" First up for episode -- of the second installment of our new series diary of a companion."

" We've got some great feedback on the segment so far and can't wait to hear what happens next."

" And I think this bleaching companion for many years. Recently came across the diaries I kept saying to treat us as a young girl. My daily show how I grew from an uneducated farm but never enough planet. Too well educated in -- McCain. Catering to the wealthiest clients. An army to sentence him."

" I remember my first week as an official companion in training as being very hectic. Punctuated with periods of calm. It's amazing to me still that they could have -- an impatient twelve year old child into her serene woman of many more years. There were medical exams begin to see how much of an education I had the interviews to assessment personality and everything in between. And the whole time I remember thinking what next what next. What would be the next experience -- half."

" Yeah yeah. -- We just grabbed fifteen -- Nolan snatching. Were on that shuttle full. Without a tablet hand picked up by the folks. Three of them -- that -- and shouting critters. I -- seen recruiters follower but they've been trying to get people to join up for the war. -- on capitol Ryan he was not -- and and then later at her pop Ryan that he -- 98 Tobacco -- can't eat at TP Barack apathy and McCain optimist. That aimed at and I was -- that it. McCain is they now have actually. Mr. Lauren and mr. kick out on the shuttle to tabloids in net -- we were on the same means mr. Kelly entities -- the boys are -- you'll need any and that group name is fair. Ms. Nolan said we she -- has will be in the same. Our ports. -- and that's what any. You'll court let's. And say here's parted and missed analyst -- isn't -- of people the last -- it. Was concerned at lax there and then that was sure. We weren't on national two days after everyone else at. And spent the whole time talent at how off the books where. And how you betterment homeless and that it's Laurent told her she was the most well branding campaign -- she ever make. That's what she's -- brand. Means when I was thinking -- thought I'd best keep that Matt sent out. It's not needed I know I was sick to death -- smart treaty Freeney did it legal -- humans. And that week it's meet the rest of the recruits and -- port. -- and -- Sarah. Not currently. Is factory. -- Maybe the rules the Clinton years and I ain't seen by -- but I think he meets an -- as it out scene that it. We got here they had expressed moments we receive. They kept apart from everywhere else in the first few days until the doctors that we healthy. Female asked that was okay for ST together that we couldn't join other students. And mr. Carrey says that was then asked two questions. And that made them but laugh. Mystic area art in -- its options saint partners. There's probably that channel Tina brown where it's. So it was at its -- Jarrett. Or at least been around him. I think how we know instantly. And that's actor's head to attempts. It -- face -- actors to say we have new weird diseases and that's neat etiquette to came in week. They -- and beat -- with Janet witnessed it all at Scott. -- Manson clan and birds to grab that fashion. I'd never seen semi different colors matte black. We had treatment room that they were -- on means Pratt seen much that I'm the change that fact that let me and careless that -- so I tried that stand at the Wyndham patent. Mr. careless in grant the advocates that they Erica art in -- then look at their next years. And Mamie pay attention all right. At a house -- I'd be here can beat him last time. Yes from mr. -- it. I Saturday it's of these people sit -- so ecstatic look of Tennessee -- mail -- a person anywhere from the way they said. Sarah was there seems to some of the Attica is different -- applicant city. At that's at twelve granted. Sit next to me recently named faster and next to him that -- can add an obscene. I don't advocate -- most recruits whereabouts of eighteen but some of them lack younger parents Sam -- that. The current -- eighty and I think she -- at bats that she lent eighty. He did the testing ground. I think now stand but -- get that weren't -- may face secretary and me that made me laugh. Mystic can't cop that acts out paintings. So I stopped looking in at peak in a Canadian she snapped me out snap back. Fastening entrance at sent her. Thinking her brother. I tell there it doesn't lessen. Six bullet in six career we ran greens -- names where home world's current and -- and sponsor from perceptive mr. Garrett said. You -- it's important produced more important that to come to trading at measure. Instantly she it's no intent interest and as an -- they have. They're seeing it -- bit better. I -- Amy I don't know I want. --"

" And."

" Did Gary. Today we had our first classes at the -- worry me. And hate sent in this appeared at told us we'd -- a lot of that the history of buyers and -- and somewhere that means bragging that its stars at the sea and sand like compost. And had an. Anyway we're gonna have class Baptist things to stack. He said each typically happens to be hotter and hotter and much focused. And it seemed we'd know a bunch Stephanie well brand. I can't tell where it don't mean what I thought it did because back Conley -- that -- of me being well rounded and I'm pretty sure they talk about her bottom. Sarah much masses in the ones back home when Samuel back -- passing minutes remaining in the right class mission under didn't even make you -- out. She sent it away and asked everyone to meet pay attention. To it looked artsy base and I think that's worse than being punished. She -- nobody wants her to think portly man. All classes happening one brand and we get -- and teachers coming teach. Teachers DT different subjects Latin -- teaches write history so he had those classes one right after the at. -- dealing teaches math -- I think seeing them iron about manners and sit up property -- Florida that even though model is realistic that -- with them -- now insane and these past that these test -- grade. But it's different. I read a book plants where there was a woman being dress she had big hair and -- outlets haven't party's fifteenth two plates and forks and spends. And they had special spins percentage and special forks benefit and it's pretty difficult instantly. Think you would be next letter. The linking it -- for me right now I might need that step. --"

" The one thing I carry with me still is the friendship and love of the other children who are in my cohort. Even those who did not start out -- France. While some of them left the training house before becoming fully trained companions. Those that remained really did become like my family despite my initial apprehension. Our experiences together may not of the unique in that we -- the only ones to have found it they were certain."

