis gelegt wurde. Auch wenn ich es nun schon für einige Zeit nicht wahr haben wollte, ist es wohl nun so. Ich hoffe, dass unser Team nochmal auf die schönen Abende zurück schaut, wie viel Spaß wir hatten, bei diesen teilweise Nächte-lang-dauernden Brainstorming-Sessions. Natürlich suchen wir auch noch neue, fleißige Helfer, darunter 2D/3D-Grafiker und Animationsgrafiker. Bei Interesse doch bitte einfach im Forum melden ;-)



Adrian, der allseits bekannte Leiter des englischen Fanclubs, hat zum Jahreswechsel auch ein paar Infos und Grüße vom Stapel gelassen, die euch natürlich nicht vorenthalten möchte. Ich freue mich sehr, dass die Bindung zwischen den englischen Fans und den deutschen Fans wächst, was wir wohl auch unserem Besuch letztes Jahr in England zu verdanken haben. Hier aber nun seine Worte zum Jahresabschluss:

Zitat:
Greetings Freemen.
As yet another year draws to a close, it is a Freemen tradition that I look back over the past twelve months of group activity, and my last posting of 2007 is to follow that tradition.

(...)

At the beginning of the year, the release of the boxed set DVD containing both series 1 and 2 PLUS bonus material looked very hopeful. Everything was set for September and our forums were abuzz with anticipation. Unfortunately this wasn't to be as the rights to distribute the series ran out for Second Sight, but thankfully the new distributor for BBC properties, 2Entertain have taken them on. However there are still very complicated legalities to overcome before we finally see the disc set released. A spokesperson for the BBC told Jim Baker (Henry Parker) that he and his colleagues are still very enthusiastic to have the show commercially distributed, so we will simply have to be patient and continue our campaign to prove public interest.

Our favourite author John Christopher (Sam Youd) hasn't had an easy year. He has spent a period in hospital and the last we heard of him, was still feeling rather frail. I'm sure you all join with me in wishing him a much happier and healthier 2008.

The first of our televisiual treats this year was a wonderful series of doccumentaries about British Science Fiction, "The Cult Of..." which included a full half-hour on The Tripods.

Since it's initial showing on BBC3 the series has had several repeats, but those members who were unable to see it were treated to a DVD copy courtesy of Jim Baker. (Thankyou Jim).

Our Yahoo Chat Room was experiencing huge problems. People were now not only being dropped out of the room during Wednesday chat sessions but some were even being rejected BEFORE entry. Sven (Mailhunter) stepped in and saved the event by allowing us to use HIS room which, up till this point had only been used by the German fans. Later in the year he made some adaptations to ensure that there were no language barriers.

No sooner had the year begun than members were anticipating the coming Summer and our annual meeting. A location and date remained undecided for a while as I had planned a big surprise which took a couple of months to accomplish.

I had entered into negotiations with a Model Collector and Dealer in Battersea to settle a price on one of the original Tripods from the TV series. I was surprised that he had heard of me and recognised my name immediately when one of the original League committee members introduced me to him. He had even read interviews with me on the Internet!

I was told that under normal circumstances the Tripod would remain in his display case, but he felt that by selling it to me, it would be returning to The Tripods Family and would receive the care and respect it so deserves.

On discussion with Jim Baker it was decided that in order not to cause damage to the model by transporting it across the country, it would be best to hold our annual meeting in my home town of Brighton. This gave me the opportunity to not only display the model but costumes and props also.

The meeting finally took place at St. Andrews Church Hall, Hillside, Brighton and was attended by Jim Baker. Our German Chat Room Host, Sven filmed the entire event and is currently taking advanced orders for a special limited edition DVD release. During filming I was even asked to interview Jim on camera which will also appear on the DVD.

Sven and the entire party from Germany vertually reduced Jim to tears by presenting him with a speciallly commissioned painting depicting "Henry's Finest Hour." Henry is clasping the bomb that finally brings down the reign of the Tripods whilst sitting on the huge dome of the City Of Gold.

