RoboNeighbours Screening Dates
Hi Everyone, I've just confirmed with Channel 10 the dates that the episodes of neighbours we recently filmed will be screening..
The first scene is on
Monday the 23rd of August
, where the bots are bought into the story and they start building throughout that week, and it
continues
into the second week starting the
30th August
and later during that week is the climactic battle scene and aftermath.
Of course, there will the be the other parallel plot lines going on throughout the show, so it wont be non-stop robot stuff, which is why the robot bits are mixed in over two weeks worth of episodes. Sorry, but you'll either have to get some soapy watcher to tape it for you and fast forward to the good bits, or sit through two weeks worth of exciting soaps drama (dont get addicted !)
Also remember they didnt have a Lexan arena, and despite temptaion, we werent allowed to accidentally kill any of the actors, so the bots that are in there arent the dangerous spinners, so the fight scene might be a bit tame, although some of the camera work and angles should be awesome.. I havent seen the final edited result yet either, so I hope it all turns out well. They tell me the director of the show was very pleased with the final result.
Enjoy the first appearance of Australian Combat Robots on TV, lets hope we can swing some more soon.. I like the way things are moving along..

Well, I wont spoil the plot by telling you what happens (besides I'm not allowed to), but from what I know (I havent seen the final edited show yet either), you'll know when the robots begin to make an appearance in the show..
Is anyone going to tape the whole thing ? I'd like to, but I'm rarely home when neighbours screens.. ideally, I'd like it taped on a digital video cam with an analog input hooked up to the analog video output of a VCR.
That way, you use the VCR's tuner to pickup the TV station, but get it on digital tape instead of VHS, which makes it much easier to capture to a computer, then edit out all the ads and non-relevant plots and just get the robot bits compiled into a nice short watchable "highlights" bit..
Any volunteers with DigiCams and regular work/home schedules to do that ? I'll offer $50 + tape costs for a DV tape containing all the episodes if someone can do it for me. its spread out over 2 weeks worth of episodes I believe. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas.
