Another part of J-A-G Picture Production is our animation section. So far, there are only three of us who are working on these various projects. Me, doing all the storyboarding, character designing and development, animating and art directing. Margaret Racine doing backgrounds. And Cameron Farmer doing sound effects. And we are looking for help, so if you want more information, drop me a note. Mail it to my

So far, our grand project is to make a trilogy for a practice run. Combining two of my favorite live action televison shows and one animated tv show. DOCTOR WHO, STAR TREK TNG and the TRANSFORMERS.

there are two other projects in the work. Two shorts. One mainly for animation festivals. Dealing with the transformation of the DYNATRON character from his uniformed form to his armored form. So far, the pencil tests have been favorable.

There is also a music video based on the a FILK song called: The HORSETAMER'S DAUGHTER. Telling the story of the daughter of a poor horsetamer, who is told stories about horse riding wizards, and lords who sought to rule the land. And when the Lords return, she is found out to be the magical maser of a sorcerer's keep, and can commune with her friends, the wild horses.

This song was written by Leslie Fish. I got her permission at ConFrancisco, the 51st WorldCOn held in SanFrancisco. But, I could not get the rights for the actual performance, because the studio that made the recording I wanted to use, was no longer in business, and there seemed to be a problem finding out who actually had the rights. But, as long as I had the rights to the actual son, then we can do our own recording.

Everything is storyboarded out, and we're almost ready to begin producing it this winter.

I am also working on another music video "NINJA SURVIVE" by: EUROPE. They did "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN" back in the late 80's, which was a top ten hit. This will show the character of KUNOICHI.

But a it more about our trial features:

CHRONOBOT

The Doctor lands in the midst of a battle between the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS, and looses his Tardis in the midst of the DECEPTICON retreat

The Doctor befriended by the AUTOBOTS, who help him get his Tardis back. But the first attempt was disastrous.

After finding a module for the chameleon circuit, the Doctor had Optimus Prime embue it with the Genetic Matrix, which is the primal force that gives all TRANSFORMERS life. Then he underwent bio-engineering to make him a HEADMASTER.

After Peri inserted the module in the chameleon unit, it became a TRANSFORMER and transformed into a half police box - half robot form. And the Doctor into the head. Thus, becoming CHRONOBOT, and getting it out of the hands of the DECEPTICONS.\\ After repairs were mostly completed to the Tardis, the DECEPTICONS attacked the AUTBOTS camp to get the Tardis back. Prime, thinking that this was a retaliation, had the Doctor transform and run away with the Tardis. But Prime was not too surprised when he saw the DECEPTICONS turn to go after the Tardis.

Catching up with CHRONOBOT, they try and capture him, but find that the Doctor is too sly and wily for them. But, Galvatron is too powerful for the Tardis, and CHRONOBOT is nearly destroyed by his blasts. Until CHRONOBOT is saved by one of the Doctor's incarnations, as a TARGETMASTER. As a concussion air blaster, and photon burst shooter. They both easily defeat and disorient the DECEPTICON forces, making them run away.

After all the fighting is done, and the Tardis is 'fully' repaired, the Doctor is returned to his normal form, and he and Peri leave. Leaving the chameleon circuit behind.

STARBOTS

The AUTOBOTS return after their rogue world, Cybertron, settled into orbit around a sun that had just lost a planet. After the second coming of Unicron, and defeating him, and the DECEPTICONS leaving Cybertron, the AUTOBOTS stockpiled energy for a trip back to Earth and Nebulos.

The federation picked up their return signal and sent the ENTERPRISE. Since it was coming from their general direction. There, they met the Ark.

But, the Romulans also intercepted the message and scouted the area, and were captured by the DECEPTICONS. Who turned their BATTLE BIRD into a DECEPTICON.

After Raptor's first battle, the AUTOBOTS, and Starfleet decided to make the ENTERPRISE into two AUTOBOTS. SAUCER and STARDRIVE

Plus, the Fifth Doctor makes an appearance, with his companions: Tegan, Nyssa and Adric.

The second battle brought the two AUTOBOTS into action, and upon the retreat of the DECEPTICONS; Picard, Laxtwana, a couple of Admirals, Dr. Crusher and the Doctor were captured. Along with HiQ, who was weak after energizing Prime to force feed the matrix transmission to the STARBOTS.

To help[ with the rescue of their comrades, Optimus Prime gave Riker and the Companions a chance to use new PRETENDER technology. REVERSE PRETENDERS. Where the TRANSFORMERS hide the humans inside. Ran Riker, Worf, Data, Deanna, Adric, Tegan and Nyssa volunteered to undergo the fusion.

