His name is Chris Bouchard and George Lucas is a fan. As the director of Star Wars Bouchard fact is at the heart of some of the most important film projects that are changing the world of film fans and not always acting as director, George Lucas has a passion for the great sagas and the special effects and Finally, as he is likely to revolutionize the world of fan films (ie films that exploit well-known legends, facts by fans for its own use and consumption, non-profit and small budget). A Chris Bouchard
put on the frontier of cinema fan (a border indpendente most of the independents) are not so much the solutions and technological innovations made in the field but what that actually had the courage and daring to do. With his fan film inspired by The Lord of the Rings, The Hunt For Gollum , the young Englishman (already part of other projects by fans as Star Wars: Revelations or Born Of Hope) undoubtedly creates an unprecedented quality, length and effort.
With 3,000 pounds of expenditure (approximately € 3,500), bringing together over 160 actors and extras ready to work free running during holidays in the woods of North Wales, Bouchard made a 45-minute short feature impressive close to the films of Peter Jackson. Certainly no one would trade for a film ever made in Hollywood, but still it is enjoyable thanks to the meticulous work of reconstruction and digital technologies. How
Lucas at the time introduced the digital cinema, so Bouchard thanks to a careful use of all those instruments at reasonable and affordable for everyone is able to demonstrate to all his fellow-fan filmmakers another step in terms of quality can, in fact, raising the bar. How did she spend only € 3,500? "We just bought everything that we could not re-use, borrow, steal or use for free. We went very essence of the costs "that's how.
The story also is not too farfetched. Of course you can not compare with that basted by JRR Tolkien, but imagine some event that takes place between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the ' Ring is not even too difficult for a true Tolken, given the mountain of information that the British writer has written in his novels and in the Compendium of the History of Middle Earth, The Simmarillion.
The Hunt For Gollum tells of the hunt, Aragorn and Gandalf damage when they discover that Gollum could have vital information about where the ring. To give chase be horrendous of course there are the forces of evil. All in Middle-earth is preparing for the Great War.
And the big studios? They're happy. And as if I am! The fan film feeds the mouth and keep alive the attention and waiting for other trades, or other films, the ones who make a profit instead of him for sure as in this case The Hobbit. Increasingly, in fact, the studios are ready to provide material, clothes, advice or to indicate the most suitable location, all I know how the basic words that can help other penniless fans put together their film.
But in the case of Lord of the Rings there is a higher authority by consult. Despite the great caution and great respect for the final approval Bouchard addressed directly to the Tolkien Enterprise, explaining that the project had not the slightest intention to profit. And so it was. The Hunt For Gollum, despite the praise and download, not anything to earn its author and those who worked on it. The goal is not simply that. A fan film is not meant to make money but to be done. To enter the space of those who create stories around a shared universe of mythology and passion. However
would be naive to think that there is also an idea about what might sevire this effort. Just as George Lucas Bouchard also well understood and that the result of a film does not stop to his own vision and that, especially with a distribution network, it can bring benefits (or profits in the case of Lucas), especially after watching. In the case of The Hunt For Gollum, the idea of \u200b\u200bBouchard is to have an audience, that is to find a mass of users would not be as great as imagined making a movie from the original subject. Such a wide audience to circulate its name, and maybe even allow him to make the leap that this film has in mind for a long time ...
