No infringement intended.

Time once again for another Millennium music video courtesy of our video guru Josef. This week is something of an additional treat, as Josef has turned to fellow musician and friend Cindi to provide the music for this weeks montage. BackToFrankBlack is particularly proud to support talented individuals such as Cindi and we are indebted to her for allowing Josef to use her wonderful composition in this weeks video.
This week, Josef has turned his attention to the season three episode, Skull and Bones, that dark foray into executions Millennium Group style. There are so many notable things about this episode it's hard to know where to start but the fate of Cheryl Andrewsand Peter Watts' horrifying confrontation of Emma Hollis in the charnel house must rank high on the list. Coupled with a stellar performance from Ayre Gross and you have an episode that's as controversial as it is good. So, sit back, enjoy the show and let us know what you think of the episode, the music and the video...
So don't be shy. Let Josef know what you think of his latest creation and tell us what you think about the episode. We want to know your thoughts so please do leave us a few comments as we really enjoy hearing from all you good people.
As promised, each music new release from Josef will be accompanied by a postcard that we urge you to send to Steve Asbell at 20th Century Fox. Making 20th Century Fox aware that we are here to stay and active in our support of a Millennium Movie is a vital way you can help this campaign achieve its ends. We are regularly asked what is the best way to help this campaign and there is no finer way than sending this postcard. The only way we can bring this show back is to make some noise and continue making that noise. That's how we will bring Frank Black back.

Time, once again, for W*****Wednesday™ (well we have to take a break from MusicMonday™ every now and again) and our jaunt into the world of Millennium Music Montages. Josef has forgone sleep (and you think I'm joking) to beaver away, Avatar-style, to bring you his latest multimedia release and we are truly grateful to him.
Josef takes the time to make these videos because he feels as passionately as we do about bringing Millennium back and anyone who frequents Youtube will know how much support and interest he is enjoying because of it and how many people have discovered us through his work. 'Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense' - where do you start? Darin Morgan is without a doubt a genius. His contributions to Millennium and our sister franchise, the X-Files are rightly heralded as some of the finest outings of both franchises and who are we to argue the masses? Take Darin Morgan, add a pinch of Josef's ingenuity and the following is the result. Grab your popcorn, plug in your Onan-O-Graphs and enjoy the proceedings. Remember: Don't be Dark!
As always, we thank our resident video alchemist Josef for taking this campaign and continuing to plug it in the vast abyss that is Youtube and we hope you will feel in some way inspired to follow in his footsteps and donate a little video magic of your own.
Now Josef's is a good chap and he relishes the opportunity to hear what you guys think about his work so don't be shy - post away. He regularly spends time hooked up to his own Onan-O-Graph so I can assure you he is very upbeat and not a Nostradamus Nutball at all! As promised, each music new release from Josef will be accompanied by a postcard that we urge you to send to Steve Asbell at 20th Century Fox. Making 20th Century Fox aware that we are here to stay and active in our support of a Millennium Movie is a vital way you can help this campaign achieve its ends. With am eager cast and crew and the financial support for a film currently being discussed they are the only fly in the soup with regards making this happen. Do not let up the fight. Stand loud and proud and send one more postcard.

Time, once again, for MusicMonday™ and our foray into the world of Millennium Musical Montages and what's more it heralds the beginning of a week devoted to the magic that is Season Two's Luminary.
Luminary continually ranks as one of the most appreciated and enjoyed episodes of the whole three seasons, due in no small part to the superb script of writer Chip Johannessen. It didn't come as much of a surprise to me that this episode blew away the competition when it came to you guys selecting the next subject of our themed week of events.
So it's time for the popcorn and soda as we settle back for another of Josef's fine video creations and despite my constant assertions, he just gets better and better with each passing week. An episode as philosophical and beautiful as Luminary deserves a montage treatment every bit as precious and it has certainly gotten just that. Enjoy folks and try not to think of the word 'mesmerizing' as you watch this, it's impossible, I tell you.
As always, we thank our resident video alchemist Josef for taking this campaign and continuing to plug it in the vast abyss that is Youtube. especially in light of the fact that Marburg has infected his usual editing software and the poor chap has had seven and one years of trials and tribulations trying to get it together. I hope he realises how much everyone appreciates his hard work.
So please keep your eyes on the Blog for a week of 'this and that' all in honour of your favourite, and mine, Luminary. With a Luminary panel podcast, interview with Chip Johannessen and an exclusive competition and more besides there is certainly much to enjoy this week. On with the show!

