Hi all!

Just thought I would let you know that my 30 minute fanfilm documentary is now online at You Tube. Following on from making The Emperor's New Clones, I was able to enrol on a Masters in Media Production; this documentary was my 3rd project for that course.

"Fanfilms - What are they all about?" is a look at why people make fanfilms, who does it and why the media has more recently shown an increasing interest. It features interviews with Media professionals and academics as well as a look into the making of a fanfilm (TENCLO of course!). The film is on occasion, slightly self induglgent so please forgive me for that one!

I welcome all comments good and bad!

Anyways, enjoy!!

Nice. Good stuff, man. I thought at the beginning that the the film was going to be more about fan films in general rather than specifically about TENCLO, but I don't think that really detracted from the final product at all.

Pretty nostalgic, and this is coming from someone with absolutely no affiliation with your films. :P

Do you ever plan on making a sequel to TENCLO, making it a trilogy?

I haven't finished watching the film yet, but I had to point this out:

I love how even as you're talking about fan filmmaking, you're subtly mimicking the style of other existing media -- the PBS-style documentary, complete with archive footage, a reserved British narrator standing in a field talking about stuff while slightly mournful/nostalgic music plays, an editor sitting at his complicated-looking console with monitors playing footage, interviews in academic offices and against funny-looking backdrops... ha!



Rick McCallum loves you!

Yeah, you're right, even when we are supposed to be serious, we just can't stop taking the mick!

UPDATE - The doc is now embedded on our shiny new website. Apart from the Doc, there are a host of new galleries and bits for you to see from the Backyard gang!

Enjoy!

Good to see that your website is back up--it went down yesterday while I was writing up my review of your documentary on Fan Cinema Today.

We are currently moving the site to a cheaper webspace provider.

Backyard Productions has undergone a MAJOR facelift and with a lot of excting projects in the pipeline, we want the new site to be more stable and affordable!

Hopefully it should all be sorted now!

I shall have a look at your website now!
