Dear Bones Skeleton Group,

I'm still working on the schedule which is twice as big as BUCKYSTEIN.  The Schedule is so scary because once it is set, it is set in stone.  At this point I have it set for 10 days of shooting over the coarse of a year.  As many of you know from last time, most peoples commitment will be 1 day.

 

I have been working hard on the special effects this month.  I went to the model rail road convention at the Aliant Energy Center, to learn more about making miniatures.  I have made the decision to house the Submersibles, The WAL-I, and THE WALLEYE II in an underground cavern, because it will be easy to build and it fits the plot.

 

I have also located on the Internet and sent for 2 different sizes of miniature trash cans.  It looks like Bolt (the Weapons Dog) and Alby (the genius) will be fighting a clay-mation mushroom monster in a garage.  This action packed scene will feature a shoot out and the complete destruction of a garage on a Madison City street  (picture Bolt pulling the pin from a grenade with his mouth and tossing the grenade into the garage at the last possible moment).  Recent acquisitions at WYOU will allow us to mix live action and models.

 

Speaking of Bolt, the weapons dog, I was able to find a light brown dachshund puppet on eBay, but only one.  And as some of you know Bolt is a dog of action and will be featured in a multitude of stunts (like shooting a flame thrower).  It is important to have "Stunt Dogs."  In my search for more I found 3 dark brown ones in Australia.  They are some where on a ship headed our way.  Any one want to make any dog clothes?  Bolt needs an Army camo T-shirt and dog tags to ware under his civilian clothes for starters.  I can see him now? Bolt, tearing off his civilian clothes,  with a missile launcher on his shoulder, standing on the top of the WAL-I in nothing but his army T-Shirt, going head to head with a flying saucer.

 

In other news, I'm thinking of changing the name of the movie.  I have not scene the response I was looking for (Boy, I want to see that!).  I have also heard it referred to as "the toilet" move.  So none of this is decided but  BONES SKELETON: ZOMBIE VS. ALIENS sums up more of the adventure and less of the silliness.  Any opinions?

 

Well got to shovel snow,
