00:00:02
well I'm getting over a cold so my voice
00:00:04
is not 100% so uh I got to keep my an
00:00:07
short and pertinent you may have noticed
00:00:08
at the end of my my ideal videos I say
00:00:12
if you'd like to see more leave me a
00:00:14
comment saying which character you'd
00:00:15
like me to cover next character in the
00:00:17
singular if more people stop posting
00:00:19
lists and more people start uh
00:00:22
requesting one character at a time which
00:00:24
a lot of people do but there are just as
00:00:26
many who post big long lists and I'd
00:00:29
rather that not happen
00:00:30
uh if more people start requesting one
00:00:32
character at a time next time I have a
00:00:34
Q&A I'll answer the colored faces
00:00:36
question I'll give you this much for now
00:00:38
uh why don't birdies andies and clar
00:00:40
Bell's faces match their liveries the
00:00:41
idea for birdie was to uh have uh his
00:00:44
face be colored like an inverted uh
00:00:46
conventional Grill whereas Annie and
00:00:48
clarabelle's gray faces match their
00:00:50
roofs what I don't want is uh the face
00:00:52
to be the same color as what it's
00:00:54
attached to so in that regard I don't
00:00:55
know what the hell I'm going to do with
00:00:56
Harold or bolod what inspired you to
00:00:58
create your ideals series I was
00:01:01
around in Photoshop and I was looking
00:01:03
around and I was seeing just purism I
00:01:05
want to show people that there are other
00:01:06
ways see if I can get a momentum going
00:01:09
see if I can encourage more people to
00:01:10
sort of run with the kite than just be
00:01:13
stuck in one place there was an element
00:01:15
of sheer naked pessimism in there cuz uh
00:01:18
I'm just thinking I'm a a skint with ADD
00:01:21
I can't bring my stories to life
00:01:24
effectively uh how long have you been
00:01:26
thinking up this Au I couldn't pinpoint
00:01:28
a specific date well you create story
00:01:30
set in your ideal Thomas Universe if I
00:01:32
could I wouldn't have created that
00:01:33
Series in the first place like I've
00:01:35
avoided trains because I don't like CGI
00:01:37
train simulator that is but uh recently
00:01:40
I've been around in uh Photoshop
00:01:42
trying to Tinker with ways to make
00:01:44
screenshots from trains look like less
00:01:46
like a computer game and from working on
00:01:48
this uh series it hit me what what to do
00:01:52
a little bit of blurring in whatever the
00:01:55
focus point is and a lot of blurring the
00:01:59
further back we go so at this point I
00:02:02
might get trains and uh I won't be
00:02:05
making videos I've been experimenting
00:02:07
with uh the buzz book format on Deviant
00:02:10
Art if you want to check that out what's
00:02:12
your favorite edit you've made so far uh
00:02:14
that would be Peter Sam he turned out
00:02:16
really good what's your least favorite
00:02:18
edit so far Annie and clarabel I
00:02:19
struggled to find a decent screenshot of
00:02:22
those uh stly break coaches I just
00:02:24
settle for this behind the scenes Dron
00:02:27
Manor one
00:02:30
bu glass how do you feel about people
00:02:32
on your takes it was inevitable
00:02:34
purism and hopeless Nostalgia are
00:02:36
rampant one problem I didn't anticipate
00:02:38
was uh narrow-mindedness I first
00:02:41
remember encountering a lot of that in
00:02:43
my ideal Toby video in which I kind of
00:02:46
offhandedly say that one of my guesses
00:02:48
for one of the reasons Audrey ended up
00:02:51
quitting writing The Railway Series
00:02:52
would not be like the main reason but
00:02:54
just a contributing factor and I had
00:02:56
people accusing me of saying that was
00:02:58
the reason the only only reason there
00:03:00
was one guy who left a comment saying uh
00:03:02
talking about
00:03:05
um I don't remember what but one of the
00:03:08
