Ok guys here it is. Just to give you guys a general idea.

I'm looking/ planning to do a local fanfilm, but not your regular run-of-the-mill, home video fanfilm. I'm talking more in terms of a as close to professionally done as possible, with all the special effects (esp. the lightsaber, MAYBE even as far as doing blue screen shoots) with a good story and everything. The works basically.

Being a film student personally, I guess you could say this is what I do (or rather will do in the future). I'm looking for this to be included in my portfolio that I'll (of course) be sending to Lucasfilms. So I guess it will be of some standard. I am also looking for it to be submitted to fanforce fanfilm sections and the likes.

I am actually looking for people who are interested to go on this exciting advanture with me in multiple different capacities, from talents to writers to effects people. Basically a production cast and crew, small as it may be.

Please do not get too excited about it yet, as this will definately take time, a lot of time. "I said patience" Also as this is sort of a extra circulum I doubt anyone of us, especially those of us who are working, can commit more than our spare time to it. Hence slowing down the process even more. Also as it is more or less an independent not to mention somewhat illegal (due to licensing issues) project, it'll be hard to secure funding and maybe even permission to shoot in certain locations. Hence it will be pretty much out of pocket finance.

However, if we pull this off, I'm sure we will have loads of fun doing it and plus the pride and joy of being the first fanfilm to be submitted to fanfilm sites should rock too.

Where I'm at right now is just the Genesis/ R&D stage of it all. I haven't even got a story arc going. I'm basically trying out to see if it can actually be done, with major emphasis on the effects, before moving on.

This post should have been posted much later, but ever since I started talking to a few of you about my idea, it seems to have gained momentum on the forum. So what the hay.

So, anyone interested in VOLUNTEERING for this tough, but exciting adventure? Espically people who are doing such stuff for a living. That would even be better, although I welcome any help I can get.

I want to be writer. grin

Even after I go overseas, I can still provide scripts so I think that's the best avenue for me. Not to mention I like writing too.

happy

Writer, logistics, you name it. As can be attested elsewhere, I'm rather good at lame dialogue. Hey, that's a prerequisite for any Star Wars project! happy

I'd like to help! I do editing but I don't think 16-year-old standard is quite what you're looking for...

Martinlightsaber>> trust me any help is appreciated. In a way it's a win win, you get to see how's it really (hopefully) done and we get help with the project. =)

Faiz>> yes! would really appreciate someone choreo-ing the fight, that's one of the problems i foresee. Would be boring if it's Epi 4 standard swordplay no?

hmmm the response seems really healthy. Puts a smile on me face knowing that. =) Will post more details next week. Sorry this week will be pretty hectic. Need to meet a tons of datelines for this friday.
But anyone interested don't stop posting. =) I'll be reading the post but most probably won't be posting much as really short on time. =)

Xeno and Jazz, yes i would love to see the scripts. Slowly moving into the next phase already. Which happens to be the story generation.

Anyone else interested to write the script? Writers out there? Do let me know yeah? =)

Cheers

oh and Xeno, don't worry, you're already one of the Jedis I have in mind. Together with Yazid if he's interested. You guys go nuts on the FXs man. heh

I would love to be part of the cast but I'll be in New York for (at least) the next five years.

However, I am well-versed in Adobe Premiere and would gladly help with editing.

Hi all. Can count me in too. Would like to learn how you guys do the SFX (using After Effects?). I've done some basic editing work on Premiere. I'll help out in anything else you need.

oh btw DarthCrovus, yes that was me with the Pro Camera, but using an Un-Pro built-in flash. grin

Most of the SFX has to be rotoscoped isn't it? (not counting stuff like bluescreen and greenscreen)
