Has this been done already? A 40 minute LOTR episode shot for £3,000 by 160 amateur filmmakers. Just watched it and although it’s not Peter Jackson it is pretty amazing.

good stuff. Love the fight sequence where strider takes out an entire orc raiding party.

just downloading it, looks good so far, will save it for bigger screen

*bump* worth a look 🙂

Cheers!
I’d heard nothing about this film and have been a massive Tolkien fan since I was a lad. 😀

I’d say they did a very good job of fitting in with the look and feel of the Jackson films, and the fight scene is really excellent, but the plot is based on a few paragraphs from Tolkein, and it shows. I’ll certainly watch it again, and I enjoyed the “making of” clip too 🙂

I really enjoyed it. Looked good with my new 22.5″ PC monitor. 🙂
A few scenes were filmed in Epping Forest which is local to me.

ta for that – very good!

This autumn you should also look out for Born of Hope, a story about Aragorn’s early years.

Are there any other small budget films like this around? i really enjoyed it and I thought they did an excellent job on such a small budget

Does anyone else have a good FLV-MPG convertor ? I’ve downloaded the film, which plays well on my pooter as an FLV, but when I convert it to MPG (for my PVR) it’s blocky and jerky 🙁

mrmichaelwright- how are you downloading it?
