The books in this photo taken at our workshop in 2005 give the identity of the designers and creators. Designed and made by StudioM at our workshop in Cooroy/Tinbeerwah hinterland. Moral rights/ copyright held RGM StudioM. View in largest size to read clearly. Sold, as seen here, to an animation and Promotions company which put in overhead mechanism to provide simplistic up and down movements...a simple method which is commonly used in such scenes for simple motion. This company has exhibited it widely since but their claims to be 'the mastermind' and 'creative force' behind it are COMPLETELY false, misleading and an abuse of copyright to the designer and creator, StudioM.
Juanita made elves and mice in her home at Clifton in 2005 to StudioM's specifications and drawings ...as with all of our scenes, all originals of any artwork, sketches, instructions to outside suppliers, remain with StudioM as does copyright.
David Jones Christmas windows, Sydney, 2006 .... The 'Deck the Halls' Christmas window scene that StudioM designed and created, this photo showing the 3 flying ducks on the wall, all of which were made by RGM. The wings are hinged to allow them to flap up and fall down with the tug of a fishing line. The clock with the face which is made to rotate freely and easily from side to side as well. All six window scenes were designed and made by StudioM at our home studio in Tinbeerwah for use in the David Jones 2006 Christmas windows, under contract to a promotions company that was employed by David Jones to install the windows for the first time.

Mice croquet skills show an eggscellent score for the mouse chef. The chef mouse above is getting a bit of a rolling whilst the scene is scattered with egg shells - eggs like promises are easily broken.
The oven has a space behind it for a low voltage light which shines through the vent openings giving the scene a lot of life. There is a lot of space behind for heat to escape but can use a cool LED to create this effect which does add life to the scene.
Designed and made by StudioM at our workshop in Cooroy/Tinbeerwah hinterland. Moral rights/ copyright held RGM StudioM. This scene was sold to an animation and promotions company AFTER photo taken and as with our other 70 scenes they bought has been widely displayed and exhibited. Claims by the promotions company and its director to be 'the mastermind' and 'creative force behind it' are completely false, misleading and an infringement of our copyright.

Products now fill the window via spray painted cinder blocks, a miniature vintage replica tubular steel jungle gym, a repurposed utility poles, upcycled tennis shoe props hang over the scrapped electrical wires as a mannequin looks on!
Meanwhile in the North Pole Weather Bureau next door, the elf is reading 'up to the minute' data to predict the weather. The rain guage on the side of the bureau shack is resting on its side and consequently the readings for each month show nil rainfall measured. I wonder why that is.
Scene designed and made under contract by RGM of StudioM, Tinbeerwah.

Lots of action in the Paint-O-Matic scene. Elves hammering, playing with puppets, sawing, sewing, pulling up the train along the track, painting the toy train with the paint-o-matic machine, the tray of the toy truck in foreground also lifts up with the elf standing on it. Its hard to tell where the scene ends and reality begins between the scene and the real workshop where so many of these scenes have been made over five years. All designed and created by Studio M at our tinshed workshop as shown - copyright for such held by StudioM. Sold AFTER photo taken to a local animation and Promotions company which put in some simple motion by means of an overhead rotating shaft with cams lifting fishing lines to items below. Exhibited many times by this company. Claims by it and its director to being the 'mastermind' and 'creative force' behind it are completely false, misleading and an infringement of copyright.

The teacher doesn't get this one - nor anyone else.The StudioM sign as designer and creator of this scene is seen on the book behind the Professor. Hover mouse over to see this note.
Scene designed and created by StudioM at our home workshop and sold after its completion to a Promotions company which has exhibited it widely and used in its advertising in different media. The company inserted an overhead shaft and cam sytem to allow some gentle up and down motion to the scene - a common method for use in such scenes. However, subsequent caims by this company and its director to being the 'ceator', 'mastermind or 'creative force behind it' are COMPLETELY false, dishonestly misleading and an infringement of StudioM's copyright. All original designs, sketches of scene, the professor and mice, as well as specific instructions to the dollmaker in Clifton, Juanita Wellings, are retained by StudioM as the copyright holders.

Poor imitation copies of the scene have since been displayed by this promotions company.
So much for 'Hand on the heart - word as a gentleman' speeches of an actor.
The original design sketch I did for the big sleigh. Jan 2002. Designed by StudioM 2002 to be made for shopping centres where Santa visits. Designed to have a scene inserted into a viewing window at the rear, which shows the inside workings and mechanics of a flying sleigh. Something to view whilst waiting for your Santa photo and also discover how Santa's sleigh really flies and how it is navigated to reach children all over the world. Santa and children sit in the seat with Santa and have their photo taken. After I designed this it was built by a Promotions company and displayed at Clifford Gardens Shopping Centre in Toowomba. I made the scene which went into the back of the sleigh showing the workings and activity inside Santa's famous sleigh and worked well in the setting. This scene of the sleigh's mechanics has been displayed in many settings inc Santa's Kingdom 2005 and David JOnes Magic Cave. Original sketches and design held by StudioM. Copyright StudioM.