reasons but I read the whole thing
00:03:10
thinking he was going somewhere with
00:03:11
that I'm like at the end like
00:03:13
that's I wasted a lot of time there he
00:03:15
haven't told me anything I don't know
00:03:16
there are several reasons why Audrey
00:03:18
quit and I'm convinced one of them was
00:03:23
realizing that he constantly trying to
00:03:25
improve on himself was getting to be a
00:03:27
pain in the ass because you never stop
00:03:28
learning you never stop gleaning
00:03:30
inspiration and information and so
00:03:32
learning that
00:03:33
colloquialism uh skirts by the way I've
00:03:36
never seen any evidence that they're
00:03:37
called Kilts period you so I think
00:03:40
upon learning that if if he did I'm
00:03:43
convinced he did because it makes sense
00:03:46
for Mavis to have turned out that way
00:03:48
I'm thinking it's just one of the things
00:03:49
that really Aid at him toward the end
00:03:51
one of the big reasons I think this was
00:03:52
when the novelist wrote was he
00:03:55
thought he was scraping the bottle of of
00:03:57
the barrel when it came to story
00:03:58
inspiration ideas and when do your own
00:04:00
homework you'll find he barely scratched
00:04:02
the surface there was evidently a lot of
00:04:04
information he didn't have and I'm
00:04:06
convinced one of them was that side PL
00:04:08
cism colloquialism I can't say it with a
00:04:11
cold but the worst problems with
00:04:12
narrow-minded people is my ideal Oliver
00:04:15
being an l& and people are like it's
00:04:17
called the little Western because it's
00:04:19
run by Great Western engines that is one
00:04:21
of the reasons it is also called that
00:04:23
because it's on the west coast of Sodor
00:04:26
it has Western Auto trains it's got
00:04:29
their three reasons and when I brought
00:04:31
up the auto coaches in my ideal Annie
00:04:34
and clarb video I had some accuse
00:04:37
me of saying that was the reason there
00:04:39
are three reasons and if you
00:04:42
stick around you'll find I'm going to
00:04:43
add more I I finally got fed up with
00:04:45
this one guy every subsequent video he
00:04:47
wouldn't stop posting these novels about
00:04:48
why his uh solution for all solution for
00:04:51
Oliver was great finally I got fed up
00:04:54
with him some people have accused you of
00:04:55
making certain characters woke you know
00:04:57
I can understand why it would look that
00:04:58
way gone from jinkies to jankies and if
00:05:01
you look at some more recent clue boxes
00:05:03
it's obvious who the victims are and who
00:05:05
committed the murders I think I've
00:05:06
gotone on record once saying that having
00:05:07
diversity in your cast is not a bad idea
00:05:10
as long as you're not doing it just to
00:05:11
be a dick and if you're doing it just
00:05:13
because it's all the Vogue at the time
00:05:15
you're a dick and it's just my bad luck
00:05:16
it's all a Vogue at the moment will you
00:05:18
cover any CGI characters yeah a couple
00:05:20
who are your favorite Thomas YouTubers
00:05:22
the one whose content I watch the most
00:05:24
is the Unlucky tug but I wouldn't say
00:05:25
he's my
00:05:26
favorite he just updates a lot he's a
00:05:29
great content grader but uh the
00:05:30
americanisms really pissed me off uh
00:05:32
favorite fan video Rolling Stock or mad
00:05:35
bomber or whatever you want to call it
00:05:36
does your Percy work on tomas's Branch
00:05:38
line yep he graduates from station pilot
00:05:40
to main Goods engine on Thomas's Branch
00:05:42
line what whistles do your ideal engines
00:05:44
have I think I thought about putting
00:05:45
their whistles in at some point but I
00:05:47
couldn't really think of where it would
00:05:48
go without sort of being jarring and at
00:05:51
some point I just gave up uh here's a
00:05:53
Rough Guide
00:05:55
[Music]
00:06:02
wouldn't Percy having Douglas's
