New blog, new advert!

Hello again! I guess you've found our new blog then (how'd I ever guess that?).

Let's get the bad news out of the way first - the power of media brings us the news we all know about by now, unless you're fortunate enough to have been asleep for the last 26 or so hours - wish I could sleep that long. Anyway, rest in peace Michael Jackson - very strange I admit, but let's face it, "Thriller" is pretty catchy. :P

On the plus side, the blog has a brand new advertisement on YouTube!






Well, this is a mainly production-related blog, so I guess it's sensible to give you the news that I have been in recording sessions with our actors over the week for episode 21, set to be a "Who-Decorated" mystery, and "Thomas' Model Halloween". As always, the acting is superb!

I am also nearly done with the shooting for episode 21, which should wrap up over the weekend if all goes well. :)

That's it from me - bye for now!

Welcome to the new TTMS Blog!

So let it forever be known that, at 20:52 (GMT), on Thursday 25th June 2009, that the Thomas the Model Series Blog was created!

Well, welcome to our brand new blog! This blog is dedicated to the long-running "Thomas the Model Series", an online series of webisodes based on the loved classic "Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends". Since releasing episode 1 on 31st March 2006, there have been 20 episodes of the series, and we can't forget our two end-of-season specials and the feature film, "Thomas the Model Movie". The series features Thomas and his friends from the books and TV series, but is also joined by friends such as the two brothers, Gary and Steve, and a one-off character from the TV series now gets more to say - the bi-plane we know and love, Tiger Moth!

If you are unfamiliar with the series, it can be watched online at YouTube, by clicking on this link: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=534C3A0A16F0F058

So, why choose to set up a blog? This is so fans of the series can be up-to-date with all in the TTMS world, as the blog can be updated every time an actor has recorded lines, filming has wrapped up, animation is in, episode release dates, what the next project is etc. I am also thinking about setting up a Question and Answer section, so that - well, it speaks for itself really.

There you have it - this is the new TTMS blog! At the time of writing, very empty, but the site will improve over time, so be sure to stay tuned!

Thanks for looking, but "for now, I think it's getting dark - goodnight everybody!"
