"RED HOLY MOTHER" ~ Coming Soon!

From "Red Holy Mother" by Nagaoka Chiaki 
Based on characters from Yana Toboso's Kuroshitsuji 

Hello 3DF fans! We are getting back in full swing, starting with a new mini-project!

Based on the fan-comic of the same name, Red Holy Mother is a Ripper arc tale. Everyone's favorite partners-in-crime, Angelina "Madam Red" Durless and Grell Sutcliff, muse over their exploits, comparing the lovely lady to the story of Mary Magdalene. A woman unchosen, the first to witness rebirth, but this time...unrepentant.

3DF Grell-veteran, Mr. Curt Rose, once again claims his red throne as the crimson Grim Reaper of passion. Madam Red, however, is played by our newest 3DF debutante, Ms. Samantha Charland. She will also be playing Francis Midford in the upcoming BLACK BUTLER: Campania.

Stay tuned for more info!

CLUE: Main Cast Decided

After I announced CLUE a while back, my director senses immediately began tingling on who the main characters would go to. CLUE has always had a very colorful cast, whether talking about the film that we're set to adapt or even various incarnations of the game itself. (Did you know that there was actually a game show version in the UK? Look it up on YouTube; it's rather interesting!)

Thankfully, 3DF has the talent to do it. Your favorite VAs return to take on the wackiest suspects known to man. Minor roles have yet to be determined, but the main seven are as follows: James Hall as Wadsworth the butler, Jason Marnocha as Colonel Mustard, Samantha Ylagan as Mrs. White, Dylan Spencer as Professor Plum, Rina Adachi as Ms. Scarlet, Pam Larson as Mrs. Peacock, and Curt Rose as Mr. Green.

More news to come!

P3 Special Edition, This Sunday 8/5

So I previously mentioned something about a big special edition of the P3, our Post-Production Podcast. It's still on. It's still going to happen. Real life and scheduling and what not just tends to get in the way. It's a pain, but it's true. 3DF is sadly not our day job.

With some free time opening up, we are proceeding as planned. This Sunday, August 5th, some of 3DF's Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji fan-audio cast will be gathering to record a special post-finale edition of the P3. Memories, reminiscing, derailed conversation by the first subject, you know, the usual!

But free time isn't the only reason. August 5th is also the first anniversary of our first audio, His Butler, Able. We officially debuted the project on 8/5/11, and it's been a wonderful year since. So what better day to get together and celebrate the project that started it all?

Currently RSVPed the affirmative and scheduled to attend are the following: Jason Marnocha (Sebastian, Drocell, Eric Slingby), Rina Adachi (Ciel, Luci from Stella), Curt Rose (Grell, Finny), Dylan Spencer (William, Baldroy), Samantha Ylagan (Lizzie, Alois, Stella Brooks from Stella) and Pam Larson (Mey-Rin, Kat from Stella). Denise Kelter (Paula) is also planning to step in for an appearance. Please be aware, any of this can change at any time.

Thoughts and Prayers to CO

On behalf of 3DF, I would like to take this time to send continued thoughts, prayers, well wishes - whatever suits best - to those who fell victim of the shootings last Thursday night in Aurora, CO. What was supposed to be a wonderful night at the movies turned into a most unfortunate event that has reminded many of us how precious life is. As always, in the worst of times, all of you have the support and good vibes behind you from your fellow citizens.

All my best

3DF Honors Dave Kelter

So, today's a very special day for a very special person. And on 3DF, that's a pretty big deal.

I'm very fortunate to have the most loving family in the world. In a time when a lot of imagination and creativity has become suppressed, my family has been very supportive and encouraging in many of 3DF's endeavors. I know of few parents and siblings who would take time out of a busy schedule to record a guest spot. You've heard all of the Kelter household at some point or another. My brother has played a few small roles, including Timber in Black Butler: The Spider's Intention. My mother is a regular with 3DF, being the "narrative" voice of Turnabout Reminiscence and Paula in Black Butler: My Fair Lady. I guess those you could kind of expect. My brother's always wanted to be an actor, and Mom's been doing voices for me since I was a kid and she read me bed time stories.

And then there's my Dad. :) He was a cop for 29 years, a big guy with a very tough reputation and a heart of gold. Long and short of it, not someone you would expect to just get behind a microphone and record a couple of lines for a radio-play. And yet, he's done it. I tried to make it easy for him, casting him in roles that he's played in real life, mostly police oriented. You can currently hear him in Act 3 of Turnabout Reminiscence, where he has a one-liner as a courthouse baliff.