Scene designed and made by StudioM at our Tinbeerwah home workshed. AFTER photo was taken it was sold to a Promotions company which added some simple motion to the scene. These were simplistic movements operated from a rotating shaft with cams inserted above the scene.The cams are connected with fishing lines to various objects below, eg the suitcase handle, which moves up and down with each turn of the cam. This is a commonly used method to provide simple, uncomplicated animation. The scene has been exhibited many times by this company. However, any claims made by the company or its director to being the 'creative force' and 'the mastermind' behind it or to having had any input into the original creation as seen here, are completely false, misleading and an infringement of copyright.

Everyone knows happy cows make the sweetest milk. The cow RGM made for our scene which StudioM designed and made ( copyright held by StudioM ) for use in the Cadbury factory in NZ by a promotions company which bought the scene from StudioM. This cow has been carefully tended to by the little Cadbury folk in the factory. Its head can turn from side to side with a gentle pull and drop motion as StudioM pivoted it on a rod between the back wall and the body.

The 'Jingle Bells' Christmas window scene which was used in the 2006 David Jones Christmas window displays in its construction stages. Some of the snow forms are in place with the sliding box that Peter designed for the toboggan to sit on and allow to be pulled, secured in place. The box was made by the animation company which contracted us to design and make the scenes for them, as they were responsible for movements and any problems that may be incurred with such. This was made to our design specifications and sketches - the box and mechanics underneath made by the company's fitter and turner responsible for the movements.

One of the mice has unwrapped a present and found just what he wants. Thanks Santa. The gentle elf above is fascinated by the reflections in the bauble and as he lifts it, his face and eyes will be largely reflected as is the person taking photo ie RGM at StudioM's workshop.

Flying planes, spot painting, doll making and racing like the wind.The first toy workshop StudioM designed and made at our studio in Tinbeerwah. Copyright held. Claims by the animation company that bought it from us and added an overhead rotating shaft and cam system to create some slight up and down motion in the scene with fishing lines connected between the cams and objects below, that they created the scene, are the 'mastermind' and the 'creative force' behind it and our other scenes are COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of StudioM's copyright as the designer and creator.

Juanita made elves in Clifton.
DeePee, the elf on top, seems happy and carefree whilst screwing the poor mouse underneath caught up in it all. Meanwhile Silly elf is merrily sawing a piece of timber and cutting through the bench supporting it, blissfully unaware of what is happening.
Scene designed and made by StudioM at our workshed in 2005 - copyright held RGM StudioM. The scene was sold to a Promotions and animation company after this photo was taken. The company added some simple motion by inserting above the scene, a rotating shaft and cam system to which fishing lines were attached to objects below causing a slight up and down movement as the cams rotate. This is a common method and is simple to do. The scene has also been enjoyed by many visitors to our workshop, in its present 'captured frozen moment' state without any movement. Subsequent claims by this promotions company or its puppeteer director claiming to be 'the creator', 'the mastermind' or 'creative force behind it' are COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of StudioM's copyright. They had no creative input into the scene as seen here and saw it for the first time on delivery. All original drawings, sketches and specifications to the dollmaker are retained by StudioM along with copyright.

Designed and made by StudioM at our workshop in Cooroy/Tinbeerwah hinterland. Moral rights/ copyright held by RGM StudioM. This scene was sold after this photo was taken to a promotions company and has been exhibited many times since.

The exterior of the Midnight Kitchen scene - the windows are translucent so that light can shine through which gives a realistic effect. We made this scene so that with a portable roof dropped onto it, a standard base with stones painted on it and pine trees set up around it, it could be placed on its own or with a group of similar scenes in a space such as a shopping centre mall without much set up required.
Designed and made by StudioM at our studio - copyright 2003 held.
Same shot as the other one but with the main lights on as well as the internal shop lights for the Candy Store and Christmas Shop. Good to see it both ways

A loss of San^atea on the job. It's very important to use safe jacking techniques under cars.The ice and the elves are hanging around the car. When put in motion, the puppets can move up and down as they are connected by fishing lines to rotating cams on a rotating shaft from above the scene. Designed and made by StudioM at our Home studio. Copyright held. AFTER it was built, the scene was sold to an animation and Promotions company, which added the mechanism above this scene to put in motion. Claims by this company and its director to be the 'creative force' and the 'mastermind' behind it are COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of StudioM's copyright. Displayed many times with this false claim having been made.

Making the Easter eggs is a very elfy business. Putting chocolate into moulds and joining them together with sticky tape or bandaids. Putting the egg into the 'Creme Eggs', making the fruity creme interiors, spinning the chocolate in moulds, dropping nuts into chocolate to coat, a busy factory of workers working to the music played by the musical elf, Wulfenite, while the mechanical elf, Zirconia, plays with his tools and the egg mould spinning thing. These Magical Elves, their names and personalities are as shown on the Cadbury website and on Cadbury's Magical Elves products which we wanted to include as part of Cadbury's already known products.
