Vol. II - Issue 11


It's hard to believe, but it has literally been a year to the day since the release of our last issue. But praise God we're back with brand new edition of the Templar Times! And trust me, you are in for some MAJOR updates! I purposely delayed this edition for a while just so we could put everything we were working on into this one issue.

Most of what we accomplished in 2009 is here. And because all of it has been going on behind the scenes, it has taken some time to gather it all together. We were quietly working through one of the most difficult years we've faced yet, but now that we finally have everything ready its clear that we've accomplished more than we have in the previous years combined! So without further delay, let's get right into what you're going to find in this issue!

First up is our new Video Blog featuring our recent visit to Motus Digital in Plano, Texas. You'll get a preview of how we plan to take advantage of motion capture to expand on the action for Templar: Honor Among Thieves. Find out what this technology means for our project and how it truly opens the door to some great possibilities on expanding the Templar universe!

We're also officially debuting the artwork for our teaser poster and our brand new websites for the film and for Innovative Renderworx. We're also launching our various community sites on Facebook and Twitter! And if that wasn't enough, there's also our new promo for our upcoming reality series, The Next Dragon along with info on the various events we will be attending throughout the coming months.

So with all that said, I hope that this all makes up for the long season of silence. Enjoy the updates and be sure to leave us your thoughts on our various community sites!

Until next time!

To follow our journey throughout the production of Templar: Honor Among Thieves, we've created an ongoing Video Blog that will give you a closer look at everything and everyone involved in this landmark project. In this latest episode, we invite you to join us on a visit to Motus Digital in Plano, Texas as we explore the technology behind motion capture and see how we plan to implement it into the action we have planned for Templar: Honor Among Thieves.

I personally created the official teaser poster for Templar: Honor Among Thieves in November of 2008. I styled it after the work of my favorite poster artist of all time, Drew Struzan. It took over 2 months to complete and was painted completely in Adobe Photoshop. Many of our cast and crew have already seen this but this is the first time I'm putting it out there for everyone else to see. I waited to release this primarily because I wanted to incorporate the design into the new website. Enjoy!

 


All of our websites have been updated and now feature bold new designs! Check them out to get even more info on everything we're currently working on!

Our company website gives you an overview of all the technical aspects of our productions and gives you an in depth look at how we operate. We've also included info on how you can join our team!

The official site for Templar: Honor Among Thieves has been revised with a wealth of brand new content! You'll find all our Video Blogs here for the first time. Our gallery section now includes over 150 samples of conceptual artwork as well as still photos documenting our journey up until now!

And finally, we have the official site for our upcoming reality series, The Next Dragon. You'll get some key info about what we have in store for you plus, if you think you've got what it takes, you can register online to be a contestant!

And if that isn't enough for you, all of our sites are now connected to corresponding community site pages on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter! Sign on to leave your comments, upload pictures, participate in online forums and so much more! We've literally made it impossible for you not to keep up with us!
