“is it me or has the atmosphere got somewhat tense again?” - McGruder

Did you know that Craig is currently filming the movie?

The guy behind the bar at the hotel where we stopped last week informed us that Craig had been drinking in there evry night that week with his script in hand. And that they were filming the movie…

I pointed out that they were actually filming a series, to which he said knowingly, “Actually no, you’re wrong. Craig told me. The movie is being filmed now and the series isn’t until next Autumn…”

That got me so excited….The movie!! It’s happening…..

I heard this too :)

Not sure when it will be released though - I am guessing maybe after the series has finished, though Doug was not clear on this

He did seem to know an awful lot about not much…

What I watched was obviously an episode. That’s not to say that they aren’t filming a movie at the same time, however what I would say is that for both recordings the service entrance has been locked until show time, so maybe they’re filming on the other days.

I suspect this is a pile of poo though, CC was probably just reading the episode scripts…

He was one of those blokes that insisted he was right and you had to just say “Okay” to him and smile. Nice fellow really. Just a know it all who didn’t have time to listen to a shaven headed, hoody wearing long bearded ‘commoner’ such as myself.

How’d you enjoy it Michael? I was the guy who turned up to the pub late and quickly filled you in when you sat behind us at the studio.

Yes it is.

Ah, the old “let’s film a sitcom and a movie at the same time” ruse, eh?

Not that old chestnut.

One of those classic movies with a live studio audience.

You know what… that’d be an idea. A movie shot like a sitcom with an audience! I’d pay to see that!

Well the problem with that is it’s redundant, as you’re in the cinema as you watch it, effectively listening to two audiences laughing at once. Of course, while a film has an audience, it doesn’t have comedy and timing based on that audience’s reactions, but if you want that in a movie-like experience, there’s theatre.

I always thought it’d be cool to see animation done with a studio audience. You could show the cartoon to them with all the animation done aside from lip sync (Maybe mouth flaps or a very rough cut), and all the sound mix aside from voices. Then get the voice actors to perform it live as the cartoon plays, pausing the video whenever there’s a woofer, or they want to improvise or milk the gags. Then slap it on, do the lip sync last, and you’ve got an animated sitcom.

Or just can the laughter and call it The Flintstones.

Even if the inside pages tell the story of Richard Adams’ “Plague Dogs”?

I still remember paying through the nose for that sucker on eBay. The ending was nigh on unfilmable, I don’t know how they’d have done it…

There used to be a signed copy on there which Mr. Ellard wasn’t happy about.

Probably afraid of fraud.

Ah.

Yeah, my bad. Fortunately, I still have one of these beauties in near mint condition. Shipped from NY! :D

Have you not seen these manips before, Dan? I thought you’d have already caught them via the dA group. :)

“The Smeg hits the fan”. So obvious, and yet hilarious.

I’ve not seen them before, no. I have been rather lax with the old Deviantart account.