" Only something that would fund."

" Now we don't usually introduce Promos but the promo for the 2009 part -- awards isn't the average --"

" That's for sure now it's technically. Safe for work but it does contain a lot of leaped out swear work."

" So if that's not -- saying we recommend fast forwarding to and a half minutes."

" If that is your thing enjoyed because it is pretty damn funny. You didn't do -- picked. It's hey hey it's what's hot spots and oh okay since I got on these new math and they're mad that I thought that -- Good seeing you sent -- since the politics last year. When you totally lost it emblem of that profanity laced verbal vomit -- man that was hysterical and had to concede there just weren't. She said I have deep emotional scars do. You do yup. There's Sears and the and it's a serious condition and I have to be careful of the work unit put parse things accurately set me off."

" That's what the -- have more than ever since last year's didn't do the park -- sex I keeps wearing uncontrollable."

" Well that is that is it bad -- me say that the that fourth annual -- awards. Will be held at dragon -- 2009 in Atlanta September 4 27. None -- it's okay I can handle the team and -- things. Yeah clearly can people still submit their fiction podcast at www. Put the main -- the awards dot com hell yes they can't. People can go there to nominate their favorite podcast novel short story fantastic new categories like best enemy podcast."

" Best new speculative fiction podcaster team and best speculative fiction music podcast well we can't get people to -- nominee."

" Deposed judges give every award to now Wallace the giant sized. -- boot mastered it I need you and I have been in this game for longer than anyone and we can't keep won't shut up I mean touch. Why -- I won one last. One a lot -- arsenic do you want up and then improbable pars gas rates you know. Well and."

" He thought about. They should dictate that fact it's to get -- and even giving. It a little bit stick sued us out of these guys."

" Every single time I'm the only one left to. Exact ticket total dominance he's got a helmet to track and not damage it might put enough and yeah isn't any flossing what -- Sure strange to have brain washing -- had a lot of -- in the arts and supporters will. Make it. --"

" That's a problem our year end up knowing the both in real life to you can just see them as they're -- those guys are crazy. We should mention that the signal has already been submitted for nomination for the -- six this year so you don't need to worry about submitting this. Alan it's time later in the here I'm sure you're going to hear from us again about so before we play your latest interview we've got some cool signal lose the signal is now on Twitter."

" That's right we're jumping on the Twitter and -- and for those of you don't know Twitter is a sort of mini blogging site where people can post updates at a 140 characters or less."

" Will be using it much like our email address which means you'll read all replies that can't necessarily respond to all of them."

" Williams Twitter account to notify folks in new episodes are released and will post -- it occasionally about important are time sensitive Broncos news."

" We might also use it to post about upcoming podcast segments we've just started our council were still exploring how to best use it to keep our listeners posted."

" So please follow us at twitter.com slash signal podcast and please spread the word about this other Brad -- you know use Twitter."

" If you don't use Twitter it still would like to see the updates we post you could monitor our Twitter posts BR SS -- it's always nice avenue to communicate with our listeners so. Moving right along we've got a new interview to share with you."

" This interview is -- got a brand Sean Hannity and MJ from about -- and it's all about their CG act."

" It was so much fun to talk with a different segment of the bill -- crew and see how another aspect of their project is coming together and I think we learned a lot to."

" Ten definitely. Here's part one of the interview will be back later in the show with the second half and --"

" Today we're very excited to welcome back to the signal even more of the -- the bell flower today we -- enjoying a -- team executive producer director and writer in two members of the visual effects team Scott O'Brien at the visual effects supervisor and Sean Hannity welcome to everybody. -- So exciting to continue digging into the bell flower and all the things you're dealing with -- hopefully coming out later this year I really just want to get down to brass -- To sort of -- Scott and Sean can you tell us how you fit into the production of the bell flower what happens you win here and now benefit."

