Avatar: The Last of the Airbenders - Part One | Fan Film | JNJ Studios 

It's been such a ride working on this project and helping out with the Particle Simulations, I also rendered the fire assets for BigFilms. So for those interested in joining the project for part two, I actually have a series of After Effects tutorials teaching you how to create these types of Avatar Bending FX in Trapcode Particular!

Nvee is such a great actress I hope she can get more parts in projects ! Her emotion 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Nvee's acting is so great, you can really feel her empathy and kindness!!

Nvee from Blackswan 😀

I never thought a fan film could be better than the official movie.

Congrats guys! Congrats to Nvee!!!!

Nveee of blackswan 😍😍

Ohh it’s Nvee from Blackswan at 11:07 🥰♥️

Found this because of Nvee but i also love Avatar in general 🔥🔥

For the Luminas, NVee appears at 11:07 🖤🦢

NVee part starts from 11:06

It's hard to believe this is fanmade. The cinematography and special effects are amazing!! You guys should definitely be proud; you did a great job!!

So much emotion here. 😭 I could feel all the grief, fear, loneliness Jonin is feeling and no words were needed to convey that. I really got the sense that he is merely surviving but not truly living in the here and now of the story because he's still "living" in the moment of the genocide. Looking forward to seeing the rest. 🌪🔥

how many of you guys here for nvee ?

This was one of the best fan films I’ve ever seen. Actually made me care about the Characters and got me excited for part 2! I can’t wait for part 2!

Im here for my baby Nvee from blackswan ❤❤❤❤

Nveeeee

11:07 NVEE????

It was an honor working with you guys ! I really enjoyed this project and I'm so grateful that I had the chance to be part of this journey :) Can't wait for part 2! ❤

Okay this was such an incredible first part. It was so cinematic and emotive. Even though they didn't speak much and there wasn't much action I found myself swept up in the emotion of the scene. You could really feel Jonin's grief and anxiety - seriously such a good job. Can't wait for Part 2!

Literally THE BEST fan film that I have ever seen by far. When I say my jaw dropped at the opening scene, I mean it hit the floor. I only ever dream of being able to create films like this. Even the teaser shots at the end had me drooling. All my love and support goes to all those who made this film exist. I will be sure to be there the second any new content drops. Sincerely, your new biggest fan ❤

This is oscar academy award winning film in the 80's bruh! That's how good it is.

No one is talking about the sound designer

The twin fire daggers were a nice touch!

Please, please... don't wait too long... That's my favorite movie ever...

Never imagined that a fan made movie would be waaay better than the actual movie released in theaters now 💯🔥.... Keep up the good work 🙏💯

It’s actually quite sad and pathetic that hard core fans of the show can make a better adaptation than a studio. Hell, I’m surprised that Netflix has not hired you for their adaptation. WAIT?! WHAT?! What I am even talking about?! There is no movie here in Ba Sing Se, right?! 2024 update: Is anyone one here after the official trailer for the Netflix adaptation?

This film Amazing 🔥🔥

Wauw thank you! I love it. Greetings from Amsterdam please more more more

I absolutely loved this, I believe that this really captures a lot of the essence of what makes ATLA great partially minus the humor (which is totally ok) but I don't think by any means it's a "dark take" but I think it really tackles the emotional feelings that 1 would have having experience the show once before, I encourage everyone who's a fan of this to tweet at Janet Varney & Dante Basco or anyone else involved in the ATLA Universe to bring this to their attention and hopefully they appreciated It as much as us fans do or retweet it to give them more support for their films.

Nvee ❤

I teared up at the end!

When fans do it better than the movie that shall not be named ❤

Oh my god. This is amazing. The way you guys managed to capture to rawness of the genocide, and the fear and cruelty. Can't wait for the second part. Damn, Brian and Michael should make this canon, it's way too good. Wish you all the best, cheers from Uruguay!