Meanwhile: There Doctor figures out that Raptor is actually a repressed Unicron. His mind saved before his reconstituted body was destroyed. And now the mind is becoming unstable, and the repressed Unicron is coming out.

The AUTOBOTS attack, with the Starbots, after having the civilians and most of the crew, leave for a nearby Starbase in the ARK.

Then the AUTOBOTS attack while the REVERSE PRETENDERS, with the MICROMASTERS rescue and battle patrol, and a few regular PRETENDERS, try to rescue the captives in Scorponok

While the STARBOTS open up Raptor and some other MICROMASTERS and PRETENDERS that had gotten in there, rescue the captive Romulans.

The pain of all of this thrusts Unicron's persona and power to the sruface. After HiQ is rescued and brought back to Optimus prime, he tells Prime of what they figured out, and Prime uses the power of the matrix to destroy Raptor utterly and the mind of Unicron dissipates into space.

BUT UNICRON CANNOT BE SO EASILY DESTROYED.

And so the AUTOBOTS go back to Cybertron.

ACTION MASTERS THE FINAL COMING OF UNICRON

it is twenty years in the future, and the AUTOBOTS are celebrating the re-dedication of Cybertron, and the exhibition of the matrix.

Joining in the celebration are many organic species through out the known galaxy, like the Melmacians. And representing the Federation is Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, with his wife, and adjutant; Commodore Riker. And in command of the ENTERPRISE is Capt. Data, with his first officer, Comm. Wesley Crusher. And representing the Klingons is Ambassador Worf and his son, Alexander. Representing Gallifery, is the Doctor with his companion; Ace.

While this is going on, Perceptor and Wheeljack have discovered a new energy source, Nucleon.

But while at the ceremony for the re-dedication of Cybertron, Megatron attack with the DECEPTICONS. Being partially fueled by a form of super energy, which temporarily gives them more firepower.

Some of the AUTOBOTS are damaged, the shells to the classic PRETENDERS are destroyed. But the greatest blow comes to Optimus prime, when his super-powermaster body is destroyed and the feedback sears his circuits, giving Megatron a clear shot at HiQ, and he takes it. Killing HiQ.

Prime fires off a few shots, but without HiQ re-powering his weapons, he weakens, then his walks back with HiQ in his hands, to the medical area. Wheeljack tells him of the idea of the nucleon, and knowing the AUTOBOTS would be in utter confusion without a powerful leader, he agrees to be energized by it. And in so doing, severing the link with HiQ

But, Prime and Wheeljack easily defeated Megatron, with the other DECEPTICONS on the run. Megatron found out about the nucleon, and stole it in the retreat, with several convertible vehicles. Prime knew that the DECEPTICONS would be back. So he offered the power of the nucleon to any AUTOBOT who wished it. many AUTOBOTS took the nucleon, and forever gave up the power of transformation.

Picard offered to have the ENTERPRISE refitted as the STARBOTS. And the Doctor agreed to become Chronobot once again.

While all of this was going on, the power of Unicron, floating around for all of this time, found a Starbase and infected it, taking over all of it's functions. He refurbished the starbase to ingest planets, and began gnawing on asteroids for fuel to remake himself. Then Unicron once again set out to Cybertron.

Prime and Megatron banded the two forces of Cybertron together to go into Unicron and us the Matrix. But, Unicron had protected himself from the power of the matrix by turning off interior monitors. Then Prime and Megatron retreated, just barely escaping.

Not knowing what to do, and weakened by a power leach from Unicron, the matrix fell out of Prime's chest, Hot rod is mesmerized by it and takes it, becoming Rodimus Prime and heading for the Crystal Mountains. Where he re-unites the matrix with the mountain, awakening the Cybertronian god, Primus. Enemy of Unicron. Who's battle at the beginning of time can now be completed.

The storyboarding has taken me five years to complete, and takes up over 10 binders of various sizes. I've also added insert for the Japanese TRANSFORMERS that were never seen here in America. And ms now working on the title sequences for each story.

The size of each script is as followed: CHRONOBOT: 60 pgs. STARBOTS: 114 pgs. ACTION MASTERS: 137 pgs. Plus seven pages for the inserts for the last two.

When he finish these three, we will be ready to take on the even large projects, using my original characters. I decided to use these characters because they are popular in fandom and could be easily explained by referring to various episodes. Instead of trying to explain the intricacies of an original character to someone in a letter.
