Message from Jeff Allen, director of Trooper Clerks!

I logged into my account over at theforce.net today and had a pleasant suprise waiting for me! Jeff Allen, director of Trooper Clerks, whom I met at C3 at the Trooper Clerks booth there, sent me the following note.

Todd,

I was surfing google, looking for references to our Trooper Clerks booth at C3, and your blog came up as one of the 2 that mentioned seeing us. Thanks for stopping by. I hope we treated you with kindness while you were there, and it seems that you got an autographed postcard or something from atleast one of us creators. YAHHHH!!!!!!

I liked your fanfilm, "Yoda's Treasure". Very BRitish in humor. Excellent!!!!

I especially liked the "I am your Sister" bit with Darth Smiley. Classic . I think you might be the first to have pulled that joke off in a SW fanfilm. Oh, Elmo as Yoda. Another good one. HAR!

Trooper Clerks Cartoon Artist, Todd Coss, lives in Mineeapolis/St. PAul these days. If you want to hook up with him one day and chat SW or other geekness, I'll slide you some contact info.

Thanks again for stopping by the booth and mentioning us in your blog, makes all that money spent at C3 worth spending,

Jeff Allen
director - Trooper Clerks

You're very welcome, Jeff! :-)

Yoda's Treasure outtakes are here!

You saw correctly! Head on over to the download section of the Yoda's Treasure area and check out the outtakes!

The big week!

Yep, Thursday marks the opening day of the last Star Wars movie, Episode III. I will be going to the midnight showing, of course, at the CineMagic Theatres in Rochester, MN, IN COSTUME, and handing out flyers for Yoda's Treasure. You can take a look at the flyer design here. I haven't received word from the theater yet on permission to hand these out yet, but I'm hoping to resolve the situation tomorrow with a phone call. Stay tuned!

Blog archives & other past posts

Well, I finally got the archives and links to my past posts working properly. So, in case you've been wanting to check out one of those posts I made months ago, you can now go back and check them out!

CELEBRATION III RECAP!

Two of us from Flaming Death Productions (Matt and myself) attended all four days of Star Wars Celebration III in Indianapolis last week. For pictures and a full recap from my perspective, check out the special page I've constructed just for the occasion which is located at http://ncc2012.com/special/c3/c3.html.

Special Edition?

I'm going to be completing a special edition of Yoda's Treasure in the near future. I figured that since the film isn't being chosen in AtomFilms' contest, I might as well make the changes I wanted to originally make. Essentially, it's adding in music where it really needs it. There are two parts that I have in mind that shouldn't take long. Just don't expect anything this weekend. ;-)

Contact Information

I meant to do this a while back but keept forgetting about it until today. Contact information for Flaming Death Productions is (on this page to your right). I'll have a more permanent link placed here on the site soon...just not this weekend. ;-)

edited so I don't get spam mail!

Celebration III!

Yes, both Matt and myself are attending Star Wars Celebration III in Indianapolis this weekend! After waiting in line about an hour, we did finally get in and enjoyed the festivities. I was pleasantly surprised to find a booth set up by the creators of "Trooper Clerks," one of the past winners of the AtomFilms fan film contests. Thanks for the autographs, guys! :-)

More to come later!

Mirror site!

I've added a few more links for downloading both the movie and the trailer for "Yoda's Treasure". Downloads can, of course, be found at in the downloads section of the "Yoda's Treasure" page. Happy downloading!

Problems with Firefox browsers

I've encountered the problem where my image map used for the Yoda's Treasure menu will not work in Firefox browsers. The only link that will work is the one to take you back to the main page. However, if you're using Internet Explorer, you should have no problems. So, here are some quick links for you:

Trailer-MOV file
Trailer-WMV file
Movie-MOV file
Movie-WMV file

Resubmitting....

I just saw this in the Fan Film boards over at TheForce.net:

Due to a technical issue associated with us switching to a new email address, we have not been able to review many of the submissions sent to us over the last month. I have resolved this issue but we are not able to retrieve these lost submissions. If you submitted a film to us during this time, please re-submit it using the same form as you did last time.

Thanks and we apologize for the inconvenience.

That explains why I haven't heard anything from them in so long. So, here we go again....

Sir, your downloads are ready!

Yes, they're here! Yoda's Treasure is now online and ready for download. It's available in both MOV and WMV formats. I also uploaded a WMV of the trailer. Enjoy!

UPDATES!

There's a few new updates in the Yoda's Treasure section of the web site, so be sure to check them out. I've added the official movie poster, changed the photos section, and seperated the cast and crew into two pages. More is on the way!

Yoda's Treasure Premiere!

Yesterday was the premiere of "Yoda's Treasure" for cast and crew! In addition, I opened up the link to the trailer in three different areas. For more details, head on over to the "Yoda's Treasure" link along the top of the site here.

As for our patient wait on the film submissions, I still have not heard anything back from either Atomfilms or TheForce.net. I may have to resubmit to the latter since it's been a while now and should have heard something from them by this time.

WELCOME!

Welcome to the new improved website for Flaming Death Productions! From this spot, you'll find all you need about our little production company and it's projects. Well, maybe not everything. How about all you need to know as determined by ME? That's more like it. Heh! Take a look around and enjoy!
