Episode 04 Post Production Haulted…
Jun 14th
Knightmare Knews reported today that were some tensions on set of the latest RIP Episode when the actor playing Dorian Graves (Sarastro) walked off set saying that he was taking the weekend off for ‘Father’s Day’.
While he was not able to be reached for comment the guest Director, Crystal Witchery, had only this to day “Stupid Sims.”
“This is a minor issue at this stage in the production” explained Executive Producer, Bard Noir “We’re still going forward with Principal Photography on Episodes 5 and 6 at this time.”
So far rumors indicate that Episodes 5 and 6 are going to be the first, two part segment seen in the series despite the Bard’s repeated statements that “RIP is not one show broken up into different Episodes.” when asked about this the Noir camp indicated that the Episode length “was due to the musical numbers involved.”
Hmmm… is that so?
Tragedy on Set!!
Apr 16th
The Herald’s News has just learned that a horrible accident occurred on set during the filming of the latest R.I.P. Episode.
A Fire occurred while filming Episode 4 “Perfect Pain”, which in and of itself was ironic. So far reports have linked the cause to either faulty wiring or the fact that Dorian Graves likes to read dry, dusty, hand written tomes on an old sofa near very large open flames… we’re still not fully sure, but rest assured a full investigation is being conducted by our insurance firm of Larry, Curly and Moe.
Episode Director Crystal Witchery was reached for comment saying, “stupid sims” (I swear I’m not making that up). “While this is a minor set back in production, Episodes 3 AND 4 are still going strong.” said Bard Nor, R.I.P. Producers and Head Writer, “But this is just too funny!”
Meanwhile Dorian Graves was rushed to the nearest hospital facility, the Allied East clinic which he was very apprehensive about going to initially.*
Melanie was treated on set and Erika managed to escape without any injuries. Which is another irony since she has slayer healing powers yet was also the only one who ran out of the room fast enough. Her stunt double however was killed continently solving a budgeting issue Crystal was having with the production of Episode 4 (okay that one I AM making up).
This will likely cause some delays in production pushing Episode 4 into late June, but we’re still glad to hear that Erika’s okay… she’s hot!
*in Episode 1 Dorian killed 3 Vampires in the Allied East Blood Bank.

Episode 4 still in Production
Apr 11th
As life gets back on track I decided to share the newest Episode progress. We are, in fact, working on two Episodes at the same time. And while things have gotten out of control in the Noir household it doesn’t mean we’ve stopped working all together.
I’m still committed to this show, and the people working hard to help me bring it to you.
Here are some shots of Episode 4.
I think Cyrstal Witchery is doing an amazing job and I MYSELF am looking forward to the finished product based on the dailies I’ve seen so I know you should be loving it.
The Episode is called “Perfect Pain”, written by myself and directed by Crystal Witchery – Episode 03 “Dark Slayer” was written by Aiwe and directed by myself so it’s offically the first one in the series that has a different writer and director however Episode 04 “Perfect Pain” is the first in the seires NOT directed by myself so it’s been an interesting process of letting go and trusting Crystal, but I think she brings her unique style to the series for the better. The Episode is actually named after one of my favorite Anubis songs.
BTW – if you need to know more about Anubis, you can check them out at www.myspace.com/anubisband
Some time earlier this year I saw them live, so I’ll throw up pictures on that later.
Episode 03 Update
Apr 6th
I wanted to update everyone with the progress of Episode 3. While there has been a slight delay in the production it’s the last end of Post Production. Here are some screen shots of the series.
This shot is the first time we See the Dark Slayer. The outfit, sans tattoos can be found on SimderZ’s site http://simderz.moonfruit.com/ but the tattoos are a custom skin used only for the Dark Slayer and found only in the series. I have not made this skin available anywhere else.
This is the first time Dorian and Erika meet the Dark Slayer, giving them the motivation to find out more about her for you. Don’t worry, all your questions are answered in this episode as to who she is and why she’s also a Slayer… but rest assured, a town like Crystal Bay, FL isn’t big enough for TWO hot chicks with superpowers.
This is a shot from the final scene of the Episode. I picked this shot because it shows off more of the Dark Slayers ink. Trivia: The Symbol on her back loosely translates to “Stay Overnight” which should, in and of itself, give you a clue as to the kind of person the group will have to deal with.
I’m in the process of adding in a few voices for only 2 more characters and the sound track, then I want to go back and add in a few sound effects and we’re done.
Episode 4 is also underway and I have screen shots for that too… Oh but you’ll just have to come back for those.
Laterz!
