Thank you, I like to ...Hello Mister Anonymous,<br /><br /> Thank you, I like to think I have a good eye for a dramtic image. And it has to be said that that's an excellent idea about a 'Village Day' graphic novel, and one I had not considered, but it's certainly an entertaining idea, and one to get the imagination working. Yes, I see what you mean.<br /><br /> I had intended to post the opening sequence of 'Village Day' with the above piece of blog, but I had problems uploading it, an error message kept appearing each time I tried. I've a feeling the sequence is too long, so I'll go back and cut it, pity really.<br /> One of these days, and I've been saying this for some time, I'm going to produce a directors cut of 'Village day.' I was never happy the way the film was editied together, well I had to rely upon another person to see to that. Close-ups were left out of certain scenes. I also want to edit some scenes that are too long, and edit in others. That's a long, long task, and one for the future, as I've no spare time at present.<br /><br /> Yes, I'll give serious thought to a graphic novel of 'Village Day.' Thank you for the suggestion.<br /><br />Kind Regards<br />David<br />Be seeing youDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-15303645526208613972012-02-02T03:59:56.964+00:002012-02-02T03:59:56.964+00:00Hello David

Much like Shattered Visage.<br /><br />http://www.mister8.com/the-illustrated-prisoner/<br /><br />You could go through 'The Prisoner' series and find various images that might add to or create whole new scenes or subplots. You might even adapt the unused images from the 'alt' Chimes of Big Ben and the cut 'long walk' scene from Fall Out.<br /><br />Perhaps some 'limited edition' or a slide show as was used at the TP'09 website.<br /><br />Sincerely<br /><br />Mr. AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-81106908113259075262012-02-01T09:04:01.093+00:002012-02-01T09:04:01.093+00:00Hello Mister Anonymous,
Originally the idea w...Hello Mister Anonymous,<br /><br /> Originally the idea was to run the film production via a ten person committee, democratic it might have been, but nothing would ever have got done, I could see that. So as soon as I was left holding the baby so to speak, I got rid of any idea of making a film via committee. In fact that idea was on it's way out when the perosn who suggested the film in the first place {who wanted to Produce a film via committee} met with Roger parkes at a Prisoner convention. Parkes said "You're not making a film by committe are you? You'll never get anything done that way!" That's when he saw the error of his ways, and soon after that I was left with the films production.<br /><br /> Ah yes of course. I had been thinking of McGoohan not having swept the floor of a set on 'the Prisoner,' I was forgetting his time working behind the scenes and as a theatre Manager. Yes, the connection is complete.<br /><br />Regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-45378848777251610042012-01-31T19:17:21.261+00:002012-01-31T19:17:21.261+00:00Hello David

Simply put someone has to step up to the plate and take charge.<br /><br />"We might have gone on with 'Secret Agent' he said, "but the American network took so long to make up its mind we decided to close it down. I had a lot of help on that series but as star and producer and even writer of some of the scripts of 'The Prisoner' I'll have only myself to blame if it's a lousy show. <br /><br />"And that's the way I like it." (Patrick McGoohan July 1966)<br /><br />As an aside Mr. McGoohan did indeed 'sweep the floors' as a theater manager... thus making a more complete connection for you.<br /><br />Sincerely<br /><br />Mr. AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