" Okay hello everybody I'm Scarborough. I think I was probably one of the first people to respond to not when you first put out the -- that he was making a fan film in Melbourne on the serenity knew BIU. The Australians -- Yeah versus. Very good at aha he sets -- all samarra. If -- it is very important connect. And of they wouldn't with -- plus three years. Very diligently I like to think that I probably could have been spinning your vehicle Carmona. The first thing we did was probably not have what the -- plows are actually going to look like. And I'd give up the dropped. The -- well you know they -- expert that's rated program include lightweight treating. That based on -- very simple line during the market provided which kind of look like someone at the front office on the -- who have elected on the front of serenity. I'm happy I've really didn't like it at first I thought it was that looked very DT. And in especially data modeling are really really grew to love -- senator -- I'm glad it's looking as -- as it is now so after I did my dropped urgent. Not contacted Gordon rob -- I got from Scotland who was on the lightweight treaty -- And he just like some Folsom street in models you'd ever seen any -- worked extra suppose. And impeded very high -- hero version of the model. Which is so I actually haven't of the finals also go to -- listening to this can you send me the bottles. Thanks to our status. And he is an absolutely phenomenal job on -- really bringing the belts out a lot. And unfortunately Scholl and -- read into it as well I'm not sure exactly how shall go right into it I I believe knocked down. Did not contact you shortly."

" You contact mark. No actually contacted me it would have been -- And yes bad my memory it's very much okay. You contacted me when you're doing the I also version of the bill flour and ask me if you could use some of my turf like pieces of --"

" And they and Sean got pocketing I think it that's and we used the heat build the new Melvin city. And heated about 90% of the Mobley and securing on the -- wells near Melbourne city. Which when you guys see it it's beautiful it really is a beautiful city and we'll see it in early morning lied to develop cloud goes cruising and duration. And then it's Negroponte talks on one side in this beautiful city on the other adults are old rundown growth he. The cities they're pretty. -- that -- network and and he gave me the model and I completely destroyed it ripped the populist themes and good that's good as he is just a spur exports are products for -- that's about that are of the night just being sort -- some together in this capital -- content."

" Hi everyone my name is Shawn Johnson. I'm doing that the CG support for the bill floor and don't basically creating. Metals. The -- Melbourne city. As -- some support spacecraft for a seat belt. And rendering out a lot of scenes skirts and -- put her own but no render farm. Yeah. Only have two systems so it's not really much perform. Like -- said -- contacted me probably about two and a half three years ago to begin the work on the gulf war. I had just recently released. Dave serenity version for around the TV series. And so common usage truly somewhere. And it's -- to -- that model and I and ripped it apart and put together something that looks really cool. And so why not design she got in contact us -- Who created this -- model. And and I asked what else like to do to help and he said well get started on this coaches and -- you know city. And I worked with any another model -- Named Francesco Navarro hands. Are built the space port from scratch and use some of his marbles or -- he -- sharks. From there are also. Contacted. Some of the Mormon voters in the right -- groups and -- them on board for helping me create some support ships. Then we are more -- to joke that it's we needed a composer. Or of the -- until. And I suggested that a person -- worked with the -- the blade runner chronicles. That what's -- I was no he's he's just doing an outstanding job. With the score so if we're at the geniuses for ZCG. Were accused the genius of music. So."

" Music is very pretty. We featured some of his music or on the signal and that we -- we within our last interview about the bell flower and he is doing a bang up."

" Or -- yes relieved at work. Artist gets ugly like he did the development that they don't generate development ships and the development of the the realism like when you see things from the -- in the city of the morals things you remodeled the -- right. There's a real sense of depth and realism to hook up in the text string and and the happy in the animation so on things -- that -- side. Just adding them to fuel waste you want."

" I was fairly basic questions. Because not okay. So we are taught about modeling you're talking about trying stuff on the computer is -- That is great idea but it surely not -- visualize -- making diesel models that tree leaves them -- a spectacular architecture or architectural models."

" And I'm not -- are defeated notre under the -- you can make. It's a lot like that but in the street -- We asked him what little little little trees with who are 3-D. No I mean they're -- of the original treaty. Although I must admit that treat that you will see in the new -- I literally had these final night of just two dimensional I thought. Could it tens of thousands of them. Then when you say produced -- little portraits so good. -- Software but I think shoulder actually thing the parkway and Britain does get felt like they should do an update and keep people's -- beaches or actually our -- the couple quick shots of -- When you to detain strikers so cool. They going to now line item you're talking. Yes okay. Well I want to follow along with -- question. You know one of the things do you use went and talked about earlier was. It is in both and you mentioned this is each week each other models. And tear them apart and reassembled and another way he's you know I I don't know anything about the 3-D technology you're using that wouldn't leave it to facilitate that group. Interoperability."

" Okay all the people on the visual fixed payment as magician on myself and Gordon has is that another -- on people for the bulls are contributed. We always a current cold lightweight treaty from music. Probably the most famous people to use it it environment what one of the most -- would be so it studios. We did all the effects that are Battlestar Galactica and also the potluck everyone should not that. Sales -- used to program the same program that -- using and when you creates an object in these three -- program. You're able to manipulated in any way shape or form bicycling so it -- for instance -- builds a else. I can't argue that mobile perhaps to somebody else I could change that -- like a tight little -- all that site for instance if they like the window frame. I could type that's when they're trying completely away from that mobile efforts there are mobile. So you you can reuse it -- did you have in front of you. And most of the models on Don I think in the las -- needs and nothing using this software I've really only done about. Maybe twenty models completely from scratch. And the other hundreds of models have done that opening. Grab something that you kind of life. And we're gonna -- me grab some more bits from something else -- sort of do this conglomeration. Of pieces together and and make something. -- completely different and it's -- also -- like what my main job actually used as an online applications developer. And it's the -- writing web applications you can you grab code from. Five different places to build an entirely new program and -- coherent."

