London Gazette Blows Lid Off Scientist Activities
This is how we’re concluding one aspect of the Clockwork Watch story, but… it continues through contributions from the participants, which will be incorporated into our narrative. If interested in contributing kindly contact us at “informer – at – clockworkwatch – dot – com”.
Clockwork Watch: Breakaway, our next graphic novel, starts 18 years after the arrival of Janav, Tinku and Chan from India.
Kindly peruse this special edition of the London Gazette, and keep an eye on Advancement of Sciences…
The Evidence:
Clockwork Watch in “Creating Indie Transmedia Projects” Panel at SXSW
SXSW panel picker is LIVE. Ian Ginn & Yomi Ayeni are hosting a panel called “Creating Indie Transmedia Projects.”
It’s a chance to explain the motivation behind creating a concept from an Indie perspective. We do it without funding, brand partnerships, or any financial assistance. We are solely motivated by telling participatory and engaging stories, and connecting with our audience.
Please vote for us, this will be an insight into why we do what we do, and how we do it.

Latitude – The Film!!!
We’d like to thank all the people that took part in our Latitude immersive event. The show was produced by Louisa Norman, Holly Seager handled design, Kady Howey Nunn assisted with props / design, Sam Howey Nunn managed affairs and Firecat Masquerade provided props and direction.
A big thank you to our actors: Alex Barclay, Alyn Gwyndaf, Georgina Panton, Sohm Kapila, Paul Giffney, Yomi Ayeni and Mark Oosterveen – you rocked.
Also a huge amount of gratitude to The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing – Andy, Andrew and Thea, and the amazing Dr Geof!
The event / opportunity was made possible by vision of Tania Harrison and her team at Festival Republic.
Here’s what happened…

Are You Ready? Camera, Lights, Action!!!
Many parts of the Clockwork Watch story will be played out in the real world, as part of an immersive live-event ethos. We believe this approach encourages ‘play’ and opens the narrative to participants who want to become involved in our storyworld.
The objective is for people to share their personal experiences, in other words tell our story. Each contribution has the potential to shape the narrative, by making creative adjustments to the project.
Our second foray into this territory comes in the form of “industrial action‘ or a strike, called by the Union for the Casual Labourer – a group representing people working on the Clockwork Project at the Department for the Advancement of Sciences. Many workers believe jobs will be at risk if the automatons they’re developing become active.
The Casual Labourer Strike is a ‘working class’ day of action, where anyone following this story can participate by going on strike. We would like everyone interested in storytelling, Steampunk, Victoriana or just role-playing to join us on July 14th 2012. You do not have to be a trade unionist to strike, in fact we hope people choose other factions, even oppose the day of action.
Create a placard stating your grievance, don your working class finery, take a photograph or video, write a story and share it on your social stream – Twitter, Facebook, blog or send it to us at (informer – @ – clockworkwatch-dot- com).
The strike is a major development in the Clockwork Watch story, and we need your help in making it happen. We hope to rally a global show of strength, some of us will picket the Advancement of Sciences Roadshow on July 14th / 15th, but kindly join us in spirit, where ever you are!
Kindly post details of your intent on our Facebook Event page, and you can follow the story live on our tweeter stream @ClockworkWatch. Read all about it in our online paper The London Gazette.
Don’t forget this is all about PLAY, and we hope you enjoy the experience.
Brothers, Sisters, drop your tools, we’re going on strike – OUT!

First review of Clockwork Watch: “The Arrival” via Geek Syndicate
We’re happy to announce the first review of Clockwork Watch: The Arrival, by our friends at Geek Syndicate.
“Jennie’s art is classical in nature, elegant in execution and she shows a fabulous eye for colours and how to use them to add depth and emotion to every panel she draws. The other nice touch was the use of real locations including Crystal Palace and some small history lessons thrown in as well. I am new to the whole steampunk culture but really liked this story and I would recommend it to anyone looking to test the waters with the whole genre.”
It’s always humbling to read stuff like this, especially our first issue.
Thank you!!!
