dalmer Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hello there, My apologies if this has already been posted... I looked and didn't see it. It's a clip of an independent 40k short film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bgi5STRe8E 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Very nicely done, especially for a fan film. The use of lighting (or rather of darkness) really helps disguise the low budget. The only things I can even begin to think to criticize are incredible pedantic nit-picks. The lascarbine and the bolt pistol both have the wrong sound effects, but that's typical of every adaptation of WH40k (up to and including some of GW's own books) and the Angels of Vengeance Sergeant is missing his company badge and squad number... But, hell, once again this is something GW themselves frequently gets wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 There's a bit more detail on the video at https://www.polygon.com/videos/2018/10/11/17964510/warhammer-40k-fan-film-live-action-guardsman-helsreach. It's less a fan-film than a pro hobby project... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Well, industry professionals can be fans of stuff too. I mean, look at Star Trek Continues, it’s a series of “fan film” Star Trek episodes that has actual writers from the franchise writing some episodes, actual directors from the franchise directing some episodes, and actual actors from the franchise in some episodes... Sometimes playing the same characters! (And it’s more enjoyable and far better at being true to Star Trek than anything Paramount has officially made in decades.)