Huge inspiration to all filmmakers and fans of ATLA! Can't wait for part 2

This fan clip is Better then the movie. Big, huge thumbs up 👍 and 👏

That cliffhanger tho… great work!

2:30 iTs tHe qUenChiEsT

I love the Buddhist, Hindu, and Aboriginal, Inuit philosophies that this shoe is based on. The word Avatar is a Sanskrit word meaning, manifestation, "reincarnation", and or projection. Easter's philosophy is underrated as the concept of "Maya" which means this existence is a dream state until we wake up. Hope this show acknowledges ancient wisdom.

I hope this pushes the Netflix one that was supposed to come out ages ago to be done

***EVERYONE STAY CALM***

This is done so beautifully to the point it unbelievable that it's fan made...

That guy has seen some things!!

Beautiful everything! The music was 👌 . You are brave souls to attempt to tell such a huge story. 😍😍😍

OMG I CANT WAIT!!! I remember being super excited when you guys started making it on TikTok and now it’s finally here!!!!😆

This is highly professional and contains so much nuanced emotions and symbolism in the story's visual framework.

man this need to get more views for upcoming projects

The concept is amazing. Capturing the horror of Genocide and perspective of ordinary helpless human trying to survive. I wish netflix funded this instead of recreating ATLA. Let masterpiece be masterpiece. Avatar universe has so much to explore and this project is the prove

this looks AMAZING!

This is better than the actual movie yoo so good

Incredible work JNJ. You guys are amazing, it was a such pleasure to work on this with you!! 🎻🎶Bravo!!

This is incredible!!! The music, the effects, the acting!!! I love it!!!

Best live action version of Avatar ever! 🙌🙌

Nvee💕

awesomeeee!! congratulations guys!

I love the algorithm sometimes! This was a great take on the fantastic series.

This is severely underrated🤧

This was amazing!!! Gotta thank Nvee for sharing this!!!!

YAYAYAYYAY!!! So happy this is finally out

❤❤❤❤

Even though that its only fanmade....its already ten times better then the liveaction hollywood made version. Great work!!!

Amazing Avatar movie..👏👏👍👍👍😍

Bro I’m And So Excited!! I Can Already Tell This Is Going To Be AWSOME!!

This is absolutely amazing, I honestly believe that you guys captured a lot of the essence of what made A:TLA great & fits well in LA even though it might be interpreted as serious or dark I still think there's a lot of room for levity & comedy, I also think it is/could be on par with Netflix's LA A:TLA. I think you guys are doing a great job and I'm gonna be tweeting directly to Dante Basco & Janet Varney who voiced Korra & Zuko respectively and host the Braving the Elements Podcast

This girl reminds me of Katara. Looks just like her. Well done!

I really liked this, maybe you should consider entering it in the Fan Film Director’s Choice Awards

After 1 year waiting finally it's here!

Bruh this is so underrated, I'll try and share to as many pple as I can

Just imagine if the live-action series is gonna be like this!

I'm late to the party but at least we won't have to wait so long to see part two! I like seeing NVee act. It'd be cool if she were allowed to do an OST for it too but that might be tricky. 😅

Way better then the Hollywood movie

Great film….I can’t wait for part II. I also subscribed.

This is so well done, it's nice to see how characters other than the avatar and his friends live during the war 😊

Amazing!!

I need for part 2 I can't wait for part 2

Simply AWESOME and well made. Thank you!!! I pray you get the funding you need to keep going.

Love the episodes. I need more seasons please. Truly award-winning

The insurgence is cool

Wow this was epic! RIP Netflix Avatar lol

This is a resume on film and I hope every one involved gets funding to do whatever they want creatively !! Beautiful work.

IT’S COMING OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY WOOOOO 🎉 let’s go Airbenders

I thought the video would be mildly entertaining but in no way was I expecting this!! Wow! Well done. Hard to believe this is your typical fan made fare because the quality of the video is fantastic! You have a future in film if you’re not already making millions of your talent.

