VANCOUVER: A PARANORMAL MAP

a little early for Halloween but nonetheless...

a List of locations and spooky incidents

c/o Che Mcnabb

TRAILER - SANCTUARY

three cheers for the creative minds of Vancouver! the webisodes can be purchased from the website but this very helpful chap has posted them on Youtube. let's all send him happy thoughts.

here's a blurb from the Santuary website:

Stem cells, gene therapy, transplants, cloning… The very meaning of the word “humanity” changes daily in the modern world. But there is a darker side to the evolution of mankind, a truth only a few brave souls are willing to face : There are monsters loose in the world. And they are the key to the future of our race.

Each webisode of Sanctuary follows the exploits of Dr. Helen Magnus (AMANDA TAPPING, Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis) as she seeks out all manner of terrifying and monstrous creatures. She is aided in her quest by her reluctant protégé Will Zimmerman (ROBIN DUNNE, Dawson’s Creek, The Big Hit, Species 3) and her intrepid, if somewhat reckless daughter Ashley (EMILIE ULLERUP, Battlestar Galactica). Together they will be drawn into a frightening and mysterious world populated by beings that defy explanation.

Fusing stunning visual effects, Sanctuary takes the viewer into a thrilling world where science meets the supernatural. This fictional online universe fills the void left by traditional network television by providing multiple High Definition resolutions, immersive interaction, and direct communication between the viewer and the Sanctuary creative team.

What is Sanctuary?
Sanctuary is the first broadcast quality, High Definition dramatic series designed specifically for the internet.


What is unique about Sanctuary?
Many things:Sanctuary is the first tapeless HD digital production - using only digital media on hard drives from shooting through to post. As well, the majority of Sanctuary's first eight webisodes (approx. two hours) were shot entirely on green screen sets -- meaning the backgrounds are completely computer generated.


Additionally, we use an innovative 3D computer-model tracking system live on set, allowing actors and crew to "see" renderings of the CG worlds they are "filming" in real time.
Sanctuary recently was awarded a Guinness World Record for "Highest Budget Television Production Direct to the Web".


Who created Sanctuary?
Sanctuary was created by Sci-fi writer/producer Damian Kindler (Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis).

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Talking in statment form is the way old friends speak to each other. Statements are the mode of the intimate, the confident, and the giving. They invite others to share and make perfect metaphysical sense.

BLINDED BY LOVE, MAN STABBED IN EYE BY GIRLFRIEND

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong woman who blinded her boyfriend in one eye in a fight six years ago has been jailed for jabbing a chopstick into his other eye, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Last November, Po Shiu-fong, 58, accused long-time boyfriend Kwok Wai-ming, 49, of having an affair, the South China Morning Post reported.

During the row, Po stabbed a plastic chopstick into his left eye, which she had already blinded six years ago when she poked it with her finger.

"Po became hysterical when she saw the wound and mopped it with a towel. The pair then went to bed," the paper said.

"The next morning they had another argument in which she grabbed a chopstick and stabbed Kwok's right eye," it said.

Two days later, he sought medical treatment and filed a police report against Po, whom he had dated since 1993.

The paper said he didn't report the attack six years ago, telling the court his silence was "a love sacrifice."

Kwok lost 10 to 20 percent vision in his right eye, the paper said.
Po was jailed for six months on Tuesday.

"If I forgive her, God would not forgive me," the paper quoted Kwok as saying. "No matter what, nothing could compensate for the loss of my eye."
