Jeff Pruitt coordinated stunts and fights for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. As it happens, he took his own video footage of the stunts and fight scenes of some of the most popular Buffy episodes.

Star Trek: TNG makeup test reel

January 12, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

Before any show starts filming in earnest they’ll test the look of the characters; different hair styles, clothes and accessories. In the case of Star Trek: The Next Generation this also means different eye colours for androids and visors for Geordi. YouTube calls this “creepy TNG test footage”. Do you agree? There’s certainly some awkward […]

Anime in HMV’s BlueCross sale

January 11, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

UK retailer HMV is launching their BlueCross sale today. It finishes at Midnight on the 3rd of February. If you’ve got HMV vouchers for Christmas then I think spending them in this sale would be wise. Hopefully HMV has had a good Christmas, will do well in this sale and will please the bankers that […]

Steven Moffat interviewed by his son

January 7, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Steven Moffat’s son is on YouTube and – quite wisely – has dragged his dad in for some video interviews. Got to wonder how large this YouTube channel will grow. The good news is that you can leave your own questions for father Moffat below the video and have a chance of getting them asked […]

Fan-made Robotech live action trailer

January 3, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There is no Robotech live action, that I’m aware of, but this juicy fan-made trailer shows you clearly what it might look like. There are certainly plenty of Robotech anime movies. Mankind uses technology claimed from a crashed alien starship to design mecha, transformable mechs, to help fight off not one – but three – […]

Doctor Who: 10 theories about Clara Oswald

January 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 83 Comments

This post discusses Clara Oswald. We think she’ll be the 11th Doctor’s next companion. There are no spoilers in this post, not unless you’ve not yet watched Asylum of the Daleks and The Snowmen, but there is lots of speculation. Some Clara Oswin Oswald factoids for you; On Clara’s gravestone her birth date is 23 […]