But he's had a bigger role before, and with The Dark Knight Rises coming to movie theaters next week, I think it's an appropriate time to let this be heard. Those who have been with me since Day 1 remember an unreleased project that started it all, Batman: Chronicles of Arkham. Well, I couldn't imagine anyone better for the role of Commissioner Gordon than my own father. He only had a short 20 second scene, but he did a wonderful job.

Thus, in honor of his birthday this weekend, I release this for the first time to the public. A rough original cut from Chronicles, featuring the voices of P.J. Simmers as Batman and Dave "The Commish" Kelter, Sr. as Commissioner Gordon. If you would like to see the lovely original trailer, made by our very own Jason Marnocha, be sure to check it out here!

To Dad: Thank you for everything. I don't say that as often as I should, and I know I'm not always the easiest person to deal with. But know that everything you do is appreciated more than you know. Love you and happy birthday! <3

ASHES Tomorrow (6/27); P3 Special to Follow

3DF's BLACK BUTLER: From the Ashes will be released tomorrow, 6/27. As this is the final "main line" Kuro/Butler project in the works, everyone take a small moment of silence.

[...]

However, I want to reassure that this is not the final project all together. This is simply the end of the era that was our beloved fan-audio series based on the series itself. In the future, 3DF hopes to bring you some more Kuro/Butler projects along the line of original works (i.e. stories like Stella), perhaps some of the manga arcs, etc. We're just putting to rest the line based directly off of the anime. While we've loved every minute, we want to do some more things that won't have direct comparison from the show.

Just to be reassuring, my upcoming story, Date Night (a small follow-up to Stella), is being considered. But we don't know just yet, as it hasn't even been finished. And on a recent trip to California, I purchased a Kuroshitsuji manga anthology with short stories and artwork by readers and fans in Japan. I currently have a friend of mine translating a short one for me, and the awesome Curt Rose has agreed to join myself in voicing this tiny tale. (Take that as a full-fledged hint to which characters are featured in the story.)

Now, following the release of "Ashes", we're planning on doing a special edition of the P3 (the Post-Production Podcast, 3DF's official behind-the-scenes chat with our VAs). This may be happening this week; we're looking at Thursday or Sunday (most likely the latter). We would LOVE to have some questions this time around for our voice-actors. We're still in deliberation on the who's and such, but please, if you have any questions at all, leave a comment down below or note them to me.

If you've never listened to any episodes of the P3, they can be downloaded via the links in the left hand sidebar. We currently have three episodes: Ep 1 centered on Will the Reaper, #2 featuring Jason Marnocha and Rina Adachi as a pre-"Ashes" release sit down chat, and #3 centered on Spider's Intention.


NOTE: Due to scheduling, Jason Marnocha (Sebastian, Drocell, Eric) will be unable to attend. If you have any questions for him, please send them to me, and I will message them along to be answered as soon as possible.

As one final note, I thought I'd share what's currently scheduled for 3DF in the days ahead:

1) SHANGRI-LA: The Palace of Water, based on the play by the Takarazuka Revue, will finally make its debut. This project has sadly taken far too long to put together due to casting issues, and was supposed to be the debut of Dylan Spencer and Samantha Ylagan. It will finally see the light of day very soon.

2) PHOENIX WRIGHT: Turnabout Goodbyes Part 3 is also long overdue. That will be following S-L, featuring Erik Copper u/s Phoenix Wright. Following that, Vick Valentine and Curt Rose will be taking over the roles of Phoenix and Larry.

3) That surprise manga story I told you about will creep up when least expected.

4) CLUE: An Audio Mystery was announced a while back as our newest "big" project in production. Based off of the 1980s film, which in turn was based on the famous board game (Cluedo in the UK), 3DF is going to take you on a wild and wacky murder mystery starring some of your fave VAs as everyone's favorite crazy suspects. Stay tuned.

And finally, I have some plans to decide on for Christmas this year. I still have an old project in mind that I may prepare in order for it to be ready by Christmas, which is always a busy time for our group.

Thus to conclude, "Ashes" tomorrow; P3 in the coming days, leave questions/feedback for the actors in a comment or message them to me privately.
