\"Waitron\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meet Waitron, the daikaiju waiter!<\/p>\n

Waitron is Todd Tennant’s latest creation for Frank Wu’s Guidolon project and it is representative of the new phase that it has entered — the full-length feature film years.<\/p>\n

“The Tragical Historie of Guidolon, the Giant Space Chicken” began its public life as a story in the form of a screenplay that appeared in an anthology I edited with Robin Pen: Daikaiju! Giant Monster Tales<\/strong><\/a> (originally published by Agog! Press in 2005 and subsequently<\/a> reprinted by Agog! Press and Prime Books in the US).<\/p>\n

Frank Wu, the story’s author, went on to produce the story as a short film, with the help of assorted talented friends, including Todd. Here it is in all its 11-minute glory:<\/p>\n

Frank used this short film as a “sample pitch” for a TV series, “Guidolon and Friends Half-Power Half-Hour”, but has now resolved to spend the next few years producing it as a feature film. You can find out all about Guidolon and his history here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the other talented people Frank has worked with on the project is artist Suzanne Forbes, who has put a collection of her “Guidolon” working sketches up on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n