Making 20th Century Fox aware that we are here to stay and active in our support of a Millennium Movie. Let's be as inspired as Alex was during this episode and follow our dreams, against the odds, despite the hardships and bring Frank Black back to the screen where he belongs. I know you guys won't let us down.

Time, once again, for MusicMonday™ and our foray into the world of Millennium Music Montages. After celebrating the likes of Lucy Butler, Lara Means andCatherine Black, there really is only one woman left in Frank's life to turn our attention to and Josef has done just that with his latest video (I can think of one fan of this character in particular who is sure to get a kick out of this.) So without further ado, it's time to leave the popcorn in the cupboard this week and instead grab yourself a packet of origami paper to fiddle with as you watch. All will become clear!
As always, we thank our resident video alchemist Josef for taking this campaign and continuing to plug it in the vast abyss that is Youtube and we hope you will feel in some way inspired to follow in his footsteps and donate a little video magic of your own.
Don't forget to leave your gushing praise, and we expect nothing less, for Josef in the comments section and as our first year of existence softly leaves us, Josef has prepared a little something to commemorate our anniversary - more on that later in the week. Who knows, maybe all his hard work will inspire you to do something similar. Mark x

Yup, it's MusicMonday™ once more and it's the MusicMonday™ I have been waiting for for an age. It's Lara Means time and there's no need tell you how much that character means to me. Josef has come up trumps again, so much so that this little gem has been on constant repeat on my iPod in a style very reminiscent of Lucy Butler's music playing habits. So without further ado it's time to grab the popcorn and soda and run for the back row. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Lara Means!
As always, we thank our resident video alchemist Josef for taking this campaign and continuing to plug it in the vast abyss that isYoutubeand we hope you will feel in some way inspired to follow in his footsteps and donate a little video magic of your own.
Don't forget to leave a comment or two for Josef, he really appreciates all the feedback he receives for his sterling work and keep your eyes peeled (ouch) for next weeks video it will certainly please one particular individual I can think of! Mark x

Well time flies when you're having fun and once again we arrive at Music Monday™, that moment when our video-meister Josef unleashes his latest cinematic offering on the unsuspecting masses and this time it comes endorsed by the star of the show, Van Quattro, as I was able to give him a pre-release screening, if you will. Josef has done some stunning, and quite tireless, work for us of late and it is always a joy when his latest release drops into my inbox. Without further ado, everyone head for the back row with your popcorn and let the show commence (extra kudos to these keen eared souls amongst you who can name the famous film the music from this clip features quite prominently in.)
Contributing something to our Youtube profile is an undeniable way of promoting the campaign, generating interest in us and keeping our troops entertained in the process. Now I know people don't always have the time to commit in the way that Josef has, but a simple recording of yourself calling for a return of Frank Black is a wonderful way to support this campaign and I would be eternally grateful for any donations of that kind.
So before you head off to mail another batch of postcards to 20th Century Fox (your mission for the day) leave us a comment or two, show your appreciation for the hard work Josef does for this campaign and tell us what you think of his work. He keeps track of all the comments he receives and responds to any questions so don't be shy, make a new friend.And whilst we are on the subjects of postcards, the response to those published earlier has been very enthusiastic so it is my intention to produce a card for every episode that Josef captures in video.

Allow me to introduce you all to a week of devilry and debauchery (maybe not so much of the latter) in honour of Frank Black's most memorable nemesis, the Devil's liege herself, Lucy Butler. I am a huge admirer of that character and of the outstanding work that Sarah-Jane Redmond contributed to our beloved show and it is an honour to be spending a week in her nefarious company (Lucy that is, not Sarah-Jane of course.)
In time honoured tradition we kick off our week of themed Blog entries with the music video we know you have all been waiting for. Josef has crossed the abyss and braved the foul stench of Hades itself in order to assemble this infernal cinematic offering. Grab the Apple Spiced Pancakes folks, it's time for Lucy Butler!
Now I know I say this every week, and mean it, but this is undoubtedly Josef's finest work to date and I do hope you waited right to the end of the credits? You didn't? Time to view it again methinks. So here's hoping you will share you comments with Josef as always, every new video he makes brings a potential new Millennium fan to our attention so we value, highly, his contribution.If he doesn't deserve kudos for one of the most mesmerising video intros I have ever seen then I don't know who does frankly.
So, here's looking forward to a week of fun, competitions, an exclusive interview and more besides. Till then, well, love is blue isn't it?