00:06:03
Douglas's it's Donald's wouldn't Percy
00:06:06
having Donald's whistle be confusing
00:06:08
when perc's on the main line nope he
00:06:09
doesn't often go on the main line anyway
00:06:11
only when he's whenever he's making the
00:06:13
odd trip to Edwards Branch line I like
00:06:15
to think some of the whistles that sound
00:06:17
identical only sound identical to us but
00:06:19
to a steam engine they can pick up on
00:06:22
the differences in ways we can't uh will
00:06:25
you cover more obscure characters like
00:06:27
98462 and 875 5 46 uh that's the plan
00:06:31
will you reveal who numbers 14 and 15
00:06:33
are uh that's the plan do you think
00:06:34
there are characters the fandom doesn't
00:06:36
know how to write for I think in general
00:06:37
the fandom has the characters down but
00:06:39
they're lacking story inspiration in
00:06:41
that regard we got a bunch of Andrew
00:06:43
brenders running around will you cover
00:06:44
locations like napf for and Tidmouth uh
00:06:46
most likely will you ever talk about
00:06:48
your take on the Sodor map and its
00:06:49
Railway networks uh most likely will s
00:06:52
top mat's Railway on your other channel
00:06:53
ever return I've had to pull the plug on
00:06:55
that show for logistical reasons mostly
00:06:58
uh to do with recording and editing I
00:07:00
won't go to it I won't go into it now
00:07:01
because my throat's going just to say
00:07:04
logistically it that part of the project
00:07:06
got to be a big pain in the ass it's not
00:07:08
bad with uh my ideal it's short and
00:07:11
snappy enough and I deliberately made it
00:07:12
short and snappy because uh that's just
00:07:15
my inclination and uh shorter videos
00:07:18
don't take as long to edit but my uh
00:07:20
story narrations on my other channel
00:07:22
proved uh to be
00:07:25
uh a little too uh too taxing that's why
00:07:28
I wanted to go to a sort of book format
00:07:30
on Deviant Art if I want if I decide I
00:07:32
want to give up and go to CGI I'm
00:07:35
confident about my edits so uh someone
00:07:37
I've been talking to is saying if I go
00:07:39
into the it with that kind of mindset of
00:07:40
just giving up I'm not going to have any
00:07:41
fun with it and I like to think my
00:07:44
primary overriding duty is to the
00:07:46
stories I want to tell and as long as
00:07:48
that's the case I think I can take the
00:07:52
plunge and not have it be a grind how
00:07:54
does the numbering scheme in sir to bats
00:07:56
Railway work uh well I made Thomas
00:07:58
number one and then I took the first uh
00:08:02
drawing from The Railway Series and I
00:08:05
numbered them in order from right to
00:08:06
left are you planning any model videos
00:08:08
not related to Ry well like a lot of
00:08:10
people I've hit a number of snags uh
00:08:12
with uh model Railway stuff all these
00:08:15
online retailers are slitting their
00:08:16
wrists uh Hatton became part of rails of
00:08:19
Sheffield but I have yet to try out
00:08:20
their services and shapeways the 3D
00:08:22
printing service I find is getting
00:08:24
slower and slower another reason I'm
00:08:26
considering making the move to CGI I
00:08:28
haven't given up on the hobby but as far
00:08:30
as storytelling goes I want to try to
00:08:32
work with a new medium uh I've talked
00:08:34
about like an hourong Watermill video
00:08:35
for a while I think I mentioned it in my
00:08:37
previous q&as I think that might end up
00:08:40
being a long-term project same with uh
00:08:42
an adaptation of Thomas ghost fishing
00:08:44
that I talked about previously uh what
00:08:46
do you expect for Thomas's 80th
00:08:47
anniversary I don't know I'm expecting
00:08:49
something to crop up this year it seems
00:08:51
like lately every uh even numbered year
00:08:53
something significant crops up in 2020
00:08:55
we had the missing coach leaks which
