you could have made a film based on the a
appendix: the disaster in the gladden fields. 😅
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 👏🔥
Thank you! Yes the fandom is amazing ;)
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.
Thank you! yes we had an amazing team out there, putting this together:=
‘*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.
@@richardgere4713 I was exactly thinking about the recent "work" you mentioned while writing my comment. You are so damn right.
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.
I agree about the locations !
Thank you so so much🥰
@@lars9374 your more than welcome bro. Are you going to be doing anymore?
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.
Thank you so much for your commitment and hard work to make this dream come to life!
you, and the others i n the film represent the heroes we NEED.
Great job!
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!
Thank you so much, really appreciated! What did you like the most about it?
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.
Thank you!
I am proud to be a part of this great project. Thank you guys.
Thank you so much for your passion and engagement!
the score is really beautiful!
Yes, the score is by the amazing Céline Fankhauser;=
an absolute phenomenal job on this, good job to all those who worked hard on this project. All very talented.
Thank you! Yes there was an amazing team behind this;=
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!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
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.
Thank you!
this deserves way more views and likes!!!!!
Thanks!!
Wow. What a pleasant surprise. Beautiful.
Fantastisch zu sehen, wie man aus Leidenschaft viel machen kann.
Ja, mit einem grossartigen Team ist fast alles möglich!
I'm so impressed with the scenery!
Just started watching. The art at the beginning is exceptional.
This is fantastic , and I say that as a life long , ready the books twice a year for the last 38 years , Tolkien nerd
The best LOTR Fan-Film out there!!
Thank you, really appreciated!
it has been an honor to be part of this awesome project. The result is stunning! 💪🥳
Thank you for your commitment and hard work - with that you made this project possible!
reaching 10K views!
Yiihaa
Amazing job! ❤️
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you for this movie!
We fans are in need of someone who truly appreciates Tolkien's work.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Proper fanfiction that even puts Amazon garbage to shame with a literal tiny fraction of the budget
Nice work
So well done. Well-balanced indeed. Costumes, music, and landscape all feel so real and part of Middle Earth
Thank you so much!
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?
This was an excellent film. Thank you.
The Narration at the beginning gave me Lotr Bfme vibes
What a master piece 👏 great job !
Thank you for your kind words!
Great work and great actors - definitely a must to watch for all epic movie fans!
Besser als Ringe der Macht
Thank you for this film !
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.
Thanks for your feedback!
You had me glued to the screen and rooting for the brave young soldier! Wow, well done! 👍👍👍
Stumbling on it now, after I rewached "The Horn of Gondor" and saw a recommendation by CZcams. 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;)
Much better than the Amazon crap
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.
Thank you so much! We worked more than 4 years on it so it means a lot to us🥹
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! 🥳🤩
Thank you!
17:03 those were some excellent scenic shots!
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!!
Amazing if there will be one can’t wait for a next movie👀
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)))
Thank you so much for your kind words! Means a lot to us.
Brilliant film
You deserve more views
Well done!👏👏👏👏👏👏
A very great Production. So strong and so good👍👍👍😁
Have all a nice time
Nice!
Thanks!
This proves that money is not what makes a movie good but love and efford.
Just AMAZIG!
Love it. Thanks.
Holy crap was this bad.
The only thing missing when Erkenbrand said "deliver the message to the king" was him starting it with "oh, by the way," it was so matter-of-fact and stress-free.
Ich bin unglaublich stolz uf mini Brüädere🥰sensationell was ihr da eimal meh uf d bei gstellt händ!🤩🥳
Useme Hobby wird so äs erfolgrichs projäkt😃
Merciii viu mauu!
Great work!

Im from germany and my english isn't so good but it was the best decision to much the masterful Film 👌🔥
Thank you so much for your kind words ;)
This is a masterpiece of fan activity on a par with "Half a Century of poetry Later" in the Witcher universe. Music, scenic views, costumes, how the Lord of the Rings feels in all this. We are waiting for Russian and Ukrainian subtitles so that my countrymen can fully enjoy this miracle❤❤❤
Thank you so much! We're on it... but hard to find;)
Well done everybody!!! Can't wait to see what the future holds for you guys.
Thank you!
Amazing work guys, absolutely loving this 👏

Great effort!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you all
Loved seeing how much you put into this project
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!
Yes thanks! We only had a few days for the grade, which is way to less but thanks anyways!!
Beautiful fan film. I love the passion behind this. Bravo to everyone involved 👏
Thank you;)
Awesome movie🎉
Thank you!
@good work friends, greedings from greece 🇬🇷.
It was a great film, I just didn't understand the ending. He literally got stabbed from front to back, so I assumed he died. Then people (of which 1 really looked like Éomer, so if you wanted to represent him, you did a great job) came to save him, and he is suddenly alive. Maybe you could've made that ending a bit clearer, but the rest of the fim was really nice. For a fan film you did a great job at the Orcs, and the fighting also wasn't that bad. Thanks for this!
Thank you! Maybe he just dreamed it? Or maybe not? A least breath?
@@lymbus_agency yea maybe
Switzerland is Middle Earth 😀
Well done, beautiful. Thank you!
Where was Gondor???
Wow, the music. I got chills for at least 3 times… great job to the composer!! 🎵
You can listen to the album on all platforms: "Battles of the Fords of Isen"
very well done !!
Hender super gmachd!!
Really good job was done here 💪🏻 🖤 stunning!
Mega hammer gemacht😍😍😍
Looks great! Love the passion!
Невероятно как люди горят своим делом🔥 Очень круто з
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🙂
Great vid
congrats! well done!
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!
