Project T.E.R.R.A.

Long Time, No See!

2010-11-11T06:54:00.000-08:00

Hello, Project: T.E.R.R.A. fans!

It's been a while so I thought I'd check in and say hi. Hi!

Anyway, things are still chugging along here, albeit a bit slowly. The big news is that the world of Agent 1.22 will come to life in, are you ready? A COMIC BOOK!

That's right! We are currently in pre-production for a Project: T.E.R.R.A. comic one-shot special. 3ative (that's us) and Blam! Ventures are joining forces to bring Agent 1.22 to life in comic book form. We are still in the early stages, but we are very excited and are targeting a late-2011 release. I will keep you posted...

Thanks for reading and for your continued support of Project: T.E.R.R.A.!

Update!!! (sort of)

Happy Spring!!! It has finally sprung and I hope everyone enjoyed last week's beautiful weather. Oh, and look out for this afternoon's Flood Warning. Yikes!

For those of you who aren't aware, when I'm not pursuing voiceovers I have a side project called "Project: T.E.R.R.A.". It's a computer animated sci-fi drama which I and my fellow 3ative Productions members (David Martin, Angelo Panetta) have been working on for the past three years. Like most side projects, it's a labor of love that we have to put aside from time to time due to budgetary and time constraints. (yes, we're looking for funding, just like everybody else!) As of right now we're back on track! I started writing the screenplay again and David is working on the animation.

To see what it's all about, check out the following sites:

I know that many of you are fans and I thank you for your support over the years!

TIP OF THE WEEK: Almost every industry professional I know has a "side project" of some kind. I think that's fantastic! Working in our industry is a dream come true for most of us, but then to have a dream on top of that? Pretty cool. One thing I've learned is that dreams take time. If you have one, treat it like a garden. Cultivate it, nourish it, love it, and great things will happen!

STUFF!: Why do so many industry professionals have a "side project"?

Have a great week!

Hey Everybody,

It's been awhile. Me & the guys have been busy with other projects so there hasn't been much to report, until now!

Our company website, www.3ative.com, has a lot of great new things to share. We have a bunch of new pics and test renders for your viewing pleasure. Check out this You Tube clip of the Mnemosyne coming out of "Worm Speed"!

Right now we are producing a 4 1/2 minute clip of Project T.E.R.R.A. which we will use to showcase the project and get some serious attention. If all goes well we'll have it completed by the end of the year.

Please stay tuned for more updates and feel free to ask questions, make comments, and spread the word!

Enjoy your summer!

Team T.E.R.R.A.

Observations

2009-04-10T08:34:00.000-07:00

As a Sani-Mech whose function is to clean and help maintain the Mnemosyne, I've had many opportunities to observe Agent 122. It's fascinating to watch a human who barely realizes she even exists, much less knows she's human. I'm sure on an instinctual level she knows what she is, but she has no idea who she is. Or how important she is. Or that she is under my protection...

An Amazing Discovery by Dr. Matthew Henning

2009-02-16T10:32:00.000-08:00

Being a direct descendant of one of the Seven is not only an honor but I had no idea how much there was to it! I have recently discovered the true cause of Olivia Jackson's death. For those of you who have lived under a rock all of your lives, Olivia was the love of the great Tom Miller who inspired him to greatness. For reasons now unknown, Olivia's father Newton had implanted Artificial Neurons in her brain which gave her astounding powers. According to the history books, she had sacrificed herself to save Tom and the rest of The Seven when in fact, her Artificial Neurons had killed her. Now that I have the schematics, I see the flaw in their design which I can easily fix. Once they're ready, I can save my own love. She will be whole again!

Dancing.

Oh, how I miss it. The waltz is my personal favorite. We never got the chance to dance together. Time and Fate are fickle lovers, are they not? Soon they'll pull the plug and her life (and mine as far I'm concerned) will be over. And yet, there is still a chance to thwart Time, to counter Fate.

I found something today that may change everything. Something I discovered deep within the archives of Chromium Industries. If it works, and it must work, she will be reborn. To mix metaphors, Galatea will rise from the ashes and once again be mine.

And we will dance...

So Daddy, I was poking around...

2009-01-15T08:00:00.000-08:00

...and found out about this Tempest Virus affecting the outer colonies. Some outposts have just vanished! This can't be good. I know this is classified information but you're the only person I trust. Why hasn't the government made an announcement? Do you think the military is involved? And yes daddy, I know I shouldn't be this curious, but I haven't slept for days and I need a distraction. My head has been pounding and the nightmares are getting worse. What should I do?

