  • This is the first installment of three of the world's biggest Star Wars fan film!
    More than 400 volunteers have actively contributed to the completion of the work that was produced for less than 1% of the budget of a single episode of "The Mandalorian"!
    April 3rd of 2017 was the first enquiry for crew members for the Test Scene ( • Shrouded Destiny: A St... ) that was released on July 5th of 2018.
    More than 30 volunteers helped create that work, which convinced the myriad of people to join for the bigger episode!
    A trailer was released on May 4th of 2020 ( • Shrouded Destiny: A St... ) during the beginning of the Pandemic and from then on, it was a long and grueling reshuffling of the post production effort that stretched over more than 2½ years.
    Leave your thoughts and comments below. The episode lives through the engagement you produce.
    Thank you to all of the fans who have followed the journey of Shrouded Destiny for so long.
    We hope to make many more fans along the way!
    Please watch the credits until the end. There's no post-credits scene or anything, but these people have worked with great diligence and conviction in quite uncertain times for a dream. Let their names be seen. And the music heard.
    This work is in no way shape or form affiliated to Disney or Lucasfilm. This is a non-profit fan film made for the Star Wars fans of the world!
    With love,
    Shahbaz Sarwar & the global Shrouded Destiny team!

      Gun Kata had too short a life span in film and that's a bloody shame.
      Joon (of JP Stunts) and I were discussing how we could make blaster bolt fights different and more intriguing and this was one of my great desires to bring to a universe with colorful blaster fire, since I'm a BIG Equilibrium fan. :-)
      A lot of effort was put into having light spill on the characters and surroundings, so it looked as real as possible, knowing that it is quite a fantastical style to bring in to a story that's trying to be as grounded as possible.
      But it IS Star Wars. We gotta have some spectacle, right?

    • @SarwarsStarwars
      @SarwarsStarwars  Před rokem +1

      That's very kind of you to say! Ironically, one of the many reasons for making this film was one small desire that this could lead to more work on film and television, but I feel that Part II truly makes the performance more nuanced and complete.
      Tulek's stakes in the episode keep him from expressing too much emotion as he's trying to hide his intent from Okana for as long as possible, which meant having to break the episode into three was especially egregious, but my own ambitions put aside, it was important to have all the other people's work shine and I am happy that people are responding well to the plethora of other great things that the episode was blessed with. :-)

    OKAY, this the Star Wars spirit I missed so dearly for the late Star Wars fan films. This has the same magic, I felt in the late 2000's fan films, where the creators actually had a vision - not just a random forest, with a short film story. You have original characters; you managed to introduce your characters mostly throung conversation, but the visuals were still dope. And you clearly knew how to make a film. I belive when a cinematographer is also a Star Wars fan, its a very special, maybe the most special achivement, when he is able to make his own Star Wars film. This is definitely shows how enthusiastic you were about it. The costums were neat - sometimes they had some Star Trek vibe, but after the late Star Wars shows. I was happy I had some aliens . And Mr. Mikkelsen really pleases us, Star Wars fans, for showing up in a fan made production, despite being such a big star! And his acting was so on spot!
    I really wish to see the second part asap : D keep up the good work, and I hope you had a wonderfol time creating it!

    • @SarwarsStarwars
      @SarwarsStarwars  Před rokem +3

      Thank you, Larion, for your astute observations!
      One of my main focuses for locations was: NO FORESTS! :-D
      Exactly for the reason mentioned by you.
      And since most of the people involved actually work in the film industry, it really helped elevate the quality of the final output.
      With the budget just around 1% of a single episode of "The Mandalorian", I'll gladly take "Star Trek vibe"! :-D
      The character of Okana Vidai was specifically written for Lars Mikkelsen, so it did feel like a natural fit for him to portray him. And yes, he's beyond awesome for agreeing to work for 8 days for $0, because he believed in me and the project. A life changing moment for me and the project itself when he confirmed his participation.
      About it being a wonderful time... Honestly, a lot of it was really grueling. Especially post production, because there were SO many rejections. Having reached out personally to app. 5000 VFX-artists over the course of two years... looking at the number I had for the episode, you can figure out the math of the big pile of rejections, right? :-D
      But I was blessed with enough yeses to move forward and here we are: 4½ years after having made the "call-to-arms".
      Hopefully, we'll garner more views, likes and comments that will help push this work out to the world, so it'll be an easier task for me to convince VFX-artists that working on Part II won't be a waste of time.
      But for now, I'm just gonna focus on enjoying this small victory. To have my words reverberate in audiences around the world, one small step at a time. :-)

      Its is very suprising that Mr. Mikkelsen agreed to work with freely, for 8 days. I was beliving, that the shoot with him only lasted like 2-3 days, but thats incredible!
      About the marketing, maybe you should make a different thumbnail for the Fan film. Since at least hundred - mostly very low quality - fan film drops monthly on CZcams, maybe you should make a thumbnail that stands out; and more click will come. There are also some reaction creators, to who you might can adress this work, and it will spread.
      After such a great start, I hope you can follow this fan film, and it wont take another 4 years :D
      PS: I would really love to see some Behind the Scenes footage released :D It would be really educational!

    • @SarwarsStarwars
      @SarwarsStarwars  Před rokem +2

      Well, initially he only agreed to do "a week". Which he meant as a "work week" and I understood it as a calendar week. :-D
      But due to some scheduling issues with the shoot, he did six days and then said that he'd be willing to come back at a later time to do the remaining scenes, so we got two more days. :-)
      We've changed the thumbnail to something with Lars Mikkelsen on it. :-) It was a good idea!
      I've contacted a handful, but most have not shown interest, unfortunately, which surprised me, since... it just really seemed to be something they'd be into. Oh well. Maybe later in the future.
      There are two BTS videos from earlier on the channel. :-)

      Thank you, Steven, for watching!
      The more views, likes, comments, engagement we get, the faster we can build up a huge audience and make Part II happen as well!
      So thank you for contributing to the continuation of this series! :-)

    This is so impressive!!! Blown away by the production value 🙌 love that real costumes and such were used rather than all greenscreen 🙏

    Worth the wait! Congrats to everyone involved. One of the best SW fan films out there for sure. Glad there was more of a focus on characters and dialogue than just simple thrills and action to pad out the run time. While that's always been a great part of star wars, the characters and story have always been the beating heart of the franchise and I'm glad this kept true to that. Hope to see more unfold in the future! Thanks for all the hard work. 🙏

      Thank you so much for being patient with us and sharing your thoughts on our work!
      My entire goal was to bring the storytelling and characters front and center and I feel that a lot of the commenters are responding positively to that.
      Well, if you subscribe to the channel, you'll be amongst the first people to know, when Part II comes out! :-)
