I wasn't quite sure if this belonged in the Movies thread or not...so I'll just be playing it safe and putting it here.
As an aspiring film maker myself, and (admittedly mediocre) creator of fan films, I felt that a thread appreciating all of the hard work that goes into movie making without a budget was deserving of creation. Much following the format of Random's internet cartoon's thread, this is just a place to post your favorite examples of Amature film making.
Some of my personal favorites have always included This fan-made trailer for a fictitious Metal Gear Solid movie, which, as far as I know, never went into production, and is just for fun. Of course, this trailer for a full-length Zelda movie, that kind of fell through at some point in the development phase, is still visually stunning, though Link looks very stupid (I can't imagine anyone actually dressing that way and looking cool. The best Batman themed ones that I have ever seen have been Grayson and Batman: Dead End, though everything on Bat in the Sun is worth checking out. This Batman/Superman is very impressive, and you have to wonder where they got the money for this, and if it's ever going to be more than a trailer. I've always loved Ultimate Eye for the Vertigo Guy and find it to be the funniest attempt at comicbook-based humor on the internet.
I believe it was Planet-man who originally posted Superman Reborn, which is a marvel of amature video editing and the other day Random introduced me to Blinky Productions, who have several short films that every Superhero enthusiast should watch. fanfilms.net hosts a variety of films that range from abysmal to brilliant.
Now, when watching these, I think it's important for everyone to remember that they have been spoiled by hollywood; most of these guys have little to no budget and do not plan on making any sort of profit out of this. They're doing this for fun. I'm not asking you to love all of this, but just to be fair in any criticism you plan on dishing out. Of course, any contributions would be welcome.
