made a fanvid?

(I know, you were expecting something SERIOUSLY wrong from me. It's just been on my mind a lot lately. I think someday I'm really going to have to figure out the tech required & get into them)

Not as such, no. Way back in junior college I made a Super-8 movie with the Twins Mercer that took a lot of inspiration from Star Wars in terms of technology and general storyline, though Luke, Leia and Han were nowhere in evidence.

As a follow-up, technology has put movie-making within much easier reach than, say, twenty years ago when me and the twins made our films. For the cost of a $300 camera and a computer, you can churn out videos by the score - for a few hundred dollars more you can do HD/Blu-Ray.

Windows Moviemaker and iMovie on the Mac are decent, if elementary editors. If you're not picky about the legality of your software, you can set yourself up as good as a small Hollywood studio.

The film Star Wars: Revelations (http://panicstruckpro.com/revelations/) is actually better than Episode 1, and cost less than $13,000. Okay, the acting is shit, but we don't watch anything "star wars" for the acting.