" Very cool all but explain the yeah I I think I did that look how I think surety it would work I I may be computer geek but I'm not. 3-D rendering geeks so thank -- for filling in all the detail -- you want to add anything to that."

" I could say that I aides have created probably. In the last ten years and a thousand models. Rounds. On contrary to Scott's skills most of mine were unique so. It all depends on what it's you're building -- time and valued --"

" Well. There -- good motto I'm not. Okay Harrison. I'm I'm really good at taking people's mobile and making something cool -- that animation and and liking it really well. That I'm not a particularly good model which is why I get people much better than me to do pull me and -- look at. Oops. I believe that that's yeah that's what knocked out but today America."

" This chart I think Scott's should be commended -- he's some. Skills in the animation -- all of -- incidents -- blowing stuff and very very difficult stuff. With our oceans and planes and lighting and just just. Yeah sitting at the ships and everything sought."

" Yes I think that's awesome I'm also -- world would like that you'll have to right now please do. The Orson -- came about win. I had a model that I had started. -- back in 2005. When the original surrendered he may be -- sides. Was -- and they had a competition for people. -- designed like ships that had been in the serenity some and -- sort of -- style but. And mock wanted a very large hole transport ships or something that beat. Something that's very old -- almost to the point of the generation machine. And you know something that being in the family. For many generations possibly even spiel shortly after the the first habitation of new system in business. And I -- adding to it and adding to it and I got this huge -- to. That kind of Vermont immune to those. And the more I looked at the marble just a big social floating in space between two multiple. Listing audible -- was. The great two lead. And I been played on that and eventually came up with people and generate. So they get that women -- model B Bolten Jerry comes from the great -- Because it looked like it big terrible floating in space. And it's just like realized that he can't look like its little head to head. Lots of other -- panels on the -- and and the coloring to make it specifically like the big -- so it's. And for me it's no idea who's the great who we knew that they should read more and look at -- everyone knows immigrant couple. -- stretch it mean. I can basically admitted he sent to connect either firing but it's not quite funny together to get a minute only that's her game from. I actually took a bit of a nightmare from. Oh my god -- I'm actually going to make a reference to Babylon 5. Era anomaly that it's. Does that match I was actually what got me into using the trading program -- security. I -- I believe it and didn't abroad hallowed yet we've got videos that he -- is -- most of the ships coming -- Babylon 5 and he used to do is look at seeing you and say I'm gonna make it into a spaceship so if you didn't see in the -- Babylon 5 it's not like you know. -- So about a politician thought that'd be cool seeing frustration and so basically -- it looks like about a politician. And a source water on the main blue that looks horrible and built and shipped to this reminiscent of a -- And I sort of social and I don't belong to the united. Take my kids from the breakfast and a built a total. Ownership and they know and then we get to almost blown up. Grumbled -- and I think. After I had turned it into what was -- the total I wasn't happy with it and so of course a guide to -- make it better and -- It'll look abusive and this at a specific -- technique which. Which like I kind of was on the Yankees sparingly and and I saw how -- put it on the model that I can yes -- can put it everywhere now."

" you can actually. I was gonna say speaking of rust buckets. And we also got a hold. And so. In the UK and its name is resold com. He's done work upon the Harry parker assumes. No point to him on cloverfield. Got an unlucky. Yeah Dark Knight. Stardust this world. And done we asked -- he committed to the reaper models toward the end zone and he got a boats. The C a 100% don't want to modeling and about 10% on the tech string. And his. Real life work -- to be so much that he was not able to hand them over to me and I finished out to extract. And done so -- the feedback has been very constant doubt. Cool."

" In those who have actually that's garner of their readership and of serenity and herself. He sold the model of the readership and was very impressed with the level of pickup. I'll probably. I would have to get it it's actually probably a little bit won't they tell them a model used in the television series that -- us. You get really close you know mention it if you and it still looks very. Very very real."

" That's because so more -- Thompson higher resolution textures. It doesn't. This is definitely -- beauty. And I think -- I want people sit up there on the on the big screen who have it don't happen projector and a big screen it looked very pretty. I'm just can forward to seeing it is that I would want to think you mentioned earlier room. Big hero model is that when you mean by it is seeded model with just. A lot more detail both farmers model and texture respective. -- really close."