Got to admit love how that they don’t have whit washed characters and it has a good story unlike the last air bender I love it when people make their own version of a popular franchise or movie and make it way better

Wow! This is really exciting! I... wish I could be a part of working on this 😮😭

I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT! IT'S THE MOST GORGEOUS FAN MADE MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN 🤩🎉

I love this movie concept ❤

This is beyond masterful! Such well-thoughtout storytelling in so many scenes with hardly much dialogue and setup for the next installment; you and the team are true fans of the source material! To see how much care and attention to detail you guys have been just in this segment alone is staggering! I like that this takes place in the time between the genocide and the main series too, giving reference to what we know and shedding some light on what came before the show we enjoy. Plus, it gives depth to the airbenders by seeing how things were impacted right after that attack on the air temple(s) too by seeing it through a survivor's eyes living on bare minimum. I can only hope the creators of ATLA have/will see this and be as amazed as we are! I look forward to seeing Part 2 soon!

I can’t believe he just left that cactus juice. That shit will quench ya it’s the quenchiest

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

That's amazing 😍😍😍😍😍. Big love from Pakistan 😍😍😍😍😍😍

this is AWESOME

I’ll try to give some of my thoughts in a short review/first impressions. Cinematically speaking this was beautiful. Perhaps even overdone at certain points as they are beautiful shots for sure but at times interrupting the established pacing. There are certain shots here that don’t really add anything to the table. I think it might be a good idea to be more critical of what’s shown. All and all though, massive respect for the visuals. It’s not easy to acquire the ‘professional’ look you’d see on big budget productions but these visuals compare well enough. Moving on to the music and soundwork. I was seriously impressed by these as well. The music stays truthful to the ATLA universe with some creative freedom here and there. Some SFX that stood out to me were the impact sounds. This can be heard at 15:42 for example. Sounds fit great with the movement and this is a great example of that. Something I didn’t like as much was the music playing at 11:45. I felt like the flow and subject of the conversation didn’t match the eerie sounding music. The music felt like a threat was nearby, though that wasn’t the case. Even though this is subjective, I still felt the need to address it. Something short, fan-made films suffer from the most, is cheesy acting. Well, I’m glad to say the acting was quite good! Nothing spectacular, but gracefully done in the scope of the project. The writing was a mixed bag, some good some less good. Some parts felt like characters were exchanging sentences instead of having a conversation. What I’m saying is, it could feel less robotic. Overall though, the actors really pulled me in. Good stuff! There’s one thing which I think this first part is lacking, and that would be continuity. Most notably for me in the color grading department. I can tell more cameras were used. I’m not sure if both cameras are using different picture profiles but it seems like that is the case. Shot from 10:28 = blueish tints. Shot from 10:31 = greenish tints. This happens multiple times throughout the film, and can be especially jarring when suddenly jumping to a different area with a completely new colour palette. There’s some small continuity errors like the transition between shots at 14:35 to 14:38. It seems they are either A) just starting to walk, or B) not walking at the same speed as the shot before which creates an awkward transition. About a minute later, at 15:14 the camera is a little too shaky given there is no action going on. It seems to be the only shot having the shake, and is therefore lacking continuity. It’s nitpicking really, but I hope some of the stuff I said hasn’t been spotted by the team and can be improved on for the next part. Once again, massive props to everyone who worked on this.

VFX was top notch, suggestion to the costume team on the hems and use accessories (beads, jewelry etc) to add 'Spice'.

Nvee the actress ❤❤❤

NOOOO WAY!!!! This was SO GOOD!!!!

Really Great Work....i can understand how long it takes to create such a good product...love it 😊

This is almost everything I've ever wanted from a story about the air nomad genocide, amazing work

I giggled a lot when I saw the cabbage man lol

I knowwwww th3y didn't just kill the cabbage merchant!!!!!

Siiiiick