00:08:56
inspired Roy the Bachman coach 2022 we
00:08:59
had had those uh season 5 raws so who
00:09:02
knows maybe uh something uh incredibly
00:09:05
interesting will uh crop up this year
00:09:07
later this year anyway it's nearly
00:09:09
halfway over though but then again uh I
00:09:12
think the missing coach leaks came out
00:09:14
in August of 2020 and the uh season 5
00:09:17
raw came in July of that year 2022 so uh
00:09:22
who knows uh if this if these Trends
00:09:24
continue have you considered putting
00:09:26
your edits on Deviant Art I did but I
00:09:28
very quickly nixed the idea because uh I
00:09:30
could write down my explanations in the
00:09:32
description but uh I know very very very
00:09:36
very few people leave look at the
00:09:38
description on any platform there is no
00:09:40
guarantee whatsoever that people will
00:09:42
read my descriptions they'll just see my
00:09:43
edits and immediately start all
00:09:45
over me at least in video format I can
00:09:47
explain myself and you have to sit
00:09:48
through and listen to it and still
00:09:51
on me will you ever talk about tugs in
00:09:52
the show I'd like to but as far as
00:09:54
commenting requesting tug stuff it's a
00:09:57
case of try or look there are aspects of
00:09:59
the show I'd like to talk about but as
00:10:00
far as characters go there are very few
00:10:02
I would alter visually just to name a
00:10:04
few Billy shoe pack and the cranes as
00:10:06
far as star Fleet and Ed
00:10:09
Stacks there's virtually nothing I do
00:10:11
with them uh visually so I don't have
00:10:14
much to talk about there but uh
00:10:16
conceptually in many areas and with
00:10:18
various aspects of the production
00:10:20
potential reboot material uh there's a
00:10:22
lot I could talk about I'm not sure
00:10:24
where to start maybe I'll have to make
00:10:25
one unprompted to sort of get a give
00:10:29
people the the right idea so that they
00:10:32
can comment uh like maybe I'll I'll end
00:10:35
a tug's video I talk about by saying uh
00:10:38
if you liked hearing my point of view
00:10:39
and seeing my edits leave a comment
00:10:40
saying which aspect of tugs you'd like
00:10:42
me to talk about next maybe I'll start
00:10:44
my next run of my ideal with something
00:10:45
tugs related cuz uh the first two runs
00:10:49
uh I talked about Thomas and Douglas
00:10:52
without the uh comments Preamble maybe
00:10:55
I'll do that this time uh how can Thomas
00:10:57
be built in the ' 50s when the railway
00:10:59
series started in the ' 40s who said
00:11:00
anything about the Railway Series I'm
00:11:02
talking about a top to bottom do over
00:11:03
what's your favorite CGI episode Thomas
00:11:05
in the emergency cable that feels like
00:11:07
something out of Tank Engine Thomas
00:11:08
again give or take a few ingredients
00:11:10
what's your ideal voice cast for the
00:11:11
characters I might talk about that in an
00:11:13
episode actually ideal cast ideal
00:11:15
narrator stuff something like that will
00:11:17
you make or have you made any models of
00:11:19
your takes on characters yeah a couple
00:11:21
uh there's uh Thomas Annie and
00:11:24
clarabel uh
00:11:26
Percy uh Toby the eyes aren't very good
00:11:29
here bulgy with a learning curve uh
00:11:33
model face here's Trevor by the way
00:11:37
brace yourselves from some placeholder
00:11:38
faces I know you can't handle those some
00:11:40
of you can't handle those here's Donald
00:11:43
here's
00:11:44
Douglas here's some wagons this is
00:11:48
condex and this is
00:11:51
spats and I showed you guys the James
00:11:54
body shell I got last year I haven't
00:11:56
touched that yet do you plan to include
00:11:58
any OC's in this series series some will
00:12:00
argue I have and they're half right
00:12:01
because like I keep saying a
00:12:03
continuation of our season 5 left off
