The revolutionary Elfy Printing Machine in use at the Elfy Times office, North Pole. The glam Fashion Editor is on the phone, Dharling.
Scene designed and made by StudioM at our workshop in 2003 - copyright held. Photo taken at StudioM workshop BEFORE its sale to an animation and promotions company. The company put in some simple motion to the scene by placing, overhead, a rotating shaft and cam system to which they attached fishing lines to objects below to create some simple up and down motion. It has been exhibited in many places. However any claims made by this company or its puppeteer director to being the 'creator', the 'creative force' and/or the 'mastermind' behind the scene's creation, would be COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of our copyright. The Elfy Printing machine sign states the designer clearly and should, under copyright law, be visibly seen as it is here -'Designed by StudioM Cooroy QLD'. Further acknowledgement is on the sign on wall to right of the machine in this photo. The company had no creative input into the scene and saw it for the first time as seen here, as was the case for every other window scene shown on these pages.
Elves/mice made by Juanita Wellings in Clifton to StudioM specifications/drawings and mouse design. All originals of design drawings, sketches, specifications and communications re all our scenes are retained by StudioM as is their copyright.

A peek at the books on shelves which acknowledge designers and makers. Studio M partly seen on book titled 'Design and Creation'. Hover mouse on photo to see. By copyright law, this attribution to the creators of this scene should still be visible as shown.
Designed and made by StudioM at our workshop in Cooroy/Tinbeerwah in Noosa hinterland. Moral rights/ copyright held RGM StudioM. Sold to an animation and Promotions company AFTER this photo was taken and claims since by this company and its director to be its creator, 'the mastermind' and 'creative force' behind it are COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement against our copyright. After its sale, the company inserted overhead a simple mechanism consisting of a rotating shaft and cams to enable some very simplistic up and down motion to objects below. This is a commonly used system to give gentle motion to scenes such as these. Many people have enjoyed this and our other scenes in the 'frozen' state of motion as seen in these photos. All original sketches, designs and instructions are retained by StudioM along with copyright. Inferior copies of the scenes and ideas displayed on this site have been manufactured by this company since.
Mice and Elves - J Wellings in Clifton made to our drawings and specifications and unlike the promotions company, I have correctly and honestly given acknowledgement to her work in the scene on the book shown here, titled 'Mice and Elves' by J. Wellings.

The midnight elves in the Midnight Kitchen scene that I made in 2003 - the second scene where I put mice in and the first of the 'mouse being rolled in pastry' which I then continued to use in kitchen scenes afterwards. At the bottom of the fireplace behind table, I experimented shaping celluloid sheets into a shape of a clump of coals, which had some parts painted black and other parts painted with clear 2 pack epoxy that had orange dye added, so that when a light was dropped in behind and underneath it, it exuded a warm red glow appearing as glowing live coals. When we did this at our studio it gave an effect. Copyright on scene belongs to StudioM as the designer and creator. The scene was sold to an animations and promotions company after this photo was taken, and has had objects removed and altered from it. A pity as it was a very good scene as it was. Any claims by the company or its puppeteer director to being 'the mastermind' or 'creative force' behind it are COMPLETELY false, dishonest and against our copyrights. All original sketches, drawings and specifications to the dollmaker re the scene are retained by StudioM along with copyright.
Juanita in Clifton made elves and the mice (to my drawing and instructions, the original sketches and instructions are retained by StudioM along with copyright.

At Alf's Sleigh Service Centre all the little 'Alfs' are busy servicing and preparing Santa's sleigh for his 'Big Night Out' delivering presents around the world. The Catering Officer on the right is so stuck on testing Santa's food supply that he appears to be carrying most of it around his middle area and is now stuck literally as he loads up the catering into the hull of the sleigh. Elves have not been fixed in place only positioned so they look a bit sleepy. This is an original scene designed and made by StudioM at our small studio in 2003 Copyright held. The scene creation was sold to a promotions company, which inserted over the scene some mechanism to provide some simple up and down motion by means of a simple overhead rotating shaft and cam system. Fishing lines connecting with objects/ puppets and the rotating cams create movement below. Subsequent claims since by parties other than StudioM to be the 'creative force' and 'Mastermind' behind it are COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading, and an infringement of StudioM's copyright. As in all of the scenes we designed and made, we have retained all original sketches, specifications and instructions together with copyrights.

Designed and made by StudioM at our workshop in Cooroy/Tinbeerwah hinterland. Moral rights/ copyright held RGM StudioM. AFTER this photo was taken it was sold to a promotions company which animated the scene with simple up and down motions by way of an overhead rotating shaft and cam system inserted above the scene. Fishing lines between the rotating cams and objects below create a slight up and down motion all of which is a common method used to provide simplistic motions. It has been exhibited widely since. Claims by parties other than StudioM to being the scene's creator,the'mastermind' or the 'creative force' behind the scene are COMPLETELY false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of our copyright.
The photo shows the original signpost showing StudioM sign as the designers and creators as it was at our studio. Any changes made to this sign since is an infringement of copyright to the true artist and creator of the scene..StudioM. All original drawings and specifications are retained by StudioM.
Juanita Wellings in Clifton made elves/mice to RGM drawings and specifications.
