[edit] Votes for Deletion consensus

This article was nominated for deletion on 2005-05-29. The result of the discussion was keep.

Note: Starwars.com and TheForce.net use "Fan film" as two words. See here for evidence. - Dr Haggis - Talk 18:29, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

OK, I'll leave it at that, then. Thanks. QuantumAdam 18:31, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Addition: Added C2F Cinema, which is clearly another internet fanfilm source. Extended fanfilms.com description, as they host other films as well.. as seen here. --GrgurMG 11:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Very expensive?

I deleted the statement "Fan films are very expensive to produce" because the phrase "very expensive" is only meaningful when the cost of something is (at least implicitly) compared to the cost of something else ... and fan films are inexpensive compared to the films they are inspired by. --Metropolitan90 09:47, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Production types

I'd like to see some mention of describing fan films by method of production ...

• Live action
  • Costumes, scenery
  • CGI effects, Chromakeying (Greenscreen)
• Virtual reality
  • Stop motion eg Lego Brick movies
  • Machinima incl. Sim Movies
  • CGI animation incl. Anim8r, Blender, Lightwave ...
    

The reason I bring it up in talk first is because it might be stretching the bounds of the definition of a fan film. Is a Sim movie a fan film? It is video created by fans. --Kirok 01:48, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

Hello there. I notice a lot of links have recently been deleted on this page. I'm the director of one of the films for which a link was deleted, so I admit I have a vested interest in this, but I'd like to appeal against the deletion. The Movie: Yeah No Yeah No was the winner of the [[Red Dwarf]] fan film competition, and was released on the Series VII DVD in Regions 1, 2 and 4. That DVD has sold hundreds of thousands worldwide. So yes, the link may be to self-published material, but non-notable? As the article says itself: "among the first fan films to be commercially released by a property's original creators". If the film is referred to in the article, surely it deserves a link? --IanIanSymes 19:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

This article is about fan films in general, not about specific fan films. A link to your site would be acceptable in an article about your film, but not here. Mushroom (Talk) 20:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
