Calling all Rebels! There's a new film on the way! This time it's a noir thriller shot on all four of Kodaks analog film stocks. That's right! Super 8, Super 16, 35mm, and yes.. glorious 65mm film. We are crowdfunding the last part of the film, and need your help! Check out the video below. It's a really cool project!!
It's a brand new Rebel Pictures short film that was captured on a single case of kodak 50D, Super 8 film. (That’s 2,5 minutes of raw-material) The film was made as a test for a bigger project and was metered, shot, directed and edited by Jesper Tønnes. It stars the wonderful Bo Thomas, Jakob Fløe Lind, and the sound was recorded by Baldur Meitil.
Film is amazing! Not just when talking about the art-form but as a medium as well. There’s something magical about capturing light on a physical piece of plastic, and then after a bunch of chemical-baths being able to show it off as a picture. The texture, the color, the gear but most of all I the process.
Rebel Pictures is slowly moving towards our dream of being able to shot motion picture film. To get back to the roots of filmmaking, where the sound of the camera meant money was being spend, and every frame had to be used to it’s upmost creative potential. There's always stakes in filmmaking but film ads a element of importance to every frame that we love to explore. Like the audience in a theatre, the “rolling of film” gives the work and performance something to bounce back off.
It’s super exiting to play around with Super 8. It’s a small format that have come a long way since Kodak introduced the Vision3 filmstock. We know this film isn't much. It is style over substance, and long shot from shoving the true cinematic potential of the format. But as a test is was a wonderful make-or-break way to see if we had skill to work with film. We also hope it can inspire. Film is alive and well. Everybody who loves making moves should go shot some film.
The film was scanned with a bit of headroom. So what you’re seeing in the top and bottom is the next and previous piece of film just before it rolls on to the “stage” - Shot on a Canon 1014 XL-S with an AG-LA7200 Anamorphic Lens Adapter. The film was processed through Shutterbug in Copenhagen.
Let's us know in the comments what you feel when you experience the Super 8 look.
LOCK-DOWN-VIDEOS So the last couple of years been very interesting, in every way possible. While we've where working on the "Last Padawan 2" a pandemic hit, and we where all sent home during lock-down. This is of course no excuse to not being creative, so a few short videos where actually made during this time. They where just not released on YouTube... until now!
In the coming week we will share 3 short videos that where made during the pandemic and lock-down. They are not STAR WARS related but hopefully many of you can still enjoy them. Don't worry though, there is more Last Padawan content coming.
The first film will be released tomorrow. Its called "El Mafioso". It's a short, improvised scene, shot on Kodak SUPER 8 film, starring the magnificent Jonathan Harboe.
Wow! 500.000 views!! Thank you so much to all those who have watched "The Last Padawan 2". We've spent a lot of time and energy making this film, and your wonderful responses and comments, are all making it all worthwhile. If you want to support the project further, and helps us fight for THE NEXT LAST PADAWAN FILM, remember to share the film with friends and other Star Wars fans. The popularity of this film means a lot in making the next one possible. Maybe we can even get THE LAST PADAWAN on Lucasfilm/Disneys radar. Everybody worked for free on this film, but we can't keep expecting that from our wonderful, talented crew. We need Lucasfilm/Disney to approve that we can pay our crew. So share the film and help us make the next chapter in the story about The Inquisitor, Jax.... and the Padawan.
Once again thank you, and may the force be with you... always.
The time has finally come!! Tomorrow, September 3rd, "The Last Padawan 2" will premiere at Odense International Filmfestival. We can't wait to show all the wonderful people at the festival our film, that we been working on for so long. This film was truly made to be show in the cinema, and we are so happy that it's finally possible again. The team behind the film have given it all they got to bring this, epic 50 minuts, fan made, Star Wars adventure, to life. Remember that a part of the STAR WARS FAN FILM DEAL is that everybody works for free, so this film couldn't have been made without all these amazing people giving up their free time to work on the film. "The Last Padawan 2" will premiere at the filmfestival tomorrow, afterwards we will spend two weeks finetuning the film, so it's ready for its Youtube release. We hope you can be patient just a little bit longer. I promise you it's worth the wait!