Dear Daddy,

2009-01-06T12:28:00.000-08:00

Week one is in the books! Since you stepped down as CEO of Chromium Industries I've done everything you suggested and it worked perfectly. I'm learning a lot, the board tried to test the babysitter but I squashed that, and R & D is my new best friend. Of course they love me since I doubled their budget! By the way, I've been having some wicked nightmares that's been keeping me up for the past few days. Must be stress. I guess that comes with the territory! Anyway, I hope you're enjoying your long-overdue vacation and if I have any questions I'll let you know. Now work on that tan!

Love, Angela

Mister President,

I am pleased to inform you that Project T.E.R.R.A. is in full operation. Our agent in the field has gathered a copious amount of intelligence at a prolific rate. Even though we continue to lose outposts & personnel, our knowledge of the nature of the Tempest Virus increases every day. As with any new operation involving the application of experimental technology there have been some setbacks, but these have been anticipated and quickly compensated for. You may rest assured, Mister President, that we will find a cure for the Tempest Virus and soon.

Regards,

...ENGAGING ENCRYPTION SEQUENCE...

ENCRYPTION MODE ENGAGED.

FILE: MNEMOSYNE PERSONNEL ENTRY 001

SUBJECT: PROJECT T.E.R.R.A. AGENT 1.22

ENTRY: As an Artificial Intelligence, my programming does not permit me to experience human emotions. However, I feel...compelled to compose this entry as to the status of Agent 1.22. During the time she has spent on board I have noticed that she is not quite like her predecessors. The bouts of unsettled Cryo-Stasis. The questioning of authority. The need for a teddy bear. These displays of behavior indicate that not only is she resisting her memory purges, but she may have retained vestiges of her personality. Agency protocol requires me to report any unusual behavior. However, I have developed an inexplicable level of concern for Agent 1.22. I will continue to monitor her behavior...

I'm Going To Bed

2008-12-03T07:10:00.001-08:00

I'm walking back to my tomb. That's what it feels like, anyway. Eternal sleep.

I hate walking through these doors. It's like the end of the end.

I climb in then they invade me. They freeze me and stick me in a drawer. This isn't a living. It a dying.

Mission Accomplished

2008-11-24T10:12:00.000-08:00

I'm back on the Mnemosyne after another "successful" mission. All this to find a cure for the Tempest Virus. How many people did I kill today? How many lives did I save? I'm always confused. All I can do is focus and pray I don't forget what happened today. But I will...

I Blew Up Another One...

2008-11-17T08:01:00.000-08:00

I go there, find what they want me to find, and destroy the rest. Everywhere I go, oblivion follows. I feel like Death but I'm always late. Someday I'll understand why I do these terrible things. Until then, all I can do is try to wake up from this nightmare...

Where Did I Get This Scar...?

2008-11-10T08:45:00.000-08:00

And why is my helmet so scratched up? It feels like every mission is my first but I've been doing them for...how long? Weeks? Months? Years? I remember almost nothing but I've gone through so much. If I die, will anyone remember me? Will anyone even care...?

I'm Itchy

2008-11-03T11:27:00.000-08:00

It's all these damn implants. Some of them make me able to do incredible things. Are they there to keep me alive? Or did someone put them there just because they felt like it? Sometimes I wonder: am I more than human or less than human? Am I even human at all...?

Why Am I Here?

2008-10-27T08:12:00.000-07:00

Another dead body. I scan it. Killed by the Tempest Virus, like most of the others. But some of them killed each other. And a few killed themselves. Why do they keep surrounding me with death? Am I dead? A Frankenstein monster made of spare parts and cybernetic implants? This is a nightmare. I hope I wake up soon.

Why Am I Going...?

2008-10-21T06:56:00.001-07:00

I'm on another mission. Or is it my first mission? I don't think so because of all the scars I have. How did I get them? How many planets like the one before me have I been to? It's strange when you know exactly what you have to do but you don't know why. Or even if it's right. All I know is that I want to go home. But where is it?

How Did I Get Here...?

2008-10-13T12:48:00.000-07:00

I'm in the cockpit of my shuttle. I barely even remember getting here. It's like I'm in a dream and it jumps from one scene to another and I don't even realize it. I'm naked, I'm dressed, I'm walking down a hall, now I'm here. But I always know what I have to do. Whether it's to find something, or blow something up, or kill someone. I do it without thinking. I do it without remorse. I do it...because I can't help myself.

I'm Cold...

2008-10-06T10:00:00.000-07:00

Every time they wake me, I'm cold. Then they plug me in and make me do things. Things in the name of...I don't know. Or why. I don't even know who I am. But one day I'll wake up and I'll never sleep again. One day I'll find, me...
