The Star Wars online film project has finally arrived online. ‘Star Wars Uncut: The Director’s Cut,’ features 473 15-second clips submitted by fans and hand-picked by director/web developer Casey Pugh.
Pugh started the website StarwarsUncut.com as a means to explore the internet “as a tool for crowdsourcing user content” (StarwarsUncut.com). As an experiment in 2009, Pugh posted a version of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (a.k.a. Star Wars) broken up in to tiny clips. Pugh then asked fans to submit their 15-second version of the clips using any medium or style they chose. It could be animated, live-action, stop-motion, stick-figure, tweets, posts…or whatever else fans could imagine. Pugh sifted through the best and most creative clips; resulting in a 100% fan-made remake of the full-length Star Wars: Episode IV film. In 2010, the project even won a Primetime Emmy® for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media, all thanks to the crowd-sourced creativity of Star Wars fanatics.
Watch the full-length fan-made film ‘Star Wars Uncut: The Director’s Cut' (see left-hand column). Visit www.starwarsuncut.com for the 15-second clips that did not make it in the film, and new creations from fans submitted daily.
