Right, One for you music video lovers.
A couple of years ago I saw a music video on one of the MTV type channels and I am trying to find out what band it was for and what the track was called.
The reason I am asking the Mighty Hivemind is because the video was like a mini movie following the Journey through the cosmos of a space ship travelling from a (I think) space station to a planet (a future earth type thing). It's all CGI and has warp gate type travel and stages separating and the like and the planet the astronauts land on is all desert and environment suit worthy but has some obvious earth land mark sticking out of the sand (a bit Planet of the Apes).
So, any ideas?

As in music? or the Euro Comic film? if music then noooo the music was more Indi a bit like Keane stuff really. If the Euro comic film it was very modern realistic CGI not 80s animation.

Oh mighty Hive mind- I implore you...
Does anyone have any scanned ref images of Siadwell Rhys? The Red Dragon from Zenith book 1. I'm not after the whole story- just a couple of decent costume shots would suffice.
also- does anyone know what happened to Oddboys Zenith site- I can't find it?
Please and thangyew...

There was a thread about it a while back, though I don't think it was definitive. I think it was called 'Didn't they do well' or something.
Tappin was part of Ark VFX wasn't he? I really loved his work on Rogue Trooper when I was a kid - time for a reappraisal of Abnett/White/Tappin-era RT?

I'm thinking of purchasing all of the pages of marvellous Colin MacNeill art that featured Judge Glasswell. I believe I manage a couple of sassy lines (but have probably since died from a severe double entendre)
Fatboy Dale has the whole story but I just want the pages where I'm mentioned by name.
It's in the Mutie Camps story line - roundabout Prog 1546 - but I don't have the progs available.
Could anybody help please? And who lettered it? (I want to do a lettered overlay)

Don't tell me this is where I find out I dreamt it all.
Maybe it's not in 1546 after all - but I'm sure I was somewhere in that storyline.

C'mon, that'd be the funniest thing ever! And I only say this because last might I had a very realistic (if entirely implausible) dream involving Keira Knightley, which I was convinced on waking had actually happened. BOLLOCKS, I thought, 5 seconds later.
Note: My waking mind has no particular interest in Ms. Knightley. Apparently my subconcious begs to differ.

Judge Glasswell is refered to by name only once in the story, and that is on page 2 of prog 1546.
His badge is never seen clearly enough for his name to be shown, but the closest would be prog 1547 page 6.

Hive-mind- I have a conundrum for you.
I've done some RAM upgrading and gotten an external Hard drive as well. One of the things I've done is remove all the comic makey programs and reinstall them on the external drive to free up space on the C.
So far so good- except that Illustrator didn't uninstall properly, and so when I am trying to install (This is Illustrator 10, not a CS version) it I don't have the option to install- just repair. Repairing is no good, and telling it to uninstall just leaves me in the same boat I was in.
I've gone through the control panel to delete the program as well and that didn't fix anything.
The point of my post: Is there a utility I can download that I can use to clean the program out properly and in doing so allow me to try to reinstall?
Getting really fed up know as I have lettering jobs mounting up (though unlike Jim I don't get paid)

Nope, tried that. If I ask it to uninstall it just runs and closes- the program is still there. Repair gave me a boggling list of options that required highlighting. I did this and the program ran till it came up with an error- though this was last night and I can't remember the exact wording.