00:12:05
would play out differently but it won't
00:12:07
make those people any happier
00:12:09
are there any characters you won't cover
00:12:10
yeah a couple what do you think of AEG I
00:12:13
don't if you were the one to write
00:12:14
Thomas's first movie What would you have
00:12:16
it be like um I made a concept poster uh
00:12:19
last year incidentally I intended to
00:12:21
edit the 3D printed face uh I painted
00:12:23
blue to make it uh look gray but I
00:12:26
couldn't make it look right so it I
00:12:28
just went with my style it's something I
00:12:30
think David Mitten would have liked to
00:12:31
direct seems like a balls off the- walls
00:12:33
story and it totally is but it was
00:12:35
inspired by something that really
00:12:36
happened a bunch of things that really
00:12:37
happen actually what do you think of
00:12:39
tner it's cancer what's your favorite
00:12:41
theme music from the show it's close but
00:12:43
I'm going to say Bill and Ben's theme
00:12:44
how do you choose the bases for these
00:12:46
characters just information that crops
00:12:48
up in the course of my research that's
00:12:51
virtually where every one of my
00:12:52
decisions come from uh why did you
00:12:53
decide to make all the UK tank engines a
00:12:55
different type changing some of the
00:12:57
established cast I first noticed
00:13:00
um I was looking up information on the
00:13:01
whis backck and upwell tram engines and
00:13:04
I found they had well tanks and I
00:13:06
thought oh Toby's a well tank wait a
00:13:08
minute Thomas is a side tank Percy's a
00:13:11
saddle tank Toby's a well tank Duck's a
00:13:14
p tank oh Oliver's another side tank and
00:13:18
oh Bill and better SLE tanks as well and
00:13:22
then I immediately thought of the other
00:13:24
uh like the tender engines we got an
00:13:26
American a Pacific a mogul a 10-wheeler
00:13:29
uh we got twin six
00:13:32
coupled and with the diesel haulers we
00:13:34
got uh a diesel mechanical a diesel
00:13:37
electric and Diesel
00:13:39
hydraulic ah it's like you got a puzzle
00:13:43
in front of you there's some gaps and
00:13:46
there's some requisite pieces sitting on
00:13:50
top and to me it would just be
00:13:53
irresponsible to leave it that way just
00:13:54
because a bunch of stationary objects
00:13:56
grew up with it how do you decide an
00:13:57
engine's gender I might make a video
00:13:59
about that too explaining my method of
00:14:01
sexing various conveyances if your j70
00:14:03
character is female does that make her
00:14:04
and Henrietta a lesbian couple the
00:14:06
extent of anthropomorphizing these
00:14:08
vehicles is um they have sex is but not
00:14:12
sex drives are there any engines you
00:14:14
would completely change I kind of have
00:14:16
Oliver's a completely different engine
00:14:18
Bear's a completely different engine
00:14:19
Bill and Ben are completely different
00:14:21
engines uh what would you do with the
00:14:22
Arsdale Railway I haven't figured that
00:14:24
out I'm closer to figuring out my ideal
00:14:26
P godric Fleet than I am the Arsdale
00:14:28
Fleet or the Cy fell Fleet uh was there
00:14:31
any edit you couldn't do but really
00:14:32
wanted to well to be frank I really did
00:14:34
want to give uh Gordon a legit Raven
00:14:37
underneath but I didn't know how so I
00:14:39
said I was content with him having the
00:14:41
upright cylinders and all that but I'm
00:14:43
not but I don't know how the hell to
00:14:44
pull that off I still want him to be
00:14:46
that specific one uh city of rippen with
00:14:48
the A10 style boiler but someday I want
00:14:50
to try to figure out how to edit his
00:14:52
chassis look more like an a2os uh where
00:14:55
would you suggest people start if they
00:14:56
want to create their own Thomas stories
00:14:58
characters or use any sources or
00:15:00
viewpoints you could recommend uh
