A great example of what a collective passion and effort can bring to life, even when big producers or companies with their monetary interests do not get involved.
‘*especially* when big producers or companies…do not get involved.’ Too often lately we’ve seen Hollywood deface culturally iconic IPs like Middle Earth, motivated by their greed or agenda. Films like this show a love for Tolkien’s source material that Hollywood cannot fake.
It's so good to see passionate people come together and release something like this! These kind of fan films are what make the Tolkien fandom the best, you don't need money, just a want to create something you love 👏🔥
It is a great honour for me to have worked on this film. It was a challenge for me, which I accepted as an actor and the result is stunning. I am overjoyed to have been part of the whole team. I hope a lot of fans enjoy the film.
When you enjoy a fan-film more than a billion dollar amazon series..... The filming locations are epic. Really captured that Middle-Earth vibe. Well done.
Apart from amazoos project wokeness ruination, the production looked pretty good, even though I had to stop watching it after two-three episodes due to its wokeness, then I had to unsubscribe also due to that. But this film could have done better in some areas, like sounding more like orcs and the acting, things that don't require extra time or filming (I am sure they watched TLOTR movies and many others for both acting and orc-tone).
Congratulations to everybody involved, the fact that you put all this effort in to this short film, taking your energy from pure passion, almost brought me to tears if I‘m fully honest. Thank you for putting this out there!
This was amazing! I was on the edge of my seat the entire short film. It was too short! Congratulations to you all for pulling off an amazing work of fandom.
This is amazing! I enjoyed it so much and as a Tolkien fan of 6 years I am blown away by the quality and how it enriched my perception of Tolkien's work. He'd give you all a hug. Well done, guys!
This was absolutely incredible, for a short film and not a big studio or anything, you made it work, there is stuff you can improve BUT, ignore that, you did incredible and should be proud.
Saw your film at the swiss youth filmfestival yesterday and I'm so glad it was in the programm. The commitment and heart you put into it shines through and it was so unexpected and refreshing inbetween the other projects. the best 25 minutes of the entire screening. Great job!!
Wow! Very impressive and well done: From idea, story telling to production and final result! Great work! Keep up your passion: Cannot wait to hear & see more from you guys! 🥳🤩
I appreciate such a great effort, dedication and passion! Well done! Eager to see more! A little tip: Research into color grading. Will make a massive difference! Keep going!
It looks absolutely stunning and you can be so proud of how this whole project turned out! I want to congratulate everyone involved, you can just see the passion in it! I can’t wait to see future projects of you guys and never stop making new things :)
Honestly, hard not to comment on this. I came expecting nothing, and went away wanting a sequel. Congratiulations! You all deserves the highests of honors. (((The best Lord of the Rings adaptation of the year)))
Stumbling on it now, after I rewached "The Horn of Gondor" and saw a recommendation by RUclips. It looks a pretty decent short film, I'll certainly like and share. Good work, and I'm sure next ones will be even better :) Music is insanely good!
I’ve been a fan of Tolkien for a long time and was really excited for this and it it was great from the setting to the story oh man it was great can’t wait for your future work
Since this was anounced I could not wait to see this.Well let's just say it was worth the wait.The devotion that was put into this shows in every single moment of this masterpiece.Huge congratulations to everyone working on this project, more people should see this!Are you planning to do similar projects in the future by the way?
Thank you so much! Yes we will work on new projects in the future, but not sure if it will be about lord of the rings ; ) Now we will first of all publish all the making ofs🙂
Super schön gemacht!! Simple Geschichte, die einem dann doch bis zum Ende so gefesselt hat!!! Wie habt ihr es geschafft, dass man (jedenfalls ich) nie etwas "modernes" auf den Landschaftsaufnahmen gesehen hat? Super abgestimmt, oder Post-Production?
Danke! Schön hast du keinen Filmfehler gesehen;) Aber das liegt an ein paar talentierten VFX-Künstlern, die Seilbahnen, Pfosten und Strassen rausretuschiert haben ;)
First good things. Location scouting was perfect, great place to shoot. Music - well done, atmosphere of the original trilogy but somehow different, great piece. Costumes - you did what you could with your budget, looks Cool. You can see heart and love put in the work, but technicalities are pushing me away. Life sentence for DOP (and editor). Most of shots are shot like complete amateur. Golden ratio doesnt exist, not even mentioning Fibonacci, weird choices, like many shots are crooked, same scene with different light and i think it was shot in 16x9 ratio, coz i cant belive how many shots just cut half of forhead to show Little neck, it looks like it has been edited to cinemascope. Weird distortions in evening/night scenes, doesnt add on to atmosphere, more look like mistakes. Drone shots and super wide shots are the only that are good. And audio. I know sometimes you are on set, and mic guys won't hear background noise that destroys vocals, but not throughout whole movie. Voiceover was tool to Save it, but person directing actors in studio, didnt directed them well enough. Its emotionless and not good fit to video we see. Im holding fingers for you to become better and do more stuff, im sure you'll improve.
Kann man sich bei euch noch bewerben für eine Rolle ? Wäre mein größter Traum mal in die Welt abzutauchen und mich in eine mittelalterliche Krieger-Rolle zu versetzen! Sehr gelungenes Projekt! Nur positives von mir und macht weiter so wirklich starke Leistung! 💪👏
Do you want to support our project? Then please share it with your friends and leave a like and comment! Thank you🥰
you could have made a film based on the a
appendix: the disaster in the gladden fields. 😅

