Obviously, I'm not getting paid to do it or anything... but it's (if everything goes the way I foresee it) going to be my greatest gift.



It's a fan film. Shut up, shut up. I know how fan films lack originality, but so do Tarantino movies and people still buy that skeet.

It's not going to be based around fighting like the standard Star Wars film is. Oh, no! It's essentially my first jaunt into a murder mystery flick. We will have light sabers, but we realize what a pain in the *** it is to rotoscoope. We've all tried to do it at some time or another.


So this is how we thought about it.

Adam (Me): We need a new movie.
Sam: Your right...!
Adam: How about a... I don't know. Docu-drama?
Sam: No. Musical?
Chad: I'd like that. <---7 years musical theatre by the by)
Adam: Jedi! (I had recently watched Empire on the CBC, then on DVD again... NERD!).
Chad: That's good too.



Then I had to think...
How the hell would we make sets? We don't get paid enough. It would take to long. We'd become bored with the project and get hooked on cocaine... well, that's the norm, isn't it?

Well... We live in Camrose. What do we have here. Forests... and... SPORT MART! That's stupid. We'll have to film in the forest.
Okay, okay... then what? Well, Wookies and Ewoks live in forests.
Touche'.
Wait!
We just admitted we can't afford sets, how the hell are we gonna' get costumes for either species!?
Well... they're dead.
Which one?
Wookies. It makes more sense. Ewoks are primitive. If they were all dead, how would anyone know other than a "disturbance in the force"?
Yeah... the Wookies might have had some way to radio for help... hypothetically.
I get cha'.
Well, the Jedi recieve an anonomys message saying that a Wookie... town? Yeah. Town was wiped out.
Jedi have to investigate whom did this... massacare.



Okay... what's ja' all think?


Also, we're thinking of scerwing Camrose... and going to Hinton Alberta. Anyone familar with that area knows it would make an excellent double for Kysaak. Ignore my spelling, please. You probably know what I'm getting at and trying to spell.
We're also PROBABLY going to rent a camera to do this.

Sounds like an interesting project. Have fun!

Someone had to say it.

May the force be with you.

I'm sorry. I really am sorry.

I suppose if it was reallly well done it might ok but if you hope to do anything except show it to a few friends id rethink your idea. It will basicily be 2 15 year olds with light sabers running around the forest trying to find out who killed the wookies? Why not do a film noir type murder mystery and use your house, friends houses, etc. All you need is some decent lighting, a good murder and a hot le fem fatal.

I wish they were 15, rather than 19-25. They'd just have more years to live before they'd turn 60.

Thank you though, for just presumeing were at an age where touching a boobie was our number one goal in life...

...actually, I suppose it still is.


My point my friend is, just don't presume we're pre-teens.


EDIT: Sorry... I mean, if it sounded like I was lashing out. I almost was... but whatever.

A Star Wars fan film? As if that wasn't bad enough, you're planning to do pretty much everything should never be done in those kind of projects!

- set in a forest because you're too cheap to make sets
- involving Ewoks
- both characters are Jedi

Please do something more interesting/original. If you want to do a Star Wars fan film (a subgenre of which I am convinced nothing good will ever be made), pick something more original. Like the previous poster pointed out, it's going to be a bunch of (19-25) year olds running around in the forest with sticks.

Are you planning on ripping the actual music from the films to give it more of that "Star Wars flavor"?