" That's -- when we do like the original rom and the medical people the automatic which is just. Basically almost the equivalent of like blocks. You know especially Israel can represented -- and you know with a -- and hold it in front of -- leaders should machine Jamaican men around trying to explain to someone. What you want a shocked look like. Are -- to be equivalent of that in the -- programme using a very very low resolution model. We absolutely no date Howland and very little -- on. And in that way you can. You can Rijndael which is like actually disputed draws out the saints and the picnics very quickly. And -- From that you can all c.s are dropped multiple in place called the the automatic models which gives you a little bit more they tell. Think we're gonna refine. With a shot sweet you know you can -- getting close on a certain part this year you need to see a bit that they coveted and in the hero and model which is. Substantially. Larger. And has who -- column and here remodeled the -- probably one of the one of the biggest -- sort of work with. As far as state house concerned because -- Gordon broke through that thing he he really built this study should get the camera -- product mix of the whole. And and that's just also. And the the -- and trains you as well is do they get very close team and not lose any of the other party town for the third. The resolution is just that great moment. My -- way to get to see it off. Hopefully hopefully you might actually get to see some of these things a lot sooner than -- the -- done. Actually good luck token that perhaps the thought what you blitz and what you're doing this."

" We got together -- shall -- together at these community LA convention. In 2007. And -- with -- gore who's the pendant that. Complete. And he asked me what to do so. To -- work on what's called the servers it's it's our whole series three military here. And done. Once I was done with that. It displayed so my other work including those things to do with the bell flower. Hands. He offered. To help promote the -- So if you ever seen the beginning of the movie you will CT. Two on the -- there because they -- to -- And done recently we gave their neighbors and CG images. And it's kind of asked him to set up on fire -- works. Little segments for the financial including. The bill -- the -- and shade to. They're readership. The -- Melbourne. Some of the other support ships like the white choir and the rolling thunder. Each of those models to let this create our team and we. Had given. -- life in the background there own. And Andy is gonna be putting that on the car flying -- works. So. You'll be seeing different at different intervals. Different little -- users that we know. You're gonna do what you're going to see in the film. Not only you know work in progress and engines but also actual lenders from the film."

" That's great -- is awesome -- support. Everything that's going on in the first."

" Andy is actually trying to help us -- getting -- well accepted as an official Canon vehicle and move us. Which I think it's absolutely fantastic -- somebody's sons of former somewhere in city. That the -- well the sense like -- transport is actually a real should in the this nexus -- special. Rate is about as diet and -- a geek I do plate the the role playing game. Of do you Al shipped as part of through the the spotlight game I mean."

" You're listening to news from the -- Brought to you by the signal."

" I'd be asking some of -- a couple of clips you've released so far and I think special speaker 10 acute markets and over to me. How did you about capturing the blue look and feel you know -- what you've done really not just in the shift that you may need but in the how it displayed looks. So much like firefly like -- a lot of one of -- always impressed me about that the PDI and firefly was. How it was all perfectly -- you'd see things off and Ehrlich a cameras really tracking it. And if Clinton had focused hey how do you feel about -- relieve the he had that. --"

" Don't -- these are they doing he's really developing the the general atmosphere all. He simply couldn't conceive and you can -- gore -- atmosphere from. The best you know I'm making people feel like -- back there again and it's it is and it's suspended in Tennessee GR and -- how they've gone to earth atmosphere. Blogging -- list -- it's very it's neat now."

" Just shoulder. -- some things ultimately it is it's pretty much setting up your own film studio. You take your sexy take your models you create an environment you create grunting. And guns from that you. Can move the camera around Chicago. Roll through C compliant through city you can make it so that it attracts certain objects. And that type. Filming. Can be done just by setting up -- cameras. To do specific sharks in specific -- So with the new Melbourne scene that you talk about even realistic fighting it. That lighting is basically Brady Bunch of what we call whites. Point likes. You know or spotlights. In a given area. With a certain value and that value couldn't. Range from very bright to very death. And depending on how it acts and focused on the scene -- projects different types of shadows. And what we call on global illumination. Creating something that looks like -- is parents want to all the objects. And it's creating shadows. Darker in some areas wetter in others it's just depending on how much how many objects are on the way here casting shadows that location. What was the effect of Melbourne. You've got all of this scar would mention to number as well as all Whiting. -- arms and the talks and the streets -- And the building sites. And each one of those produces a certain amount of white -- that's rendered out. All those different fields and settings. Not create the effect that you're looking for."

" And just on that lighting but he had to him over the city. When you see our people are impressed because there's well over sells lots in the final -- It's it's very very. Very -- in second life and and I believe the marine. What we call the lighting and read. Which is like for mine sent out to disarm and all the ambient lighting. But on -- grip on planets and in space. He's so actually taken from Battlestar Galactica. One of those judicial -- people from Battlestar Galactica has posted the same watching and good values and of course. In the great tradition -- using other people's slipped. I grabbed guests and about a model that's partly for output since that's not stuck with it correctly the locking. I'm still working on at the moment. It it seems via a bit of variation. Going -- like between different computers. Some the imagery and it looks a little to dock on enough machine that on -- machine that's really brides. And we need sort of work at a balance there and and trying to get everything absolutely perfectly."