Robin Hayter (Fritz Eger) has spent most of this year abroad and was sad that he was unable to attend the meeting. This winter he has flown out to Mont Blanc where he is working as a Skiing Holiday Host. He has promised that he will try to arrange to have his photo taken with the famous mountain behind him. Very much a case of Fiction becoming Reality.

Despite all the press releases that were sent out PRIOR to our exhibition in Brighton, there was no press coverage until after the event. On Wednesday 25th September Brighton's "Argus" newspaper gave us a wonderful write-up on page 2. The BBC spotted the article , dug out my press release and within hours of it's being published were knocking on my front door wih a camera crew!

That night a two-minute feature article went out at 6.45pm on BBC South East Today and a thirty second piece was included in the 10pm news that same evening.

Plans for next year's meeting (in July) are already underway and we have secured the location already. (Friday Street in Dorking, seen in series 1 as "Wherton," home to Will and Henry Parker).

(...)

Jim Baker's "Bring Back The Tripods Campaign" is still going strong and the campaign page on the BBC network is a very good source of up-to-date information. As usual I have to urge anyone who has not already done so to register themselves and cast a vote to bring the show back to our TV screens. This will also show interest in the DVD release. You can find the Campaign at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/action.network/g380.

Well, that's all from me for this year. All that is left for me to do is thank everyone who has helped to achieve most of what we set out to do this year; those at the BBC, our wonderful Cast and Crew and those individual Freemen who have helped take a load off my shoulders. And finally I have to thank YOU the members for keeping The Tripods alive. The BBC watch our activities with great interest and it falls on OUR heads to prove that the DVD is a viable proposition.

Whatever you will be doing on the night of the 31st and wherever you will be, have a wonderful time. I wish you a fantastic and prosperous 2008.

Best Wishes
ADRIAN



Ausserdem haben wir noch vier „neue“ Bilder aus der Reihe „Fun with Tripods“. Danke hier an JD, für diese genialen Strips! :-)


Weiterhin gibt es auch Neues zum Thema „Treffen 2008 in England“. Termin wird der 05.07.2008 sein, in „Wherton“, der Heimatstadt von Will und Henry in der Serie (im realen Leben ist es der Ort „Friday Street“, nahe Dorking). Hiermit ist der Termin bestätigt und die offizielle Information von Adrian lautet:

Zitat:
One certainty is our trip to Wherton (Friday Street near Dorking in Surrey). This will be happening on Saturday 5th July and it will be another opportunity for you to meet fellow Freemen. A guided tour of the location is planned and a pond-side picnic (weather permitting). If the sky insists on opening however, the Stephen Langton Inn have agreed to play host to our members to ensure a warm and dry reception with good food and drink. An additional surprise is planned for the day, but due to anticipated technical difficulties and a huge amount of time required to secure it, the nature of the surprise will not be disclosed!


Wer noch mehr Infos braucht, soll sich einfach bei mir mal melden, dann leite ich die E-Mail usw. direkt weiter ;-)


Commander hat sich bereits letztes Jahr schon bei mir gemeldet, leider hatte ich seit den letzten News nicht mehr die Zeit, News zu verfassen, somit kommen diese jetzt ;-) Am 31.10.2007 erreichte mich dieses neue Rendering von ihm (welches wir natürlich auch gleich in unserer Bildergalerie fest eingebunden haben, hehe):


Heute morgen erspähte ich dann ein neues Posting von Commander in unserem Forum zu einem kleinem, animierten Video.


Das Video gibt es natürlich als Download bei uns und als YouTube Clip zu sehen. Vielen Dank, Commander, für dieses wiedermal beeindruckende Stück Bild- und Videotechnik, die du hier erbracht hast. Ich freu mich jedesmal wie ein kleines Kind, wenn ich Mails von dir mit solchen Inhalten bekomme :-)