Well Music Monday™ has finally made its appearance as Tuneful Thursday™ (myself and Josef were actually hoping for Wednesday but we can't reveal the mooted name of that day, it's far too rude) and we know a number of you have been eagerly awaiting this. Today's cinematic outing is proudly dedicated to M.R. Sellars in honour of his endearing Catherine Black appreciation and after a week of ribbing him that this would be something of a tear jerker, it will finally get to see it isn't as maudlin as I have made it sound.
As always, we thank our resident video alchemist Josef for taking this campaign and continuing to plug it in the vast abyss that isYoutubeand we hope you will feel in some way inspired to follow in his footsteps and donate a little video magic of your own. Remember this, reading an interview will not get this movie made, nor will listening to a podcast or watching one of Josef's superb creations. Lending your voice to ours, publicly, is what is needed. Write those letters, record those videos, send in those polaroids and lets bring this one home.
Dont forget to leave a comment or two for Josef, he really appreciates all the feedback he receives for his sterling work and keep your eyes peeled (ouch) for next weeks video it will blow you away! Mark x

Another 'Music Monday' and another cinematic slice of Millennium goodness from our resident 'Music Meister' Josef. Josef is single-handedly championing this campaign at Youtube by filling our profile with the fantastic music montages he makes in an effort to spread the word and bring the campaign to the attention of new fans. In this weeks 'Avatar Vision' Josef takes on 'The Wild and The Innocent' and you can enjoy the resulting magic below!
And it's also a rather special edition of 'Avatar Vision' as today is Josef's Birthday and he turns a princely twenty six years of age. I am sure you will join with me in wishing Josef a very Happy Birthday and thank him in the process for being such a sterling campaigner and friend. If we had a hundred like him Millennium would have been on the screen a long time ago.
If you would like to join Josef it creating a few treats for our Youtube profile please do. Simply recording yourself talking about your Millennium appreciation is really all that is needed. Remember, Frank Black needs you!
Ah, it's that time again, the moment of the week when we unveil another cinematic masterpiece form our apocalyptic videography courtesy of our resident movie alchemist, Josef Gunnarrson. Being the creative soul that I like to think I am, I dusted down Adobe Premiere, plonked myself firmly in the director's chair and had a tinker or two at making a video of my own, let's just the say the results were not pretty which is why Josef's work continues to impress me no end.
If you'd like to contribute a little something to the campaign, how about filming an impassioned plea for Frank's return? Our friends in the X-Files universe collected a number of similar videos and 20th Century Fox were very impressed with the effort that had gone in to them. It's your voice that will bring Frank Black back to the screen, certainly not mine, so we need you to join Frank's army. So till then, dim the lights, draw the cutains, order the pizza and watch another instalment of avatar vision explode, quite literally, from the screen.

It's time once again for another helping of televisual goodness from my friend and yours, Josef who has been busy cutting and mixing another episode of Millennium to create yet another stunning montage video. We have to give credit to him because with each new video release comes another Youtube friend, email or subscription from a Millennium fan who wasn't aware of our campaign. Today's treat? A rather dark little montage taken from the episode, "Dead Letters."
Now I know there are people out there wanting to support the campaign but don't have Josef's talents (like myself for example) wondering of ways to help support us, well wonder no more. Get those typing fingers into gear and send an email to info@backtofrankblack.com and tell us all about yourself, your love of the show and we will get back to you with ways you can help the campaign. We are always eager to hear from fans and will reply to each and every one of you as soon as we are able.
So grab that popcorn and settle down for another instalment of Avatar Vision. Don't forget, let Josef know what you think of his efforts in our comments section.
Time for our weekly jaunt to Cinema Apocalypto for yet another visual feast courtesy of Josef, the campaign's very own Scorsese (or should that be Carter?), Josef has created another storming video montage using selected clips from the episode "Gehenna" and music from Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched. I am sure you will agree the results are awesome as Josef edges ever nearer to his goal of one montage for every episode of the show.
Now there you are, watching the video and wondering why these are so important to us? Youtube is an undeniably powerful way to promote yourself and entertain others in the process. A few minutes, a fun video and one more Millennium fan could very well find out about this campaign who didn't know of it before and this is exactly what is happening since Josef came on board with this fantastic project.
Let's face it, we aren't preaching to the converted, we need as many people as we can muster and that's where you come in. Videos, photographs, letters and emails are important ways of demonstrating the love that exists for Millennium and providing us with the bits and bobs we can use to get the word out there.
So grab that popcorn and settle down for another instalment of Avatar Vision. Don't forget, let Josef know what you think of his efforts in our comments section.
In our continuing efforts to entertain and, of course, campaign we have encouraged our supporters to get creative and send us their campaign videos. We have now begun to build you Youtube page and whilst this may not seem important allow me to point out why we believe it is. Thousands of individuals search Youtube daily and amongst those thousands there will no doubt be fans of Millennium and Lance Henriksen. Every video we upload increases the chances of one of those fans finding us and without the fans, well, we don't have a campaign at all.
We are delighted to be able to add the following Millennium music montage to our Youtube page created by ardent fan and Lance Henriksen admirer, Yatanis. Music montages are extremely popular things in fandom and will no doubt be sought out by fans browsing Youtube, a video such as this could make all the difference to the size of our audience. Don't hesitate to send us your own efforts, montages, compaign videos and more besides. Frank Black needs you!

