Hey, a few days ago we accidentally released a rough cut of the final film with unfinished effects and sound. For those who saw it we apologies, we hope you will still enjoy the finished film when it comes. And please, please don't spoil anything. Btw the work is moving forward.
@@Naefacesix6six I know the feeling, think the best is our instagram. Not a lot of updates there now (Dont want to spoil), but when we are close we will dump a lot of stuff there.
UPDATE: We are still working on this film, more now than a year ago. We understand some of you have given up, but know this FORCE OF DARKNESS will be complete.
I remember when I was in film school and I had released a teaser trailer for a project I was proposing to a class at the time and I showed it to the everyone. I had the all to familiar phrase at the end of the trailer which was: "C O M I N G S O O N" Once the teaser trailer ended, one of my instructor's criticisms were to NOT put that phrase after any trailer unless I knew for certain that it was coming soon. And seeing how that teaser trailer was a proposition for the midterm and considering that it ultimately didn't get green-lit by the majority of the class to be worked on, I never followed up on it on my own due to similar issues. So after watching your trailer and seeing that same phrase and then hearing the issues going on with your project (which is completely understandable by the way), I now know why my instructor advised me to never put "coming soon" in any of the trailers I make. It can give the viewer the wrong impression; making them think that the movie is coming soon. Then they can get disappointed hearing that it's been pushed back or scratched completely due to economic issues. It can leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. And I'm sure it doesn't make the creator feel good either. So I guess, my advice (which you don't have to take by the way) is to not put "coming soon" in your teaser trailers unless you are a big time production company that is well known, has the funds to make this film and in addition are certain this project has been signed off by many legit people backing it.... to be released. Until then, just make the trailer (minus the phrase) and say it's a fan-film or a small concept. That way when you do FINISH the project and release the completed film, it'll take everyone by surprise and have a bigger and better impact.
Your so right. Its hard when we really thought that we would be done soon. And to be honest we could have released a version of the film soon after the first teaser. But we changed our ambitions, and wanted to make something better. Not just for us but for the Star wars community. I really hope you and other will still think it was worth the wait. But yes, we will never write that again, but at the same time we like that people are active and want us to get done, that means people care about the project. Thanks for your input.
to be honest we should thank you, your work is amazing! Probably many of us don't have so much passion, determination and ideas to make such a great things. Thank you a lot! ❤️ (Sorry for my bad English I'm still learning.)
Honestly I cannot wait for this film. Usually I cringe at videos that involve bad plot lines, or production value. But this one looks like it'll have everything a Star Wars fan wants out of a short film.
After you guys do release it, do you guys think you can post a behind the scenes video! That’d be amazing even if it were a patreon thing I’d definitely pay to see that! Keep up the amazing work :)
My brother studied film & vid in college and has explained many of the issues making even commercials, and having lived not far from NYC you occasionally see some commercials and film stuff going on and the complexities involved. Some friends also in the NJ/NYC area were/are in the theater field, so I know well before the finished product there's a lotta time & effort and headaches. Even Disney takes time to make it all work and they have $$$$$$ and more ppl, but they started small a long time ago, even Amazon started in a garage. Do what you have to do and do Vader and Kylo as possible, good luck from across the pond.
@@SeizeTheFrame Doc is an old nic name, more about my sarcasm being like Bugs Bunny's, my gen grew up w Loony Toons. I liked the trailer so if the rest is equal I'll like it, saw the initial on the SW Theory ch, I sub to that, gotta have some good sci-fi stuff every day, lotta reg science stuff and educational, keep the mind working and not become a zombie like many ppl are today. I can recommend a good 2 Brit ch called HorrorBabble, cool couple in I think Yorkshire do narrated horror from HP Lovecraft and etc and some of their own.
If you need some help with vfx to make thinks a little bit faster, I can help for free. I use primarily After effects, Cinema 4D, Vegas, Premiere and Photoshop.
@@SeizeTheFrame Yes, my last participation was just last february, it's my best so far since it was my first time in a serious project. Please send me an email: nicolastudor@gmail.com
What would be awesome is that if Disney sees your footage and decides to incorporate it into a Force Awakens "Special Feature" sort of deleted scene if you will on the eventual trilogy release after they're done with Episodes 7-9. Describing it as a scene where Kylo has passed out in shock of his injuries after facing Rey and while lying nearly dead in the snow he has a vision where he's facing Vader and what Rey told him comes to fruition, that he isn't as great as Darth Vader.
Hey SeizeThe Frame! I was curious, have you thought about doing Old EU Legends fan films? Honestly, I'd LOVE to see your take on the mighty Abeloth, or secretive and paranoid Darth Andeddu, or even the mysterious Lumiya...
Okay so reading the comments and listening to this update, I assumed by "movie" was to mean like a short-film or something as in a 30 minute movie. Is that the idea or like the length of a movie where it's roughly 3 hours long? Either way, I can't wait to see the result of this. That trailer was fucking badass
Is this still going to be released...? I got excited from day one and always showed my support to this. Like me there are plenty. Can we have an update, please?