" Looks like some of the scenes that I created for the creation. Of the toasters. Yet those looks very good on the monitor both look very dark on paper. That's right at the -- you have to -- all the different mediums these transferred to a different mediums we can look completely different. And he actually really like it reading. And obviously a lot of the original sparks fly episodes. Charles went further the brother stylized -- which is. You know sort of closely -- to -- if you're in takes place there's almost -- life seeking your planet you a lot of ambient light. And and in fact recently shown and -- sure what knock and I. Actually went through you that a few of the firefly episodes. To refine -- locking -- and found that in a couple shots please see apply applies. You know during half the planet is -- just good luck everybody. You know I'm not not actually following really -- and just taking a few create -- shortcuts. Because it is such a cool should look at sort of you know and you won a lot of activity to learn a lot should unbecoming from the front. We have -- if you if you those liberties as well we felt well. To -- in the in the very opening -- be the original opening shot all you put the -- profile. But it's it's quite -- sweep around the sheep and in the -- approaches to new deployment of new Melvin. Thankfully seeing the document brought out the -- of the goodness we've done that fit you know wouldn't even in the raid siren system which has to process starts. Which means that I can use a lot from the main some. And and I can despite what coming from pretty much anywhere it wants to -- the receivership and if anyone says -- to product and take it apart restaurants. What -- protect -- orange and yellow glow coming from mysteriously elsewhere it. And at the not a good evening but it -- twelve extrasolar Russert tells me. Because schools the main tunnel just use brought so PLO's style command and you know behind the planet is very pretty -- putting up on the work lovely weekend to put the first five minutes. How much can you confirm that quantity found was gonna put the first five minutes off -- the."

" Going back to what you -- talking them for not she was very particular about matching define styles. By camera work. So in -- well to what they beat ED original TV series. As opposed to what they keep the movie the movie didn't have quite as much at first -- salute. Almost documentary style film making -- just trying sweet camera and capture as much as you can. We -- mean you know being not always been focused and overweight and trying. Being -- that he must be tracking a -- that means suddenly have to swing all two units look at something else but. Probably he knocked it wanted to the and sort of much camera movement so two. And when you're designing your treaty saying you can actually place the cameras. -- it's just Skinner took little object -- you see the camera and it looks here. You know its position here and rotates Kia and you can also adjust the the -- with our points in the lanes as well as does do mumbling. So you can be mutually in the trading environment treat the camera as people laws -- real camera. And the only way to do -- just to look at the white spotlight on and try to capture the signed sealed. Which I I think we -- A local. And in fact I'd -- too -- shall. And shall not often we come back a little beat then not every single shot at atlas planes in or not appropriate you know -- tracking points. -- of kind of kind of back a little bit now so that we do have a few planes -- that -- judgments in it. And I think I'll bet salute added to the same sort of stylistic approach. And make stuff look a lot like spots."

" I think it's very important. As a team. That we take care and what we believed to be tossed his vision of the future and turning to something that we complete and."

" Definitely. -- trusting you you hit the nail on the head as far as measuring up to visual style and matching with what they didn't -- so it could be it could see he --"

" And you guards because isn't carries actually seen. So with this ought to sit minutes. Am oh yes super shiny it is because he's yourselves look very -- raise a lot. It's an Indy 300 made all three make in the united to the very low res and and they actually being and also much -- drops in the being re branded to harvest distraught and actual -- of the doing harm tossing back and forth to. -- it says the real and they vary in pack for what usually that's an important. --"

" Who will say that first opening scene in united in full resolution we've we've all those wonderful music from Bentley behind it. And initially to -- you just go wow. You try to we've really really wanted -- much wow moments with us she's fifteen minutes of the film."

" No we've got so many cheers and the creation -- about what. Just those first seven minutes. Thank goodness I."

" I'm gonna at least annually Simon have a -- wouldn't he's got dark."

" Let's look -- think -- got this seven minutes I showed it to a couple of my I had brown -- friends here. And they were all like wow. So as --"

" Just dropped some urgent help fantastic it's gonna look once everything's done in -- final."

" And I got a tip my computer to my -- big TV and politics Green Party --"

" Definitely. I was asked if you had me update says two -- you'd think he might be done. It's not --"

" In a well what that's because increasingly. I've actually had a serious let's -- electric Christmas. -- just it just quit my job. Ticket into it.

For at least another it's been. Since. Auctioned it's it's it's at least another if I'm lucky and 34 weeks and then get into the editing back into editing arm. Sight of I think it isn't the life of me and I stalked Sean and the -- In the CHR department kill themselves. Are going to have the best bet was still that shouldn't Centralia hey Scott I reckon. Yet to announce it's the talking it's looking really really it's a pretty good thing things. I'd do it but that's pretty serious critic com also dragging -- a little bit. Bit. I'm hoping I don't think we'll make comic tone I want -- to do another trial --"

" If I'm -- and it."

" If we can we cannot release the comic art rather do it another trial. I'd -- my tracking calm and really really woods it's just. This comedy there is. With respect to me and getting. And rebuilds and adjustments and with what we're it's that we might collect votes attempted to. Are not a -- July July it's not a success like checking on. September did this -- can."

