Today is the 1 Year Anniversary of the premiere of Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie. The first public screening was on July 21, 2014 at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. It was an epic night for all of us.
Here, for the first time on RU-vid, is the special effects documentary from the Blu-ray/DVD. It shows the creative process behind the practical effects in the film.
Most of the film was shot in the Los Angeles area, inside studios and exterior locations which all required expensive permits. We also worked with union cast and union crew members. It was a big production, but ironically, many of the effects were done with a small local crew, Cinemassacre-style, after I returned home to the East Coast.
Enjoy this documentary, which only gives a small glimpse at the making of the film. There is so much more to it. I plan to release more videos like this, over time.

I thought the movie was just kind of OK, but it's still amazing to see and hear how much work and effort was actually put into it. I've always been a big fan of practical effects, so seeing how everything was made, is always super interesting.

@wilhelmsceam6969 9 лет назад

Yeah the film is definitely worth watching for the effects.

@MarcLovallo 9 лет назад

I don't get all the hate for the movie. I thought it was really refreshing. The visual effects have that Cinemassacre charm, but are also impressively practical. The story was very well told, and always kept moving forward. I could tell that a lot of hard work and dedication was put into making the movie, and I hope it inspires up and coming filmmakers to tell the stories they want to tell without Hollywood getting their fingerprints all over them.

SuperSmash3DS They were expecting something flawless and Hollywood level of style... bullshit. I enjoyed the movie, and had no hesitation about spending £30 or so on the Blu-ray. Is it one of the best movies out there? No. Not a long shot. But it's still an enjoyable movie

@52Tmacfan 9 лет назад

It was alright. The problem for me was that I could care less about 2 new characters. It should have been Mike or Kyle. Someone fans recognize. I would probably never have the urge to watch it again. Been keeping up with avgn since the early, early reviews...but this film simply did nothing for me. The ET review at the end was the best part for me. Still love the new reviews and the Board James plot right now is fucking excellent. Also anything where James and Mike talk about old games or old films.

@feckafeck1 9 лет назад

CDWatk I disagree, it was completely the opposite to what I was expecting. The movie had none of the charm and humour of the series and was over ambitious. It was disjointed and there was way too many ideas but most importantly it wasn't that funny. If it was funny you could forgive most of its failings. I look forward to any new film James has in mind, now that he's learned so much about the mechanics of film making he could concentrate on a better script. Im not saying the film was bad, it was just really average. James has to be commended for he's work ethic and ambition.

@yourmomsboyfriend3337 9 лет назад

You did it James! You finally made your movie. You used those child skills to make everything look good. You had amazing camera shots, dozens of locations, props upon props and many different actors. I've never seen so many story elements in one film! You introduced the main character through an AWESOME intro, built up the story, and had love at the end just like any good ole Hollywood film these days. Don't pay attention to these silly comments, I'd like to see them get as far as you have, because frankly, I can't even get a good camera shot when I used to film. I can't wait to see what you will produce in the future :)

I feel like James Rolfe could be like an Adam Sandler kind of guy. Not out to make anything groundbreaking or critically-acclaimed but just have fun making rich kid's school project films with his friends and get some laughs out of people, only James Rolfe would probably add more substance with his films.

I'm really not sure what people were expecting with a AVGN movie, I find it hard to believe that anyone that was disappointed with the AVGN movie have even watched more that 3 episodes of the show. It was such a great tribute to the old style of visual effects, this is a type of movie you wont see ever again in the future. So I guess have fun with your transformers visual diarrhea movies if you didn't like it

That was more interesting that the film. I really like AVGN but it was misplaced to use it in this way. I get all the special effects and b-movie love, I like it myself. But the problem for me was the cast and story, it gave us a bunch of characters outside of the nerd that we didn't give a shit about. It took me 5 attempts to watch the film all the way through it really did bore me to tears.

It is really inspiring how much effort love and soul went to this production! I have to say I am on the side which thinks the movie is not as good as everyone expected it to be, that especially sad seeing how hard they worked on this, I can't ignore the problems the movie has but still appreciate people who really tried making a good Movie for the Fans, this is by no means and no one can tell me that a "Bad" Movie but it is still not enough the reach the realms of a "good" movie, but I am looking forward, none of us could do such a great production in this scale I think James and the others will grow throughout this and maybe we see another big movie from James, doesn't even have to be AVGN since I think it would be better for him having a break from that and focus on something else maybe, but that's just my humble opinion, I hope many if you enjoyed the movie
