Sweded Lord of the Rings

March 27, 2008 12:39am

This sweded flick was directed by Daniel Loyd. I posted this video on my Sweded Blog last January and emailed Daniel for some info about the project. This was his reply:


I'm the director and the writers are Michael Leffler and Michael Shaw, both writer actors for G4TV. We're all based in Los Angeles and we're inspired to do the spoof by the film 'bekind rewind', coming out soon. We tried to make it as good as we could, while working within the limitations of 'what we could make, or find, or cheaply purchase around town'. We tried to get back into the mindset of friends doing this for fun back in school. We spent 3 weeks in preproduction, making costumes and props, scouting locations and finalizing the script. (our script, and planning used the open-source program Celtx, and our project with all the detail is featured on pc.celtx.com). We shot it over a saturday and sunday last december. First shooting in Bronson Canyon, LA. Then moving to a canyon in the Pacific Palisades because we we're kicked out of Bronson! (permits...). Sunday we shot all interiors and Elrond's council at my friend Wendy's house (she was VERY nice to let us take over). Post production was on Final Cut Pro, and took the next three days. Since we posted it on youtube/myspace and facebook, it's done very well and we're incredibly happy with everyone's response!
