j'ai par facilité copier coller sa presentation ci dessous
( desolé pour les non_anglicistes dont je fais parti )
WHO AM I ?
"Sacha Feiner - I am a movie and animated movie director, special effects creator and sculptor, in Brussels. I made several short films, documentaries, and cartoons; I also work as a graphist. In
2007 and 2008, I made an animated series and recut trailers that were
played at the BRUSSELS INTERNATIONAL FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL (largest
genre festival in Europe), before each screening.
WHAT IS IT?
In the middle of the movie Gremlins 2,
there is a sequence where the film seems to break, and where the
gremlins invade the projection booth. For the VHS edition in the early
90's, they reshot a special sequence where the VHS tape seemed to be
torn apart and in which the gremlins invaded a John Wayne movie. The
DVD just kept the original theatrical version. This is the alternate sequence I made, supposed to replace the theatrical one on the DVD.
HOW IS IT MADE?
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."
MAKING OF : GREMLINS FAN FILM
Attention !!! nouveau projet 2009
UNSAFE :
WHY THIS PROJECT ?
I
have been a gremlins fan since I saw the first movie
as a kid and it
has always been my dream to be part
of such a project. I own one of the
largest Gremlins
collections in the world; tons of merchandising
products and several original screen-used props. I am
truly passionated
with these creatures (and their
movies), as well as with special
effects. I am lucky
enough to be able to afford the whole making of
something like this, entirely written, produced and
directed by me.
HOW LONG AND HOW MUCH?
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.