The material featured in this video is in no way meant to infringe on any copyrights, but is meant as a dedication to the work or works that are featured in the film or based on. This video is a non-profit work and should remain as such.
As you will no doubt be aware, we have recently called for fans of Frank Black to get busy with their cameras and record a campaign video calling for the return of our beloved profiler. We have been delighted with the results but just to show that we too are are willing to put our money where our mouths are, campaign staff member, Troy Foreman has unveiled his own efforts toward this end. Not content with dominating audio, Troy shows he is an equally talented video maker as well!
Why not join him, and others, in creating something simple that we can use to get the word out there. It need not be flashy, no special effects required, a simple, impassioned plea for the return of Frank Black is just what we need to demonstrate the undeniable support that the character and the franchise still retains.
So don those thinking caps, fire up those cameras and see if there's a budding Spielberg in you just dying to get all out, all in the name of the mighty, FRANK BLACK!
A few days ago we proudly unveiled a campaign video for Josef, one of our friends and supporters and the response from you good people was overwhelmingly positive. I am sure you will agree with me that in his latest creation he has simply outdone himself. Green screen technique, subliminal imagery and few choice visuals worthy of Frank's most disturbing of visions and the result is a fantastic way of supporting this campaign and demonstrating your belief in the power of Frank Black.
Now we know that not everyone has the skills to make something this creative, I'm not convinced I could even begin to try, but do not let that put you off. Taking the time to record yourself chatting about your love of Millennium or a few minutes to make a plea for letters to be sent are powerful ways of connecting with our supporters, finding friends in the process and making an invaluable contribution to the ongoing efforts of this campaign.
If you have a webcam, a digital camera or any other means of recording a video please consider having a go yourself, we will do everything we can to spread your efforts as far and wide as we can. We are also working with the cast of Millennium on some exclusive videos of their own.
Join the trail, support the campaign and you could be the focus of the very next episode of Avatar Vision!
We have been incredibly lucky as a campaign to have had the chance to chat to some of you fine folk and make your acquaintance along the way as we merrily call for the return of Frank Black. Josef has been a solid friend to this campaign, sharing his thoughts, his photographs and healthy doses of his humour which have kept we busy people sane on occasion, don't be dark indeed!
We recently spotlighted his efforts on behalf in sending a Polaroid to the powers that be and he has gone further in videoing a call to arms in the hope that you good people will follow his lead. We hope this inspires you to do the same and remember, we relish every opportunity to chat to you all, send us your emails, photographs and videos and display, in as loud a voice a possible, that the fans are here, we are unified in their goal and we are not going away. This is who we are!
If you enjoyed Josef's work, let us know by way of comment and please, please, please consider doing something similar. We have uploaded this video to a number of video hosting sites and are more than happy to throw our considerable weight by your efforts, helping you with whatever you need in the process.
As well as being a campaigner par excellence, Josef is an electropop wizard, creating his own stellar compositions which he has garnered considerable praise for, in fact, the Millennial Drums and the musical track accompanying this video are his own creations. To check out his music and a little more about the man himself, visit hisMyspace profile and add him as a friend. If you scratch our back we'll scratch yours, that's what being a Millennium Fan is all about!