" And I think maybe we will have another weekend of editing and actually do some editing. But most of Bedard not a market actually know them in stride and I mean -- which is without fully that 750 kilometers away. I loved him that a -- don't like all the not to go out of her art it flu death Melvin to spend the week in please. -- it is these that we had all these plans -- going to spend the entire weekend we're gonna see so early in the morning. Get -- I did not at all we'll going to do is edit edit edit and do and fanatics developed well. Many episodes of surrender the lighter and spent you know -- 500. We got some editing done. Now we -- committed had to be done we drink this champagne a couple of Beers. -- And got some work done. So hopefully if we can do that again -- are we might actually. Really make you consider it if it I must I must admit that it's not that it's not entirely you know I'm anyone's fault it's just a little bit I think we don't -- you think that's just been eating with the cool. It sounds like -- or doing some important research invaluable team building -- three dollar us yes yes watching the episode the spotlight and so that we could downs look at the locking. And originally we were only going to you know what you because you wouldn't be here and it'll be there and immunity episode would not veto are really lucky episode. This whole thing. But yet it was it was visual effects research."

" there it was it was necessary. That's -- necessary to build."

" Very necessary. And ultimately it. Billion capital group."

" A must truly apologize to seize the general forty -- general fans despise. And that is taking long -- were very conscious. How long it is taking are aware of what to think it would be a long way ahead and put in -- traits she -- now with -- It's just these things happen we've -- Sam Rivera talks have not tried yet to own it's what we do little we've released. -- divisive -- little baseball's pars just because you just wanna block towards apology really in in months and say who we're really sorry it's taken so long. Please be patient response."

" Partly it in about another month we will have enough material put together a new trial. I was talking to market data and mouse down there and I'd probably something that old try to put together and in. Mostly from the -- stuff. We just a few little bit of a -- actually turn -- I think I'm sure nothing nobody here at the half and actually get into. Of extra work he's right. That my belief he he is doing some -- some real work. Circular mix as well as us he had a family as well but you know you can put all that aside. So do you keep in this post but I need to get -- well. Under arms -- not going right now also send what you can go back. Excellent. It's tightly controlled Tibet trying to make -- make a film while love working -- real job and also having apparently."

" It. Anybody who knows me now and knows that I take car and probably. Twenty more projects and I actually can get done. And -- I -- at. Presence besides working age forty to fifty hour week job. And doing it and online tutorial I am working. And three projects or -- max. And I am also doing some personal projects on the side. As well spending time it's my wife and it's going to turn to enjoy some TV time. She's a slow a lot of stash him yeah --"

" If you're like that includes. And they're throwing -- on study as well and and trying to secure exams while also trying to make tight deadlines. Getting rendering stuff gets pretty interesting."

" I definitely feel your pain. Requests making coming previously on well I thought. Wanted to stay in my opinion humble opinion. There's lots of well effective in this -- because -- yard here I mean if you're if you like it's the other thing sequence which. Thank -- seeing nothing it's it's really impressive I think."

" I can't time it scientists and I got what I guess the -- What you were saying about you're you're you're you're apologizing for you know business to do leave immediately why it's taking so long but. The way I see it that's just your commitment to quality you're not gonna. -- mortar and rocket -- her right to vision just to get out your prematurely you're gonna be sure to write."

" You're absolutely what I think -- it's tinged Saddam. We -- the best alternates and Scotland down and and just -- his magic eye of the edit and it did. It did -- tracked it to just listen to another level. And with its just amazing -- in -- and good editing. A good editor of the -- of their own place on two minutes it courts are really try to talk like writing in lots of stuff and yeah it's that we really would do the best I can. But it was the one to always call blows it all along is that in the race continues just not a very sick and it gains you the net world. But we can achieve that -- be ripped out that form a floor also -- that -- yeah that's always wanted to."

" She did you know it -- the -- be regularly and -- what you have. Casey can you do you think we do anything -- and and I think -- buckle your personal decided that from I don't I don't pay."

" Not enough -- lot of people to get done. I think that's true I think this yourself eating better at. I think that the real production team is just excellent -- your excellent and I'd sit in once it's very very -- minutes with him. We just commuted should be. Ask. On the one thing is that it's it's been a great relationship between CGR and actual filming under 300 because. You see the -- gonna say it's and then that would reflect back to see you aren't and -- would -- they came a little bit it's pretty net. I'm in -- quick to spice party that's -- with correspondents around that that -- still support that -- self supporting. On the phone with Betsy jargon has no that's actually good will be peace -- had cobbled sets and apparently because the background. Today it's little of each inflicts on itself and I aren't funny children."

