Date: known! Sunday, August 13th, 2006
*** If you as a fan are planning on stopping by, please email me and let me know ***
Note: This is not a true convention, but more of a "let's get together, hang out, have a drink, chit chat, etc. There will be no merchandise, booths, etc. If this changes at all, info will be posted here.
Von Interviews ist die Rede lt. dem Fanclub-Betreiber von England, Adrian Andrews. Angeblich eines mit dem Produzenten Richard Bates. Aber soviel ich mich erinnere, kennen wir das glaube ich schon von früher, Colin Brockhurst, der ein Online-Fanzine hat (ca. 2003/2004).
Es ist aber trotzdem interessant, was dort in der "Interivew-Secktion" so alles inzwischen geschrieben und VERLINKT ist!
Allgemein ist die Seite vo Stuart Wyss sehr informativ wieder (mit neuen Updates) geworden.
Naja, wenn ich mir das leisten könnte............ Hab fast Examen hinter mir, zumindest das schlimmste!!! Bald bin ich wieder frei mich hier frei zu bewegen!!!!
Übrigens wird jetzt jede Menge verschollenes NEUES "Bonus-Material/EXTRAS/TV-Thrailer/Internviews, TV-Matial-Schnipsel; Making off 6,18 Min. (was viele von uns ja auch inzwischen in deutsch haben) angekündigt - hoffe auf baldigen upload:
7/8/07 - FOUND : Rare Blue Peter clip of Behind the Scenes of Season 2 Tripods The 6 minute 18 seconds clip recently showed up on torrent download sites. It's a medium-quality video, with many obvious glitches in both sound and picture from multiple dubs and age-wear. I was able to run several filters and re-sync the sound, and the resulting file is about 50 megs. The featurette contains info about the special effects and models, as well as a few clips from Season 2 which show some heavy glitching. I plan to insert clean video from my own Season 2 files. I'm afraid I can't host the entire 50 meg file, but as preview, I converted it to a low frame rate (about 8 fps) and compressed the audio as much as possible. This file is now just under 3 megs and you can download it and watch it.(right-click, save as).
7/13/07 - FOUND: Another Behind the Scenes clip from the TV show Windmill The presenter, Chris Serle, hosted the Windmill show during the 70s and 80s from the Windmill Road BBC archives. This clip is from Episode 2 of Season 2 and shows how the tripod models were operated. It's a small file (1.5 megs) and the quality suffers a little from size and compression, but very enjoyable.
There are 3 more known clips from Tripods. Graham Taylor, long time fan who sent me the original Windmill clip, writes "...there is another that featured the actual life-size tripod legs in the Blue Peter studio - I believe this also featured interviews with the actors but time may be playing tricks on me and Jim Baker should be able to confirm that.... The other two are from UK quiz shows both shown on BBC1. The first was Every Second Counts hosted by Paul Daniels - the theme was played to contestants and they had to guess the programme - they got it wrong by saying it was the The Day of Triffids!! The final programme was Telly Addicts, hosted by Noel Edmonds. A sequence of clips from a certain year was shown to contestants. The clip was from series 1 where the three boys are in the abandoned house looking at the City of Gold for the first time - the tripod has tracked them and to escape, the boys set the house on fire. The clip was shown without sound - a pop song from the year was playing instead. The contestants on the show guessed the year but not the programme.
The Tripods was also featured in trailers and other BBC reviews, some not as favorable as others. "Graz" wrote recently on the League of Freemen listserv, "The BBC review shows, 'Points of view' and, 'Did you see..' both featured extensive though quite unfavorable reviews."
Hm. Also ich verstehe nur Bahnhof - mit der "Weltkarte"... Was hat es mit diesen Karten auf sich? Willst du eine Art Sammlung, wo überall Tripods-Fans zu finden sind?
IN einer der grössten Yahoo-Groups gabs oder gibts doch so eine Auflistung mit "allen Fans der Welt" in einer Member-List (glaube ich )
Wäre dafür nicht ein eigener Thread vorteilhafter? Hier geht deine Bitte doch glaube ich eher unter .... Sorry.
Habt ihr nicht am selben Wochenende euer eigenes Fan-Treffen? "
--> Was ist daran zum Lachen?
OK, ich hätte doch das Smilie lieber weglassen sollen. Entschuldigung Wusste nicht genau wie ich es rüberbringen sollte die Frage.
naja schick doch mal den link an dei fäns.. wann wird das weitergeschickt man kann sich eintragen und man platziert sich dann dort woh man wohnt, so hat man einen überblick,, find ich cool
Klar haben wir da unser Treffen, aber ganz ehrlich, wenn ich genügend Kohle hätte, wüßt ich wo ich wäre Auch wenn ich mich total auf das Treffen freu!!!
