Middle-earth Magic - CGI/VFX Reel
Uploaded by HuntForGollum - Watch feature films and entire TV shows.
A fan film like no other some of the guys here hang out on CG Talk matte painting. It is nice to see a mix of industry professionals with new guys to the scene.
The work done here is awe inspiring and I thought I would share it here with you.
I have been asked to work on three fan films so far, it takes a lot of your free time and work to produce high quality. The most intense one where I provided speed paints and concept art was the Axum project. I hope my mate Cliff still goes ahead with it. I have also been approached by a young New Zealander by the name of Chris Hurn, the next Peter Jackson methinks.
Last night I was surprised to find that a good friend of mine has a job with framestore in London. Really excited him for him, you may have seen his work in Ashes to Ashes and Quantam of Solace.
The only way to progress is to make your own films and push yourself.
Ryan Wieber produced a youtube classic Ryan V Dorkman then later RVD2 doing his own light sabre fights and effects. He was snapped up by Lucasfilm and was last seen working for Stargate studios on Heroes.
There is no magic solution you have to work for it, pure and simple.

Hi Rich, :)
This is Kaustav Sinha! Nice to see this post on "The Hunt For Gollum" movie! It was an experience of my lifetime to work on such an amazing fan-film! To me, the learning experience I got, is way much more important than any other thing! I was fortunate to get a chance to work in this awesome project, where some of my mentors like Tiberius Viris & Maciej Kuciara were working!
Thanks,
Kaustav
Nice to see you here Kaustav, your work was awesome on this film. Better keep an eye out for you in the future.
I have a project in the pipeline, when the concept work has been done I will let you know.
Regards
Rich
I had dinner with Ryan and a bunch of other fan filmmakers in LA a few weeks ago after an author talk for my book about fan films, Homemade Hollywood, which just came out. While they were each working on their fan projects, nearly everyone at the table was also working their way into the industry starting at the bottom. Between the potential visibility that comes from a well-made fan project and a proper resume of industry work, they're all aiming to make their mark sooner or later.
