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:

Twister Sweded

300 Sweded

Back to the Future Sweded (x3)

This one features a black and big Doc Emmet:



This one is a sweded trailer of Back to the Future.



And lastly, the entire BTTF Trilogy Sweded:

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.

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.

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.

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:

Star Wars Remake

In June of 1977, Jim, John, and Gary saw Star Wars at White City Cinema in Worcester, Massachusetts. They were impressed. In the months ... all » after seeing the movie, so many costumes and models were made that they decided to remake a few scenes on super 8 film. The project grew into a fifty minute film.

Directed by Jim Jongsma, John Jongsma and Gary Baker, this Star Wars Remake must be the grandfather of sweding. The project was started in the 70s and filmed using 8mm film. There's even a website with production photos and info. The entire film can also be downloaded from the site. The only drawback is that the flick has no sound.

Lord of the Rings: Sweded!

Part 1: The Fellowship begins with the discovery of the ring of power. Grand treks and shocking betrayals await our party. Wise counsel is given and at long last, the gates to khazad-dum! But are these gates unguarded?

Part 2: Our intrepid heroes fight their way through the mines of Moria, encountering various creatures along the way. Sacrifices are made and choices choosed...along the road to Gondor.

This is great stuff! Check out the title scene. I think it used a cutout board backlighted in red with smoke effects. Also don't miss the horse chase scene and the monster that rivals the Cloverfield one. The video was uploaded by TheRegent76. The video is also at danielloyd.com. Directed by Daniel Loyd.

Update: I sent a message to the creator of this flick, Daniel Loyd, and asked for additional info and here's his reply:

I'm the director and the writers are Michael Leffler and Michael Shaw, both writer actors for G4TV. We're all based in Los Angeles and we're inspired to do the spoof by the film 'bekind rewind', coming out soon. We tried to make it as good as we could, while working within the limitations of 'what we could make, or find, or cheaply purchase around town'. We tried to get back into the mindset of friends doing this for fun back in school. We spent 3 weeks in preproduction, making costumes and props, scouting locations and finalizing the script. (our script, and planning used the open-source program Celtx, and our project with all the detail is featured on pc.celtx.com). We shot it over a saturday and sunday last december. First shooting in Bronson Canyon, LA. Then moving to a canyon in the Pacific Palisades because we we're kicked out of Bronson! (permits...). Sunday we shot all interiors and Elrond's council at my friend Wendy's house (she was VERY nice to let us take over). Post production was on Final Cut Pro, and took the next three days. Since we posted it on youtube/myspace and facebook, it's done very well and we're incredibly happy with everyone's response!
