Subject: Help Support Message From Moonbase Alpha
Hi all,
Well, here is what we can do to help ensure that "Message" is included
on the A&E Year Two releases..
Scott Bosco (consultant for A&E's Space 1999 DVD releases) has offered to step
in and act on our behalf, to help to ensure that "Message" is included..
He has created an e-mail account that will be used to receive letters of support
in favor of "Message". The e-mails he receives, will be compiled and forwarded
directly onto the decision makers at both Carlton and New Video.
The e-mail address is
alphamessage@yahoo.com
Please take the time to send an e-mail to this address in support of "Message".
New Video are already VERY open to the idea of including "Message" on their
Year Two DVD's. If a large enough show of support from the fans is presented to the
decision makers, it may be an important factor in the final decision process.
Scott has told me that it is indeed possible to come up with solutions to all of
the legalities that could hold back "Message" like the union rules and
regulations etc, etc .
IMHO, never before in our fandom has anything been so important. I would like to
see all of the Space 1999 related mailing lists band together just this one time,
in a
show of unity.
No Space 1999 release would be complete without "Message" which so many
of us have come to accept as the 49th episode of the series, and because it also
brought both some kind of closure to the series and at the same time left us hoping
for a revival of the show.
Members of this mailing list who saw "Message" on Sept 13th 1999, already
know exactly why it should be included. As Bob Wood said in his book, " Anyone
who was there when we intercepted this message will tell you there wasn't a dry eye
in the room. It was the most emotional group experience I have ever seen, and it
was clearly so succesful because of the care and talent with which it was produced."
So please take a few minutes of your time to write, even if it's just a couple of
lines because you CAN make a difference!
Alphanly Yours,
Jerry Scott |

| Geo Alliance International Inc.
to Publish "Eagle II" Posters |
 |
Géo Alliance International Inc., a
Canadian company, has announced that they have joined forces with Carlton International
Media Limited to publish high resolution Eagle II posters.
Based on Daniel Prud'homme's CAD plans, and generated from the most detailed 3D Eagle CGI model
in existence, the first poster to be available in October 2001 will be printed in
super high definition. The CGI model uses 3000 different mappings to give the Eagle
a real appearance and with the print technology used, will allow the smallest detail
to be seen.
Following that will be a second poster and then a third. For the third poster, the
3D CGI model will be online and fans will be invited to position it as they would
like it to be seen on the 3rd poster. The results will then be published and the
most favored position will be designed and printed. Future plans call for smaller
posters and a video and DVD conveying how the Eagle might appear in a Space: 1999
movie.
The official Eagle II web site
also includes the free computer wallpaper shown here. |