this deserves way more views and likes!!!!!

A very good piece of art. As a guy who appreciates medieval things, and the work of J.R.R Tolkien, you did a wonderful interpretation.

Yes thanks! We only had a few days for the grade, which is way to less but thanks anyways!!
The amount of passion involved in this creation is inspiring! Thank you for bringing your vision to light. Thanks to everyone involved! Great effort!
What a master piece 👏 great job !
Thank you for your kind words!
Proper fanfiction that even puts Amazon garbage to shame with a literal tiny fraction of the budget
Much better than the Amazon crap
I loved it, the camera work and scenery was amazing, the story felt truly dire and pressuring
So nice to hear, thank you!
This was an excellent film. Thank you.
This is fantastic , and I say that as a life long , ready the books twice a year for the last 38 years , Tolkien nerd
So much better than Amazon’s bazillion dollar Rings of Power!
I saw the 1,2,3 and 4 episode it is that bad at the end?
I wish LOTR fans would enjoy LOTR without having to resort to negativity like Star Wars fans
Amazing work guys, absolutely loving this 👏
It looks absolutely stunning and you can be so proud of how this whole project turned out! I want to congratulate everyone involved, you can just see the passion in it! I can’t wait to see future projects of you guys and never stop making new things :)

Thank you so much for your kind words! Means a lot to us.
Great job! Love a fan film. Love LOTR.
The Narration at the beginning gave me Lotr Bfme vibes
Props all around.
Also I want to go to wherever this was filmed and backpack around; super beautiful
Haha so nice;) Filmed all over Switzerland;)
Beautiful fan film. I love the passion behind this. Bravo to everyone involved 👏
Thank you;)
Where was Gondor???
Well done!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Loved seeing how much you put into this project
Amazing if there will be one can’t wait for a next movie👀
Just started watching. The art at the beginning is exceptional.
Stumbling on it now, after I rewached "The Horn of Gondor" and saw a recommendation by RUclips. It looks a pretty decent short film, I'll certainly like and share. Good work, and I'm sure next ones will be even better :) Music is insanely good!
Thank you;)
Very good film! Better than Rings of Power!
This is one of the greatest and most wonderful creations I’ve ever seen as a tribute to Tolkien’s work ever (besides Peter Jackson’s ofcourse)
This is absolutely amazing

Besser als Ringe der Macht
very well done !!
Hender super gmachd!!
15:06 looks exactly like Lord of the Rings how did you do that?
We shot in the beautiful Switzerland ;) Do you see much of a difference compared to New Zealand?
@@lymbus_agency No I actually think the grass and the rocks lock really simmilar to them in New Zealand
Swiss mountains and removal of too many cablecars :D
@@mikasso_. Awesome!

I'd rather watch content like this as compared to something like Rings of Power
Thank you so much!!
Well done! Where? It looks beautiful. Given the Producer names I'm guessing Austria or Germany, but truly lovely. God's creation is spectacular!
Thank you! We made it interally in switzerland. Canton of bern and grisons
