Here is a summary of the updates that Ian Bryce has posted in
this thread on
Don Murphy's message board. Some of the news is from yesterday evening, others parts are new.
"Other key crew:
John Frazier - Special Effects
Allegra Clegg - Production Manager
Still interested in locations? If so, maybe I can narrow it down a bit...
Brad Alexander is NOT our pre-viz supe...he works for a company that
did some pre-viz before we came onboard....our pre-viz supervisor is
Steve Yamamoto and he is awesome....
Scott Farrar is the ILM vfx supe
There are two Jeff Mann's....one is a production designer and one is an ILM exec who used to be a model supervisor there...
No cast set yet....soon
though....not accurate to say some faction of production wants celeb
fest....think everyone wants good actors first - if they are celebs too
that doesn't hurt...
General process on robots (which I'm sure many of you are familiar with
- just answering some questions that I see as I can) is that we create
the 2D art designs which, when approved, then get modeled in 3D at
either ILM or our art dept....after that ILM gives motion, shading,
lighting etc based on the different scene requirements....from the 3D
models we can also construct any required live action robot's or pieces
of robots (which we will be doing some of)
Can't be specific about which robots or designs unfortunately....everyone wants to keep a lid on it for now...
robot designs came
first in this case...toys being designed to our robots
designs....wouldn't worry too much about how they'll move...Bay will
make them very exciting....

News story delayed by server downtime TFAuctions.com was 1 year old yesterday and they sent out the following press release to celebrate
Happy Birthday.
TFAuctions.com is one year old today! Our 1st
year has been phenomenal and we would like to thank everyone that has
been involved with the site for his or her support in addition to the
sites that have pushed TFauctions.com as the number one alternative to
eBay. Special thanks also to Guido Guidi, for providing us with a
special birthday picture of the site mascot Cougar.
What's Coming?
After
the success of the site mascot Cougar we have decided to take him one
step further and so have commissioned a very respected model maker to
develop and create a Cougar 12inch statue. This is already in full
development and will be ready for the first preview at this years Auto
Assembly held in Birmingham, UK, June 3rd. We're looking into the
feasibility of having a fully transforming short video commissioned for
Cougar which a major voice actor is interested in providing the voice
over for. One thing is for sure the future is looking good for Cougar.
Site updates will be in place within the next 3 weeks and will provide
even more features to further enhance your buying selling and trading
experience at TFauctions.com.
Custom
signatures will also be available shortly. These custom signatures can
be used on a sellers desired forum/message boards so that potential
customers can access any items they have for sale in a matter of
seconds. The custom signatures will be designed by Guido Guidi and
Tyler Siloski our excellent banner ad designer and will be to
everybody's taste. Just one of the many features we hope to have in
place in the coming months.
It's Free To List!
At TFAuctions.com it's still
free to list your items. What's even better is that if your item
doesn't sell you wont get charged a re listing fee! We can also have
your items re-listed for you to save time, and at no extra cost. All
you do is list your item and collect your money it really is that
simple. We can guarantee that our fees will never increase and that we will continue to provide good value for money to the community.
We
need your to help spread the word for us. We want more Transformer fans
to be aware of the service we're offering. Although the site is now
receiving excellent hits per week resulting in new members signing up
on a regular basis we're disappointed that we can't offer you more by
way of choice. Stats show us that when the items are on there the sales
quickly follow so start listing today and tell your friends all about
us!