Hey Marquez. Yes it will. Our company has just exploded with jobs, jobs we had to take. The last year has been crazy, but we still managed to fit some filming for this project. And this month we will be filming a big scene. And after that we have 2 or 3 more days of filming. And we hope to do them soon. We also are waiting for some 3d stuff to get done. So we still are working on this film. We talk about it EVERY day. We have not forgotten you guys. Our goal was just to make a freaking awesome fight scene, that we are proud of. It just took much more time than we expected and cost us much more money than we have. Thanks for being there for us, and i really hope you like what we bring. When we film next time we will take some photos and put up on Instagram, and or maybe a video from the shoot.
That would be really cool. We are really trying to be on the edge of what we can do. This film could have been done the first time we filmed, but we felt that youtube is full of fun star wars fanfilms, that look okay, and thats fine. But we wanted to se how good we could do it. Thanks a lot for your support, comments like yours helps us make the film.
@@SeizeTheFrame No, Thank you for making this happen. As I said if a teaser reached 1+M views imagine how many views you'll get for the whole thing. Take your time. I know you will deliver.
You guys have to fix the sound of the lightsaber of Kylo Ren, it's sound's inestable and completely different from the other lightsabers, it could be a nice detail. (Srry my bad english.)
Hi Jonas. Me and a Friend are currently finishing up on a brand new fan cut of The Force Awakens and was wondering if we could use some of your Teaser footage of Kylo vs Vader? Our cut is a non profit film, yet You and everyone else involved will be given full credit. Also, If you could send me your email address that way I could send you the footage we have that will incorporates your teaser footage?
And why i had a feeling that you guys will not release it? I can wait for it, but how long it was since the teaser? May 4 2016 and now is almost end of 2017, so... yeah, i'm talking about what i'm seen. And it's a shame that we (like all of a people who been waiting for this movie) never gonna see it. I wish to see it, i really do, but it looks like (and feels like) you are never gonna release it. I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but i saw every Star Wars movie, except for the new movies but i'm gonna fix that, and i like it, and your fan films looks very, like VERY, promising. I really wish that you release it, but it's all up to you guys, and no one can do nothing about it :(
Galaxy Hunter it’s a 6-7 minute long video.. that doesn’t take 2 years.. also they’ve already Made, finished and edited it.. o watched the full thing in a leaked video that they must have taken down
So is this ever gonna be released? Maybe I just don’t appreciate what goes on making a fan film, but SW Theory talked about his fan film for a few months then got started making it and had it done and on yt shortly after (and it’s the greatest SW thing I’ve seen since disney destroyed the franchise). Yours has been in progress for like 2 years? Why so long? Is yours gonna be a full length type thing? Is it financial? Lack of time? Loss of interest? I’m truly wanting to know because the clip I saw looks amazing!!! Even though it has that disney ABOMINATION (kylo ren) in it, I’ll still watch cuz VADER ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. But PLEASE don’t make it stupid and have kylo being equal to Vader. If that silly cow ray can beat kylo, then Vader would DESTROY him. As if kylo was any worry to Vader. He’s like a fly to an airplane.
Hey thanks for showing interest. So basically we live on making commercials and this film is just i side project that we love. We don´t have the money like SW theory, not even close, everything comes out of our pockets so we have to divide it in time, we have time. But it takes a lot of it. We have failed on releasing it in the time we thought. BUT we are still working on it, every day in some way. The finished film will be around 8 minutes and it will be 8 minutes of our best effort, we could have received it earlier but then if we dont make it as good as possible it would be pointless for us. But we have never been closer, just hold out a bit more. And i hope you like the end result.
SeizeThe Frame Ahhh ok. I was curious and thanks for answering. I’ll stick around for it cuz it looks awesome and VADER ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!! How much is left to do? Did you use actors as Vader and kylo or is it CGI? Did you have to get permission from LucasFilm or disney to use V and k?
Hey, a few days ago we accidentally released a rough cut of the final film with unfinished effects and sound. For those who saw it we apologies, we hope you will still enjoy the finished film when it comes. And please, please don't spoil anything.
Btw the work is moving forward.
I very much look forward to this project being complete. Thank you for continuing your work on this project.
@@Naefacesix6six Hey, don't want to make any promises, we have to film some more and do a ton of vfx work. Hope you like it when its done :)
@@ThemagicofEd Thanks, means a lot to us!
@@SeizeTheFrame i am so impatient 😂😂 but buzzing for when it drops! anywhere I can keep up-to-date or just keep checking back?
@@Naefacesix6six I know the feeling, think the best is our instagram. Not a lot of updates there now (Dont want to spoil), but when we are close we will dump a lot of stuff there.
Greetings and Love from Star Wars Theory. May the Force be with you.
Always! Thanks
@@SeizeTheFrame No Problem! Hopefully your movie goes well. Can't wait to see it.
UPDATE: We are still working on this film, more now than a year ago. We understand some of you have given up, but know this FORCE OF DARKNESS will be complete.
Good news.
SeizeThe Frame When?
Do not want to say, and make you sad if we don´t make it. But you will know when the darkness hits youtube.
The trailer you made was so epic! I got really hyped for this film when I saw it and I really hope you did not loose your ambition to work on it. ಥ_ಥ
Next should probably be Kylo Ren vs Darth Maul or Kylo Ren vs Lord Voldemort. Either of those would be fine.
Greetings we come from the mighty star wars theory
Greetings from the humble Seize the frame:)
@CLAPPED DUDE
Same here
So... 4 years after the initial "teaser"... Whats up?
ryan bonner I’ve been wondering the same thing😉.
I remember when I was in film school and I had released a teaser trailer for a project I was proposing to a class at the time and I showed it to the everyone. I had the all to familiar phrase at the end of the trailer which was:

It can give the viewer the wrong impression; making them think that the movie is coming soon.

You sir did a *perfect* fan Film. 👍
I haven't wanted a star wars fan film more than i wanted this
Thats awesome, thats what we wanted to se also. Hope you will be pleased:)
I have a lot of respect for you!
Looking forward to the finished product! :D
Thanks:) Hope you like it when it comes.
Definitely a supporter as of today from finding out and GREAT JOB IN THE VIDEO 15/10
Hey dude, I’m so excited to see your film, I’ve been waiting for over a year now but Idc. Can’t wait!
Nice work !!! I can't wait for the final version !!
Good luck on making the movie and take your time
PS:the teaser looks awesome!
Really really liked it! Saw via Star Wars Theory! You're doing a top quaility job fellas! 🙂 O.O.K 💙👌🏼
to be honest we should thank you, your work is amazing! Probably many of us don't have so much passion, determination and ideas to make such a great things. Thank you a lot! ❤️

Wow thanks, nice words. We just hope you will like it and that we can continue doing films like this.

Take all the time you guys need.
Thanks:)
Honestly I cannot wait for this film. Usually I cringe at videos that involve bad plot lines, or production value. But this one looks like it'll have everything a Star Wars fan wants out of a short film.
Just take your time we could wait

Thanks Elard, we have, now we are really close.
I look forward to the finished result.
