It's all go at Christel Films...

Over the last few days I have finalised the episode line up for Series 2 of Christel Doctor Who, finished episode 1 of ARNIE, and submitted an episode to Burkey, who is coincidentally writing for this series, for his very own animated Doctor Who Series. (More Info Here).

Over the course of this coming week I expect to be able to release the first information about a release date for ARNIE (Hopefully in the form of a trailer). I am also hopefully going to release some more information about some of the episodes in series 2 of Christel Doctor Who so make sure you stay tuned for that. I know it sounds a tad cliche but after finally getting the episode lineup finished and ready this new series is really going to be a roller coaster ride and hopefully a step up from series 1.

Series 2 - Production Block 1

Estimated Time of Production: Mid November to Early December

4 Episodes in Total

Episode 7. Picnic at Asgard, Written by Burkey.

Episode 3. Death on the Line, Written by Blink.

Episode 1. Hearts of Stone, Written by Captinfranko.
Episode 9. TBA

Note: This block of production is aimed at doing the episodes that have been written by the guest writers for the series. It gives me longer to work on the scripts I have to write and allows time for the writers to fine tune their scripts.

Series 2 Production Blocks (Update)

I am in the process of updating the sidebar on the site with information about some of the episodes of series 2 of Christel Doctor Who. At the moment the episodes are arranged in their production blocks and as I am animating them I shall endeavor to update the posts with sneak peaks and 'set reports' as I have been doing with the Christmas Special.

ARNIE Episode 1 Synopsis

Production is now well underway on series 1 of ARNIE and I am pleased to report that I nearly have the first episode finished. Below is the episode synopsis...

Series 1, Episode 1 - The Hunt Begins. ARNIE is something special, an extremely advanced futuristic robot who is trapped in the 20th century. With only his new friend Sargeant Parris to help him ARNIE must now begin piecing together the clues about his creation, but Firstly, he must retrieve something very dear to him...a computer chip; the only possession that he remembers having has been stolen and it could provide all the answers that he needs; Then again, it could bring about a lot more questions...Who has stolen ARNIE's chip? Who is lurking in the offices of Nimth corps? And just who are the Vespalax?

I am also hoping to produce a trailer at some point this week or next giving details of the release date for the series. The good news is that there isnt long to wait though...

ARNIE Production bgins in earnest.

Over the course of this week I shall be concentrating on completing production on Series 1 of ARNIE. I have set myself this time frame as I need to start thinking about Christel Doctor Who Series 2 and this week is perfect in which to get the five episodes of ARNIE finished. That means that you can expect a (Launch Date) trailer for series 1 of ARNIE by the end of the week and episodes synopsis as well. Stay tuned for more info.

IN OTHER NEWS

Burkey, who is writing for series 2 of Christel Doctor Who, has today announced new information about his series of Doctor Who, based around his own version of the 12th Doctor. So be sure to check that out Here.

Tabitha's New Look (Part 2)

As promised earlier here are the first shots of Tabitha's new outfit for the Christmas special. The two shots show the new coat that she will be donning to cope with the snowy conditions that will occur in the Christmas Special. Enjoy...

Tabitha's New Look (Part 1)

I am currently doing some more animation for the Christmas Special (How the Doctor Stole Christmas) and I have finished working on an addition to Tabitha's wardrobe. The reason for this addition comes about due to the presence of snow in the episode and I couldn't bring myself to send poor Tabitha out into the cold in just her trademark black top...so coming later today will be exclusive new shots of Tabitha's new outfit for the episode including a rather dashing long coat. Stay Tuned!

Christmas Special first Images

Below is the first image from 'on set' during production of the christel Doctor Who Christmas special. I was doing a test shot with the new snow covered set and thought what a great shot it would make as a first teaser. I promised snow, and snow will be duly delivered. Enjoy.



More shots will follow as production steps up.

Production Updates...

Although it has been rather quiet post wise this week, I am happy to announce that production schedules are now beginning to kick up some gears and both the Christmas Special and series 1 of ARNIE are beginning to take shape. As I reported earlier on I have the script for the Christmas special finished now and I have already started tiny little bits of the animations.

ARNIE is the main priority at the moment and I intend to do the production in a single block next week when I have a bit of time off of work.

Christel Doctor Who Series 2 is also well on track to start production and that should occur towards the end of November. I have scheduled 3 blocks of production and intend to have all of the episodes ready for the release of the series next year.

In other news I also intend to do a post during next week of the whole of series 1. I got some good reviews of the series but I know that some people have also come along late and may not have yet seen it all so I felt that a post with the entire of the series in it was in order. Until then, thanks for the continued support. There will more ARNIE and Christel Doctor Who News very soon.

Christmas Special goes into Production

I am pleased to inform you that the first ever Christel Doctor Who Christmas Special entitled, How the Doctor Stole Christmas, has tonight entered the production phase. I finished the script a few hours ago and so started doing some very tiny pieces of animation for the episode. Over the course of the coming weekend I shall work more on the episode and try and post some 'set reports' as well.

Obviously I can't give too much away on the plot front but I can promise snow, mince pies and UNIT.
