At Alf's Sleigh Service Centre at the North Pole, the ALF mechanics give their full attention to Santa's MK11 sleigh. Turning the key for starters, making the preferred fuel - carrot juice for the reindeer - and pumping it into the tank. High Tech rubber bands in the spare parts division.
Elves not secured into position as yet.
Designed and made by StudioM at our workshop in 2003 - copyright. This scene has been displayed many times. After we made this scene it was sold, without transfer of copyright, to a promotions and animation company, which added some simple up and down motion by means of inserting an overhead rotating shaft and cam system which had the moving cams attached to objects below which would rise and fall with each rotation of the cams. Any claims by this company to be 'the creative force' and 'mastermind' behind it are completely false and illegal.
Elves by Juanita in Clifton to our specifications. Original sketches and specifications to doll maker are held by StudioM, together with copyright.
The Toymaker scene designed and created by RGM StudioM in our Tinbeerwah workshed. The midnight elves from the scene which were made by Juanita to our specifications. The candle has an LED which when connected emits a red glow. There are also small lights in the window scene to appear as stars. Both lighting effects add life to the scene which has always been popular with visitors to our workshop and a personal favourite. The elves have just been placed in position at this stage without hands properly being attached nor being able to stand - hence the pins in the hands.
Designed and made by StudioM at our studio in 2003. Copyright held. After this photo was taken, this scene was sold to a promotions and puppet company which added some very simplistic motion by installing an overhead rotating shaft and cam system with fishing lines attached between the cams and objects below, causing a slight up and down movement with each rise and fall of the rotating cam on the shaft. However, any subsequent claim made by this company or its director to the scene's creation or design would be COMPLETELY FALSE, deliberately misleading and against StudioM's copyright. Original sketches of the scene and the mice, designs and specifications to the doll maker are retained by StudioM along with copyright.
Juanita in Clifton made elves and mouse to our drawings and specifications.
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.

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.

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.

My first window design for Smitten Kitten. Totally inspired by a similar window designed by Anthropologie. Over 40 balloon poodles were created and strung on leashes which were attached to a Lollycopter vintage chiffon nightie. A pink "7" decal commemorates the stores 7th birthday celebration.
The true depth of the scene -less than 50mm - can be seen here. If you look for the scene from the front in another photo it looks deceivably deeper.

Last minute repairs to Santa's outfit - Christmas Eve. Scene designed and created by RGM from StudioM in 2004 at our Tinbeerwah/Cooroy workshed.AFTER this photo was taken, it was sold to an animation and Promotions company which put in some simple up an down motion with the elves and some objects. This was achieved by inserting overhead a simple rotating shaft and cam system. A method often used to animate scenes. All rights remain with StudioM. False claims since by this company and its puppeteer director to be the 'creative force' and 'mastermind' behind it are completely false, deliberately misleading and an infringement of our copyright.
StudioM commissioned a dollmaker in Clifton, Juanita Wellings , to make a Santa face on a portion of a broomstick so that we could add the hair and beard to the face and then put the broomstick into the torso we had made, thus enabling some movement of the head if desired. She also made the elves - and the mice to our design, drawings and specifications. Originals of the sketches, drawings and specification notes remain with StudioM as does the copyright.
The mice have found a present that they think will suit them just fine. They have removed the Doll cottage sign and have nailed in their own to confirm tenancy.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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
