@@The_Olive_Tree08 Hmmm, I didn’t do much to the music. It’s basically the official instrumental pitched up a little. Nowadays though there are better instrumental versions of the Tugs theme.. I have no idea where these people hide them though, I just use what’s available on CZcams.

@@LesStarport thanks for the reply, it is annoying how hard it is to find the better instrumentals. This still sound and looks great regardless. Great job.

@@LBSC70 Good advice mate.. Although trying to hold a slightly more gruffer and nasally voice would be very difficult to pull off.. but that’s the whole purpose of this video, seeing what’s wrong with the voice the most.

@@LesStarport thanks for the feedback

Although I’m sure it’s a slowdown and not speed corrected, yes I agree! It sounds so characteristic.

@@smasherjosh5000 I’m sorry can you please explain a bit better? I simply recorded this on my iPad and due to nature of CRT TVs and PAL video you will see visible flickering on camera, that can’t be fixed as far as I’m aware of. In other words IRL the TV was working fine, no flickering.

@@LesStarport on your iPad's camera can you adjust the shutterspeed to match the CRT's refresh rate? Should be around 50 you have it on way too high

@@smasherjosh5000 I have no idea, but I’ll keep that in mind for next time

@@BlakeHawkinsVA The sound of an old CRT is rather nostalgic to me. Before I became interested in tugs VHS and CRTs were away from life, reusing them again was very nostalgic. I really enjoyed watching Tugs authentically! Cheers for watching!

@@LesStarport thank you for posting too :)

@@BlakeHawkinsVA Lots of love was put into this performance, definetly one of my best performances. I understand now just how much people love my Captain Star voice it sounds so magical and fitting over the actual footage from Tugs. All this voice needed was some love pumped into it and care. Thank you for commenting!

@@LesStarport my pleasure 😊 and I can hear that dedication and love 😊

The voice is a great fit! Although I don’t know if people would want to sit through a 7 minute long Sizzler before their feature! Probably a cropped down version would be best I’d say.

Well, considering I only wrote it in literally an hour’s time I sure am pleased with how it turned out. Although, I wonder how it would have worked as a 20 Minute cut as I deliberately wrote and cut it to a short run time due to available time. Ha, thanks for your comment!

Yes! This was a teaser for what’s to come soon.

@@LesStarport oh cool will you make a zap episode out of all the zstacks he has the least personality

I meant zak

@@user-oc3qb5vo7g All I’ll say about my next project is Zak will be in it in a speaking role. But it’s not entirely a Z-Stack focused story

You know, I actually agree. but, it wasn’t me or my mates voicing the characters. I cleaned up the original dialogue audio using adobe podcast. Giving a like you said not bad not great result.

Oh I haven’t retired Chris, just been living my life, I recently got a Tugs VHS although the only problem I had with it was it got stuck in my VCR, but after changing the cassettes over, I fixed it and the player was fine (thank goodness) couldn’t afford to loose a $100 machine which can play and display in both NTSC and PAL

@@LesStarport I got one tape cassette from America NTSC it is but it works with the PAL VHS Player. It of Wile E Coyote & The Road Runner that I bought but cameras don't go well with Aussie Computers when they're NTSC. If anyone from America wants to see a program from the UK they had to pay a price to buy a VHS Player with an Aussie plug and an international plug set if it's likely to happen.

@@TheNewStoryteller lots can play NTSC but it’s usually only in PAL. What’s different about mine is it can output in genuine NTSC which works fine provided you have a Multisystem TV to go with it. I’ve played both NTSC and PAL tapes in mine and they both work fine. Well my sole NTSC tape flickers a lot (i think it’s just the output and TV struggling to keep the picture steady) but otherwise it works well. To play a PAL tape in the states though the only way to have a Multisystem VCR as most won’t play PAL.

@@LesStarport Never heard of one in existence but less of a pile up.

@@TheNewStoryteller They’re called worldwide vcrs the top range Multisystem VCRs one of my friends has one, those can play PAL on NTSC systems and vice versa. Mine though is a mid range through as it can only output PAL in PAL and NTSC in NTSC.

Only off camera

Yes, it’s now safe and sound in my collection! 📺✨🐉

Great

Yes, Did you get him in Russian?

@@LesStarport yes

@@Thomasbangbangstories2008Amazing! I only learnt about Tabaluga in recent times though. His series was made by the same company as Blinky Bill, such a beautiful cartoon. But to find a tape of him in English well, that’s harder than finding a Tugs VHS ha!

Well thank you for commenting. Starting a collection is great fun, I’d definetly advise you to go forward, make it your own. My Blinky bill collection is growing all the time. Whatever you decide to collect I wish you the best with the start of your exciting new collection.

It’s a very, very old model I made in sketchup a few years ago. Never made it publicly available due to the fact I mashed several models together to make it. So alas it’s not publicly avalible, truely sorry about that. Have a good day, Les

Quarantine and many other episodes (if not all) needed their 20 minute cuts. Haven’t been that active with the Tugs fandom in recent days so must have missed the time where towing the wreck away was a deleted scene. So fancy that.

The original for my Tugs: TTTIT Was crap. Had my old and bad models on it and was the voice over was terrible

Makes me so proud to keep the legacy of the founder of Australian animation alive. Along with some of the stuff that inspired his works, I’ve had lots of fun collecting this collection, sharing stories with some of the people I’ve bought them off. Blinky’s truely altered my way of life, much like what Tabaluga has with you. We must keep Yoram’s legacy alive otherwise his work and achievements might just fade away into the mists of time. 📽️🐇🐨🐉.

That is and no it’s an old Lima, I’ve had it for over 10 years

@@TheNewStoryteller Well like you probably already know I used to be a so called ‘Gunzel’ (you’re probably not to familiar with that term seeing there’s only a small amount of mainline railways in Tasmania). I still am sorta to this day, but due to an extensive bullying issue I lost lots of my faith in the hobby. So I transferred over to the Tugs fandom, sorta low profile but definetly one of the more watched tugs channels on YT. Back to trains, the ho/oo scale stuff I’ve had for nearly 18 years at most. I still remember being given the Lima C38. Sorta a sad story about what happened to me with and trains but that’s the world we live in.

Well yes and no, he was actually created by the German musician and singer Peter Maffay. Yoram did the cartoon series in the late 90s and early 2000s, I will make a video with him in the spotlight. But that won’t be for awhile yet. I have a friend who loves him and we talk on a regular basis. I haven’t got anything of Tabaluga in my collection yet (besides a drawing)

Yes the cartoon was done by yoram gross much like Blinky Bill and Skippy. But the character himself was created by Peter maffay. The cartoons first season definitely has some inspiration from the albums as well as the novel from the early 90s.

​@@LesStarportI hope you can find the all Australian favorite pc releases of tabaluga for your collection my friend 💖🐉

@@dragonfan1286 I’m sure one day Tabaluga will fly into my collection and warm it up with his fire! 🐉🐉