00:15:02
there's some books I could recommend if
00:15:04
you're just starting out uh if you want
00:15:06
to write stories or uh if you feel
00:15:10
yourself growing out of Thomas and you
00:15:12
want to graduate to the real thing Buck
00:15:13
jumpers gobblers and clouds by Jim Hill
00:15:16
in it you'll find stories that inspired
00:15:18
uh Thomas's train and the runaway and
00:15:21
deep freeze uh here's a red for danger
00:15:23
by Tom R uh where you'll find stories
00:15:26
that inspired uh Percy runs away
00:15:29
and off the rails and Thomas Percy and
00:15:31
old slow coach and here's a toss of the
00:15:33
coin by David maidment where you'll find
00:15:36
a number of stories that had inspired uh
00:15:39
a number of uh season five episodes uh
00:15:42
as far as viewpoints go I'm not entirely
00:15:44
sure that's entirely up to the
00:15:45
individual how many engines are there on
00:15:47
Sodor in your version uh my goal is for
00:15:49
sir top Hat's main Fleet to have 26
00:15:53
engines in your version of Edward's
00:15:54
exploit how bad is the damage to Edward
00:15:56
same as it is in The Railway Series any
00:15:58
other media besides Thomas you like
00:16:00
nothing recent I like mostly old shows I
00:16:02
like Phineas and furb or I did up to a
00:16:05
point I liked uh My Little Pony French
00:16:07
of his magic up to a point virtually
00:16:08
every show I like up to a point Thomas I
00:16:11
like up to a point The Simpsons I like
00:16:13
up to a point as far as entire series I
00:16:15
like uh the trapo uh Bertha it Ain half
00:16:19
H mom uh thoughts on Phineas and Ferb
00:16:21
returning for another season I stopped
00:16:22
watching new episodes of fine and FB
00:16:24
somewhere toward the end of season 3 and
00:16:26
beginning of season 4 so I'm in
00:16:28
different uh what got you into Thomas
00:16:30
I've been watching Thomas for as long as
00:16:32
I can remember I had a babysitter who I
00:16:34
think was right from Liverpool she had
00:16:35
been showing me uh thas videos since I
00:16:37
was born uh will you ever redo an edit I
00:16:40
kind of have because while I was working
00:16:41
on uh Bill and Ben I realized I forgot
00:16:44
to recolor the fronts of the cylinders
00:16:47
on various characters so I've gone back
00:16:48
and done that uh with Percy and Gordon
00:16:52
and scarloey and I made sure to do that
00:16:55
with every character with outside
00:16:57
cylinders from then on what's the
00:16:58
general timeline in your ideal version
00:17:00
of the lore as a rough guy my uh the
00:17:03
first story Thomas and Gordon takes
00:17:04
place in 1961 what program do you use to
00:17:08
edit the characters
00:17:09
Photoshop there's none of that AI
00:17:11
in here how would Railway operations
00:17:13
work in MLP I like to imagine they have
00:17:15
kind of a Midland Railway style uh
00:17:17
system a big Fleet of small engines to
00:17:19
haul light loads
00:17:20
frequently frequently how many topam
00:17:23
hats are in your au just one opinions on
00:17:25
seasons 1 to five of Thomas if I could
00:17:27
sum each of them up in one word I'd say
00:17:30
season one is raw season two is
00:17:34
rushed season 3 is
00:17:36
Clumsy season 4 is
00:17:39
weird season 5 is innovative who are the
00:17:42
top contenders for your favorite
00:17:43
character I think my top two right now
00:17:45
are sir handle and Trevor at the moment
00:17:47
I'm on a horard Lor's kick though
00:17:48
favorite stories from The Railway Series
00:17:50
TV series and CGI series I talked about
00:17:53
my favorite CGI episode favorite from
00:17:55
the TV series would be Thomas ghost
00:17:58
fishing and wrong road from The Railway
00:18:01
Series I'd say
00:18:03
bulgy and Bull's eyes are there any
00:18:06
sentient cranes in your au yep I haven't
00:18:08
quite figured out what I want to do with
00:18:10
