Some of these fan films I'm watching are absolutely beautiful. I think tbis one may be the best I've seen. Just the feel of it. Beautiful. I am curious about why the directorial choice to change their names however.
After noticing the desctiption I have to say I have 0 issues for indeed Cirdan was a great elf and had a great beard. But what I had a bit of an issue is that the Ranger wasn't given a proper name and continuety wise how despite Deren being obviously still alive after the dragon fight nobody bothered to give the man a hand lol,or...well he isn't but it still wasn't potrayed it a way that it made it certain he died. Great film, strange how it only came to my attention so many years after its release.
It's very difficult to make a decent fantasy film with a small budget. Your film is one of the few good movies inspired by Tolkien's works, especially in acting and characters aspect. I hope, you will make more short films.
Exquisite. Every aspect of this is beautifully done! Complements on the writing, which helped make this authentic and compelling. The care taken shows in all the visuals, acting, music, animation, cinematography, and editing. Love it.
Bravo. Your adaptation to screenplay is better than box office. I think you would/will have done(do) his works beautiful justice. You have great taste in what to cut and what to hone in on. Opulent minimalism indeed. ♡
