Commander Zero had a picture of Lou Gossett Jr, from His role of Gunnery Sergeant, as his instructor, Love It, keep up the awesome work 👍👍

[@g4obb]

This is just wonderful....a new twist on an old series..I love it.......Y'know this could be brought up and aired by TV companies....I'm sure it would go down really well....thanks again guys, this must take so much work to get right......

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you so much for watching and your positive comment. Yes, it takes a lot of time and effort but it is also a labor of love. Who knows maybe someday in the future I might get studio or network funding. Working hard on Part 2 and hope to have a June release. Thanks again for your very kind words; believe me it helps.

[@viennapalace]

I can die a happy man now I've seen Venus in a bikini! Thanks for all your efforts. P's. Have you noticed the way the holographic picture of the Earth in the main control room is backwards/reversed? I think I've mentioned it once before (I had an account deleted by KZbin a couple of years ago). Don't change it, it's pretty darn cool!

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

The backwards Earth rotation in Space City control room has been changed from episode Space Monster on. Someone (perhaps you) did mention it. That was a great pickup as I had let it go for seven episodes. The Devil is in the details. Thanks again for watching!

I really love your Fireball XL5 animated remakes! I only got back to binge-watching Fireball XL5 again after a few years. I love creative you are with animating these episodes, they have a lot more depth and are an excellent nod to the original series. I’m glad to see someone with so much creativity as yourself giving these classic episodes a modern flare.😉

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you so much for watching and the glowing praise. Very much appreciated. Creating the remakes are a labor of love. I strive to improve each episode. Give "Spy in Space" a look if you haven't already. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYfMq6tjbr6imbc It's my first attempt at a complete episode. Up next will be "Space Monster" with a tentative November 2020 release.

[@robertmurray0302]

Don Knotts as the Reluctant Astronaut , Buzz Lightyear, the other astronaut unknown to me😂😂

[@robertf3479]

Venus in a bikini was an unexpected and pleasant surprise, giving depth to a character I've only seen in uniform. 'Robert' dancing! Ninety's quip about "not thinking about tomorrow" while ogling Venus ... quite understandable. Loved XL5 as a kid growing up and remember the original episode from back then. I've watched some of your later episodes, your productions have definitely improved.

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you so much for watching and the nice comment. Very much appreciated. It's nice to hear the productions have been improving. Look for my latest release PRISONER ON THE LOST PLANET soon to be released in March 2022. That episode will feature a new Venus, Matt Matic & redesigned Robert.

[@robertf3479]

@@HarborsidePressLLC Looking forward to it.

Very enjoyable, and the faces.....WOO HOO.👍 someone has been busy...luv the little extras in it as well...from it looks like An officer and gentleman to toy story...🐈Ty for sharing.....wonderful work.👏👏👏👏👏

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you so much for watching and the positive comment. And thank you for the suggestion of softening their features from the first episode. I'm glad you picked up on my little extras; it's what makes the video fun for me to do. Again thanks for all your support.

Nice work again. The character models are looking much better. :-)

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you so much for watching and the positive comment. It is very much appreciated.

[@DreddJudgeJoe]

LOVE IT....however, one little error that shows up in almost every flying movie. Two control columns does not mean 2 people steering !!!!! I have been a pilot for 52 years on fighters, bombers and transports so I know what I’m talking about. The Air France Airbus crashed in the South Atlantic because 2 pilots were trying to control the aircraft at the same time. “ I HAVE CONTROL !”

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thanks for watching and the positive feedback. Also thank you for the insight on the control columns. What you said makes sense. I guess in most movies/shows the idea is to present the pilot and copilot doing the same thing. Be sure to watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYfMq6tjbr6imbc SPY IN SPACE kzbin.info/www/bejne/pprHgouNYtV8oac SPACE MONSTER and kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqPGlIuebtOqoJI LAST OF THE ZANADUS. I hope you enjoy them.

Lovin' me some XL5. Great work Walt. Love this series.

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

A positive comment from you means so much to me; I can't thank you enough for the wonderful support. As a fellow iClone user, you understand the time and effort put into these productions. Thanks again for watching.

[@peterblood50]

I certainly do Walt, but it's all worth it when you see the vision that's in your mind come together.

[@savagegardenfan9680]

I wonder if you could do Stingray Episodes in this style?

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you for watching and posting a comment. I hope you liked the remake. I could do Stingray but part of my motivation for doing XL5 was the show was in black & white. I'm about halfway through XL5. If you're interested, watch SABOTAGE kzbin.info/www/bejne/apnUiq2ObpWWjdk & TRIAL BY ROBOT kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6aWmauCl9dmj7M The characters and animation are much improved. Thanks again for watching.

[@DreddJudgeJoe]

Thank you Harbourside for your reply. I am lovingly watching ALL OF YOUR EPISODES ! I used to get called “SPACEMAN” at school because of my love for Firbeall XL5. Yes, I think they put it in old films because: 1. They didn’t have a clue about what pilots did (like the aviation correspondants for some newspapers). 2. They didn’t want the other pilot to look as if he was doing nothing. Hahahahha. Just been watching “Commander Cody, Space Marshal of the Universe and when the 2 were operating the spaceship at least you could see they were doing different things. Trust there will be more episodes. Good luck, I hope you will be taken up commercially. Dan Dare from the original strips would be excellent. The TV series was good but went too far against the science !

[@TryptychUK]

Nice work. Just a couple of points: XL5 never had wheels, it used a rocket sled to launch. and try to get some smoothing on that geometry!

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you for watching and the positive comment. I tried to capture the spirit of the original show but allowed myself some creative license. I felt a future Earth Space Force should be more mobile. That was my rational for the change from railroad car rockets to landing gear and runway takeoff.

[@billvinson7859]

@@HarborsidePressLLC The wheels are a great upgrade.

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

@@billvinson7859 Thanks Bill for the compliment.

[@kitthearty]

I see Venus has had a few extra nights sleep since the last episode. And a good thing too. I hope she's managed to control her intake of whatever substance she is hooked on. She has great potential.

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you for watching and commenting. I guess you can say Venus is "strung out" because of her marionette past.

[@d.cummer2652]

Maybe someone's answered this allready, but is the guy voicing the Lt. the same one who did Brains in Thunderbirds? I didn't think to check Google. (Slap to the forehead) It is the same person.

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

David Graham did the voices for Matic, Ninety, Zoonie & other (guest) voices for Fireball. And he was the voice of Brains in Thunderbirds. Thank you for watching.

I love your videos, but Venus looks like she had a hard night.😅

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm glad you liked it. I agree Venus is a bit rough looking. My original concept was to have the characters look like marionettes but bad lighting made them overall look very frightening. The characters & animation all improve in the following episodes.

@@HarborsidePressLLC Not to worry. Thanks for posting this. I watched the OG XL5 when I was in grade school. Those were heady days. America was on top of the world. John Glenn was the hero of the hour and the USA was on it's way to the Moon. This brings back memories.

[@burgersoft777]

Venus looks just a tad like a panda, but don't take that too hard.

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Venus has been referred to as a crack whore, zombie and the devil doll, Annabelle, so panda is actually quite nice. In Episode 3 "The Granatoid Tanks" Venus is replaced by a new softer (prettier) avatar. Thank you for watching and commenting and I hope you like Episode 3.

XL5 uses a rail system for all launches. F.Y.I.

[@HarborsidePressLLC]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I used creative license to change the rail system launch because I felt a space defense force needed to be more mobile and takeoff on a moments notice.
