Treasure of the Templars - fan flick

Oh, also about Indy looking like a weeny arm. Ok can't defend that I should have worked out more. Sorry. But an adolescent Indy he is - the idea was to have Indy be the same age as myself so the entire story is structured around that - its all a prequel to the trilogy.

LOL

Oops. Sorry.

The 'Weeny Arm' comment was in contrast and Comparison to HARRISON FORDS Indiana Jones. Taking foot out of mouth now.

It does look like the coolest fan film ever made (The Star Wars ones are a little on the geeky side and too full of Jedi's for me). Keep us in the loop as I'd like to see more. I can't say I'd ever make a fan film but if I did it'd probally be Indy.
 
LOL don't worry about it - I prefer honest opinions to diplomatically constructed ones and its not the first time somone has brought up Indy's stature. I think its a fair point.

We have a behind the scenes video as well if you want to see how filming went in Scotland:

Ken,
Absolutely fantastic. I knew that look was in the XL2 somewhere but it just had to be found. Bless you for finding it. Great job.
 
I want to tell you Ken that you are an inspiration and greatly motivate alot of us here (i feel I can speak for quite a few on this). Seeing how it all started with just backyard games to a full feature film that looks just stunning. We can all do it if we try. I know personally being in the Air Force right now I get quite depressed feeling like im stuck here in South Carolina filming someone talking and copying it to DVD just to go home and say man I didn't do anything. But reading your little speech of the process and also seeing the clips makes me go wow! No offense, but if he can do it, I know I can as well. I just gotta put my mind to it. Im sure there are people out there nice enough to want to help me as well. I feel that I help out in everything I can in life and im sure I have a few equals out there that want to team up. Great job man and I hope you go far in all you do.

Know what also? I want to be an actor as well and I think I can act just as good as anyone else on the big screen, I just need my chance. Let me know if you ever need a White 25/26 year old to do anything on screen! Im in South Carolina though... I wish to god I was in Cali or New York or something to get where more films are being made.
 
Great work I really enjoyed the action scenes the most. Some of the acting was over acted, but overall I'm really impress with your dedication to the project.
 
Thank you.

Skettalee - I actually think you might have a better chance outside of CA. Everyone there is an actor or somehow related to the industry but for example here in the UK, to the general public anyone making or associated with a film is something of a rarity

Wow, REALLY impressive. Not so much for the XL2, as it's difficult to tell with the low bandwidth/size, but the film was fun to watch, and was altogether well done. Loved the website too.
 
Thanks for the praise guys. We are hoping to have a proper trailer ready by mid November and then it will be battling for the premier!

Weird... you know, unlike that 5 min opening scene the trailer didn't impress at all. It looked like video, it sounded bad and overall tasted like any other amateur fan film. Sorry... :undecided

You know, that seems like it's going to sting more, given your avatar.
 
i think this is an amazing achievment. fan film or not, it is really a showcase of hard work and dedication. My personal issues are with some of the acting, the sound (not great) and the main actor choice. It's personal taste. He doesn't do it for me as the gruff leading man/indiana jones type. The framing as well on some scenes was a little too basic, setups too rudimentary for such a stylized concept as inidana jones. However, that's me trying to be strict and unpatronizing. Great work and should get a lot of praise from indy fans.

You are probably right :embarasse It's just that this new footage somehow wasn't on par with the really excellent opening that was posted earlier. Or at least it didn't look as such to me...

May I suggest one thing, though? Get rid of that trying-to-look-badass-sexy-chick with the gun from the trailer... and from the movie, if possible. That single shot manages to ruin the teaser more than anything else :lipsrseal