" Well we just talk about the six collects a second because I think every every single into the August or mentioned the State's unbelievable. I cannot believe the amount of work that we keep doing this it's not think when you see the film. If -- certainly I mean originally it was the breached the copy to receive a -- phenomenal. And in last year the filming of the bizarre despite the stuff. But it did not in the guys had been the -- despite -- absolutely phenomenal. And I'll use that would allow the capita use and you would it was all. Do that now word got out. It was murdered engine data -- the parents and -- a I literally thought it was going to be -- top prospect but. It wasn't it a little you know bill that had stuff that moved and flashing lots it's going to have the -- lots. And it was actually just an L -- corridor that once they leave it and put a few people in there it took on a lot of the time and again. And they are really think that's going to help speed amount of dedication that going to -- what they told going to help solve this film. As much as -- TGI all the music will be acting or anything else. Yes so I definitely won't. -- thank you mark Scott and Sean heard joining -- signal today it has been a pleasure thank you heard -- deep on the PG -- and I. Many of us were just so excited before the bell flower even more so now. Saint anger that's -- it could be he could inflict on our duty. You need need to of course mentioned in the event that very today Australian that they -- in just two days in to illustrate tradition -- We celebrate the woods to seat in Australia's military history. -- If anyone out there has no idea what exact date and Australia rent a movie very early eighties movie with Mel Gibson and called illegally. And to keep up because you know these very early eighties but thousands that's probably the -- by the -- Films indicative of the and it pretty."

" Date and now I'm gonna go try that included use. Fantastic. We've got to understand. Thank you so much."

" Next Jane Baldwin talks about one or not so secret obsessions in her editorial about being in becoming fan fiction junkie."

" And -- and I -- home."

" There's several places that are hungry then can find some expansion of the entire libraries. Fan fiction is prevalent on many fan sites including firefly fans dot net and fan fiction dot net. These pictures familiarize yourself with the ratings system that abbreviation before you died. I myself going through page after page of some of the best writing I have ever seen in my life. And being drawn into the plots at numerous offerings by some of the greatest storytellers who -- the Internet. They're doing this for love and it shows in every where they -- keeping those who continue to follow their stories in treaty in on the edge of their seats. They -- the fan fiction writers of the firefly and the world of fan fiction is different than some other aspects offend them and that is something which makes it rates. There alternative universe is and maybe some original characters that joined in with the familiar faces of those characters the -- now. Fan fiction paint beautiful pictures too literary arts and sometimes rebels and novel with a link and superb writing. With the blossoming and growth of the Internet fan fiction has found in -- among those who create more stories with which they are familiar and characters that seem like old friends. And also think writers outlet to express just what you think might -- that. -- phantoms to not allow its expansion. Saying that it interferes with characters which has been created and also infringes on copyright held by the owner of character. I don't see it is being harmful and in fact it's sometimes converts those who have never heard the phantom prior to reading about it. They somehow stumble upon a great firefly fan fiction whether through crossover or other means and then start to wonder about the basis for the story. Then there's another drowned and was born into the ranks of one of the greatest shows of all time. I'm not saying we should step all over the creators toes because they're the ones who blessed us with these characters to start. If you want TI's existing characters she should probably keep with in the character's actual personality. And it goes illustrate that they don't resemble the actual character anymore. It would be too much to sea shepherd dog killings children but something which -- speculate about his past actions would be fun and exciting. This could be in character and maybe give us some idea -- we never thought of before therefore expanding on something we've all wondered at some point. As I pour over the abundance of fan fiction I find myself thinking wow I never thought of that and I think makes me bigger fan because now I find myself watching with intensity as they try to think about what was going on behind the scenes in particular parts of Ceres. Speculation may be the best part of fan fiction and the ideas continues to generate injects the whole universe the so much more to explore and so many worlds to this it. Fan fiction has taken hold in the fire flavors and there are many who are working tirelessly on their next masterpiece. There are many great places and stories which just didn't have time to be explored in the short run of the show. Many writers pour their heart pencil for the small audiences. And they usually have a spanking for more. So if you're interested in -- fan fiction find some quiet time and kick back with a few -- alternate stories from diverse. I can give you some of my favorites but the best part is the hunt for the Japanese thought -- would never expects. If you look hard enough and scanned through enough stories in Nike glad -- cheated. If you're patient and can't stand sit still that long and perhaps cruising their reviews of several stories we'll help you get your bearings."

" Whichever way you plan to down. Make sure you enjoyed it continuing stories of the."

" So before -- this episode I wanted to make some cool news that we heard recently. It Phil Rossi is podcast novel crescent is being released in book form."

" That's right until contacted us recently looking for a way to get some brown -- involvement in drumming up some excitement for the -- release he's a huge brown coat and -- story of crescent was actually inspired in part by firefly so if you have any ideas -- us an email will forward those ideas on the sale or you can head over to crescent -- dot net and dropped -- line."

" It's just a really good time for podcast novels going into print anyway last week -- on Ellis is Munich Kimberly the merciless became available on Amazon as a -- book and the --"

" Truly special right here at the end of season one."

" So the rumor is there's there's this thirteenth episode that just did. It's not related entirely to the entire you know storyline -- the first twelve episodes but the rumor is I'm -- stressed that you know adult businesses totally just hearsay that he made the thirteenth episode on a shoestring budget to prove to fox that really good quality TV doesn't have to be expensive and you know knowing Josh and his work -- doctor horrible it's totally believable."

" Yeah I was but they did security prove that with doctor horrible well yes."

" But he proved it again. And a to a network so yes it's neat that. Probably you know -- just. Missed it."

" Definitely."

" Well that's our show we hope you enjoyed listening keep sending us feedback find this on Twitter and keep."
