Terminator 2 Sweded: Low Budgment Day

Sarah Connor kicks ass!

Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back Sweded

Tron Sweded

This one ended up on wired.com:

Here, French filmmaker Freres-Hueon tackles the light cycle sequence in Tron, the '82 sci-fi cult classic that follows the adventures of a computer programmer who gets digitized by a laser.

Freres-Hueon emulates Tron's eye-popping, neon-etched visual style with colorful cardboard trails, seamless stop-motion animation and authentic audio from the film.

The result? A fantastic fan creation, worthy of geek accolades.

Here's the original scene for comparison:

Star Wars: A Cardboard Hope

Great effects in this one. One similar thing on this one and the sweded jurassic park is the use of sweded musical scoring, yet another new addition to the sweded film genre.

Jurrasic Park Sweded

We're back after almost a month. Here's another great sweded stuff i spotted via boingboing: Jurassic Park. Sweded films are getting better and better.

An Inconvenient Truth - Sweded

Apocalypse Now Sweded

Now this is my dream swede. I have the perfect location for the village attach scene - the place where it was actually filmed, which is just a few kilometers from where I am posting this. Watch:

Rambo Trailer Sweded

this swede video of the Rambo trailer totally ignored recreating the original's environment. It was made entirely inside the house. Talking about home-made. A viewer comment:

good work stripping the rambo elements and using your house as a stage. its the essence of our childhood. a good edition to the sweded genre

Movies Sweded Using Lego

Monscooch recreated some classic movie scenes using Lego. Another genre in sweded moviemaking.

These films were made as part of the NUI Galway Quiz Society multimedia performance quiz in aid of Concern. I made this film almost 3 years ago when I was 18 while in college which explains the crappiness. Each film took about 5 hours to make in total from set building, filming and editing. Fun to do though.

Son of Rambow

Check out the trailer for this indie film about 2 young homemade filmmakers in the 80's:



More info here.

Son of Rambow is the name of the home movie made by two little boys with a big video camera and even bigger ambitions. Set on a long English summer in the early 80’s, Son of Rambow is a comedy about friendship, faith and the tough business of growing up. We see the story through the eyes of Will, the eldest son of a fatherless Plymouth Brethren family. The Brethren regard themselves as God’s ‘chosen ones’ and their strict moral code means that Will has never been allowed to mix with the other ‘worldlies,’ listen to music or watch TV, until he finds himself caught up in the extraordinary world of Lee Carter, the school terror and maker of bizarre home movies. Carter exposes Will to a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood and from that moment Will’s mind is blown wide open and he’s easily convinced to be the stuntman in Lee Carters’ diabolical home movie. Will’s imaginative little brain is not only given chance to flourish in the world of film making, but is also very handy when it comes to dreaming up elaborate schemes to keep his partnership with Lee Carter a secret from the Brethren community. Will and Carter’s complete disregard for consequences and innocent ambition means that the process of making their film is a glorious rollercoaster that eventually leads to true friendship. They start to make a name for themselves at school as movie makers but when popularity descends on them in the form of the Pied Piper-esque French exchange student, Didier Revol, their unique friendship and their precious film are pushed, quite literally, to breaking point.

Kill Bill Sweded

Sweded Apocalypse Now Opening Sequence

I saw this one more than a year ago. There's still no word for this thing back then. This short clip is classic sweded stuff. It was made using "plywood, leaves, grass, sand and gasoline."



This video about the sound design of the scene features the video of the original sequence.

Be Kind Rewind Trailer Sweded

This is a sort of recursive thingy. Michel Gondry, the Director of Be Kind Rewind, the movie about "sweding", have sweded the trailer of the movie. Check out the video here.

High Tech Sweding

This is not really the regular low-tech, homemade stuff and it didn't recreate a movie or a movie scene. So technically this is not a sweded video but the idea of recreating the WW2 storming of Omaha beach with only 3 actors is awesome. From boingboing:

In this little youtube, three enterprising guys recreate the storming of Omaha Beach by filming themselves repeatedly running up the real Omaha Beach, climbing the bluffs, etc, and then cleverly composite the footage, accomplishing a scene as impressive as anything in Saving Private Ryan for a fraction of the cost

And here's the video:
