ALL NEW! Star Wars Gangsta Rap: Chronicles

I think the Leia and Jabba parts are my favorites.  I am not sure this is as good as the original Star Wars Gangsta Rap, but it is funny.

Here is a curious little crowdsourced project from Sony Pictures which got my interest upon learning that Steve Vai is in it.

The animated short is called Live Music, watch the teaser above.  Sony used facebook to network 51 animators around the globe to put this project together.  It’s an interesting model that fans have been doing for a while.

The disturbing part is unlike the fan projects Sony Pictures budgeted one million dollars for this project!  One of the advantages of using a crowdsourced project is it’s ability to keep costs down and to recruit people who have passion for the project to the project.  One million dollars is a staggering amount of money.  What did they spend it on?

They paid each animator $500 for their part which is cool but that is $25,500.  There are editing, distribution, and advertising costs but where did the rest of the money go?

Thanks to John The Rogue Demon Hunter from the community at Project: Shadow.  This amazing fan video uses 7 Days to the Wolves by Nightwish as the soundtrack and footage from the three Underworld movies.

I love how the entire video is like a meta contemplation by Selene about the days to come in the war with the Lycans and the causes behind the conflict that started the war in the first place.

The opening was nice.  I particularly liked the use of the text “Underworld” to help give context for those not familiar with the movies.

I really enjoyed that he features the love story that underpins the conflict both in the past and what fuels the present conflict.

Featuring Vincent is also a nice touch since he is the antagonist throughout.

Overall what a great job and a beautiful homage to the Underworld story and Nightwish.

John the Rogue Demon Hunter has issued the call!

I love the show Legend Of The Seeker and would like to see the show continue. I know the show has been given a second season but we need to act as though the show is in trouble before it is in trouble of being canceled. If you are a fan and have access to video footage(I am decabled and dont have access) start making some vids and promote the show. Lets increase the audience before that season two premiere.

Discus amongst yourselves on the original thread Calling all Vidders at Project: Shadow, or here.  Let’s get this done!

That is a really good idea. We have to do everything in our power to spread the word and Vids are a great way to do it.

Personally, I would love to see a Vidders guild where vidders can get together to share tips and tricks and take requests from untalented folk like me. Would you be interested in anything like that?

It’s no secret that I am not a fan of Twilight and that I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so when you can imagine the glee I felt when I saw this video of Buffy slaying Edward.  Well edited and funny, this is a great fan edit!

This is why J. J. Abrams should not be allowed to do a Star Trek TV Show.  The movie was good, but he did you use a lot of lens flares.

It is settled!  Nathan Fillion should be the Green Lantern and the whole corps needs to be in the movie.

This is one of the only songs I have ever heard that captures my love of Star Trek!  Julie Ecklar always delivers her trademaek brilliant performance.

What you have to remember about this song is, at the time their was a growing rift between Star Wars and Star Trek fans.  I tried to remain neutral, but songs like this and the Klingon Fight Song, made it nearly impossible to remain so.

This video is so well cut, it wouldn’t be hard to believe that this was an official video.  Great job.  This is the Legend of the Seeker.
