I am currently working on one. It's taking a while because I'm doing all the sets from scratch. The story is written, I've done a storyboard, and started buying props and stuff. The big work is the sets themselves. Most of the work will require blue screen technique, which I have no experience with. So small photos with it are in the works to give me some exposure.

There is a beach scene where the Baroness is on a boat talking with some Eels and there's tourists on the beach in the distance. That dio 4-Cobra recently uploaded, "Preparing to Dive", has given me pause. It is perfect for what I am trying to do.

I have been on again off again working on one for a while. I did my first one as a Teaser picture video about 3 years ago but was never that happy with it. I wanted to expand on that idea but right as I was getting ready to drop off the amount of time I spend at work, I went and got myself promoted and now work even more. Between that and the 2 year old running around its pretty tough going just staying on any of these boards the past 3 years. I am going to rip my video and publish so you all can see it as soon as I find the dvd. I just bough Comic Book Creater so I am going to try that out a bit and see if I can do that. I have spent the past several weeks going through the many, many unlabeled boxs in my basement oraganizing all my Joe's. After that I plan to start buying some set pieces. I have been building the pallets (that i did the sort tutorial for if you missed it in the how to section)for a warehouse seen I have envisioned for the story. I want to make some of the medal framed wooden shelfs for extra stuff to be sitting on for this scene as well. Just taking way more time then I have.

I have said from time to time the reason I don't post alot and have been absent from commenting on everyones photos through the week is because I have devoted all my free time to working on my Diostory, It's going to be a while before I finish part one because I have set the bar high for myself, there are so many well produced Diostorys in the Dio section that I really want to make sure mine holds up to them! As time goes on I believe the production will get easier and shorter because right now this is still a learning expierience for me! Although I don't ever see it as being a weekly event I am shooting for every one or two months down the road!
Currently my DS is on hold waiting for some supplies to arrive in the mail, believe me I can't wait to get it out to you guys in hopes you all will enjoy it as much as I enjoy creating it!

Right now there are 7 complete pages that I am totally happy with!

I decided to scrap mine and start over... It was my first dio so it wasn't thought out very well and the picks were blurry.

We just bought a house and we have the closing date on July 31st, so I've been busy packing and stuff, but once we get settled in I plan to start working on mine agian. I also am trying to level my WoW Mage to 80 and also just started a D&D campaign... my plate's overflowing right now, but I'm happy.

My dio is going to follow along the same lines as the last, but with better photos, story-line and sets

I've been scripting my first real diostory for over three years. Its really getting to be less a diostory and more a bloody novel. But I, like Scuba Steve set the bar very high and want this first one to be some of my best work. Some of you might remember or mercifully have forgotton the Coffee Table Wars dio I put out earlier this spring. I felt compelled to produce something and that rather lame and short piece was what I created. It had no real script and was shot entirely (gasp) on my coffee table. No sets, no backgrounds, nothing. I want to put out more elaborate stuff like the productions I found when I was first looking at Dios as a hobby. So I continue to work on my script....

I'm still in the writing stages. I wanted to have some of it done and posted before the movie comes out, but that's looking less and less likely every day. And, let's face it, I just haven't been on much. My interest has nearly died because of the lack of good stuff out there.

I've even been waiting for some figures to see official release. I can't WAIT to get my hands on Resolute Roadblock, or Gung Ho. And I'd still love it if the Big H would put out a Resolute Duke with a smaller head. With his noggin right now, I'm lacking a definitive version of the boy scout.

Then of course, there's life.

I'm still tryin' to plug away, though. Hopefully I'll have SOMETHING up, sometime.

Have fun!!!

Holy crap! There were five troop builders in 1985 - what am I getting myself into!?!

Well right towards the end of scale wars my mother-in-law got in a very bad car crash (Semi came accross the lane and knocked her 40 ft into a feild). Anyway I wraped up SW finally after many delays and took some time to deal with life and last night (coincedence) began working on the next chap of Toxie's 1:18th Universe (That picks up where SW left off). I am in the shooting stages but got a bit delayed with family stuff. But things are calming down finally so an update should be around the corner I think.

I've been pretty busy lately to the point that continuing the dio was feeling more like work than fun. I hope to at least finish off my Invaders story and I had bought stuff for the story line after Invaders. It also hasn't helped that I can only do outdoor shots on the weekends, and a lot of those have been pretty rainy.

I'm still into Joe, I just read the Above and Beyond movie prequel novel which I thought was pretty fun, and if the movie is like that, I think I will enjoy it. I also enjoyed the Resolute cartoon and the IDW comics.

I'm going to work on "Trakker joins the Joes" pt2 soon.
