The Dark Toy Story Knight

Gremlins Fan Film

Youtube has a lot of fan films, but most of them suck. This is how it should be done. The creator, Sacha Feiner, put a lot of work into this…

“The creatures effects are all made with puppets. I made a new mold out of a hard cast of one of the original sculptures from the production. I created a batch of new foam puppets especially for this project. Their performances are enhanced by computer effects, which makes them able to do nearly anything, from running to jumping or facial expressions. The entire shooting takes place in a bluescreen studio, arranged in my basement, in order to superimpose the gremlins in the chosen movies. (…) The whole production was two months long. It has been finished on 15th july, 2008.
This is a fan, non profit project. I did everything alone, from the filming to the compositing. I only had assistants for the puppeteering. The overall budget, including the purchasing of the original sculpture, the HD and studio equipment, the molding and painting of the puppets and the editing, was about US $3000. This is also an answer to something Joe Dante said in an interview, when the journalist asked why they did not shoot any new alternate sequence for the DVD edition: “I guess there was no budget”! Indeed, the purpose is also to show that it is possible to render a professional, entertaining and well done sequence for… nearly nothing.”

So the least we can do to repay him, is watch the movie and rate it five stars. The Gremlins are featured in blockbusters such as Godzilla, The Exorcist, Batman, Indiana Jones and some more!