my uh my ideal breakdown cranes there's
00:18:12
things I want to do with the the
00:18:14
breakdown crane but I haven't quite
00:18:16
figured out how they look yet any
00:18:18
different bases for generic Rolling
00:18:20
Stock like wagons or Express coaches uh
00:18:22
not really what's your favorite engine
00:18:24
class the Great Western Manor how would
00:18:26
you rewrite buba well the series had
00:18:28
been handled compet for that long it
00:18:29
would have been the next logical step
00:18:31
for Thomas to travel around the world
00:18:33
but uh I think the key is to have him
00:18:35
travel to a different country every
00:18:37
season at a point episode 100 had an
00:18:40
adaptation of the fat controllers
00:18:41
engines where they went to London
00:18:43
ideally I'm thinking episode two and
00:18:46
around it would have been an adaptation
00:18:48
of Thomas in the great Railway show
00:18:50
where he goes to York and maybe after
00:18:52
that every subsequent season he goes to
00:18:54
a different country as it stands episode
00:18:57
200 was in season 8 so maybe in season 9
00:19:00
he goes to America and season 10 he goes
00:19:02
to Japan and season 11 he goes to South
00:19:05
Africa or something and I like to
00:19:07
imagine he goes uh somewhere expecting
00:19:09
to meet a bunch of foreign engines and
00:19:11
then uh he meets a bunch of engines
00:19:13
built in like Manchester and Glasgow and
00:19:17
Stafford I like to think of that as like
00:19:19
a a culture shock shock why do you call
00:19:22
season six and seven the Rebrand or the
00:19:24
pseudo Classics officially the franchise
00:19:26
was rebranded after the production of
00:19:28
season 5 ended you may have noticed that
00:19:29
in some later season 5 home media
00:19:32
releases the logo changed from Thomas
00:19:35
the Tank Engine and Friends which told
00:19:36
you everything you need to know to
00:19:38
Thomas and Fran's downplaying the fact
00:19:41
that he's a railway engine and it just
00:19:42
so happened in the New Millennium the
00:19:44
French I the bus it is entirely
00:19:46
true that season six and seven were
00:19:49
directed by David Mitten and scored by
00:19:51
Michael O Don and Junior cample but what
00:19:54
good is that when the stories and
00:19:56
production values are terrible season 3
00:19:58
came close to being crappy too it was
00:19:59
really clumsily executed but at the same
00:20:01
time it was starting to find its look
00:20:03
and sound I think soundwise music and
00:20:06
sound effects wise season 3 was the peak
00:20:09
of the show whereas in season 6 Not only
00:20:11
was the execution very clumsy but uh the
00:20:14
show completely lost its look and sound
00:20:16
and by the time we get to season 7 I
00:20:19
can't detect a pulse and anything I'm
00:20:21
witnessing it's just so listless once
00:20:23
the business said they wanted a new
00:20:25
season every year this series was doomed
00:20:28
what company should take Thomas out of
00:20:29
Mattel's hands and make it good again
00:20:31
not long ago it was said that Flying
00:20:32
Scotsman can no longer have a future in
00:20:34
private hands similarily I would say at
00:20:36
this point the entertainment business
00:20:38
can't handle Thomas and hasn't been able
00:20:40
to for decades I'd love to say it's in
00:20:42
our hands now but uh like I've like I
00:20:45
keep saying we've got so many purists
00:20:47
and nostalgics project tiger moth is
00:20:51
what I'd call a good start but it's just
00:20:55
copying a style for a lot of people the
00:20:58
name of the game is trying to recreate
00:21:00
their childhoods for me the name of the
00:21:02
game is trying to give an impression of
00:21:03
what I would have liked my childhood to
00:21:05
have evolved into it's that approach I
00:21:08
plan to take when uh I make the
00:21:09
transition to CGI on Deviant Art
