bfh Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Don't know if you've heard of this or you would be interested, but I thought I'd post it, just in case you haven't seen or heard about it. Star Wars Uncut won a 2010 Emmy for interactive media. <a href ="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/28/arts/television/28uncut.html">From the New York Times</a> Hundreds of Internet users remade “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film last year, 15 seconds at a time. This month they all played a part in Emmy history. <a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/01/25/star_wars_like_youve_never_seen_it_before">Salon Article</a> <a href="http://youtu.be/7ezeYJUz-84"> Star Wars Uncut: Directors Cut</a> on youtube (this is the full two hour movie).

WordWolf Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks-this is the first I'd heard of it. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I will watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfh Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 It's disconcerting at first due to the 15 second clips, but since the story line is so well know, one adjusts to it quite quickly. Furthermore, since I am familiar with the story line, I bookmarked it and watched it in 15 - 20 minute intervals without losing the plot or character development. It's fascinating to see what people came up with: kids using Mom's afghan off the couch for Darth Vader's cape and cardboard for R2D2's costume; hand puppets; kids roping parents into participating or parents roping kids into participating, ages of people ranging from young to old; homages to other iconic movies; and stunning cartoon animation. Some of it's funny, some is ultra low budget filming in the garage or house, some of it's cheesy, but most of all, I think it's just fun and off-the-charts creative. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
