Fan-Films | Sketchbook Page


So, I bet you're wondering:
What are fan-films? Fan-films are films that are made about an already existing character made by someone else (or a company). They are made by fans, for fans, and are always non-profit and for the love of whatever character it is about. (I actually work on my own, but this isn't about me).

Some examples of Fan-Films: Spider-Man: Lost Cause, Bat in the Sun's Super Powered Beat Downs, and the Nightwing series by ismahawk are all very good examples of fan-films.

SPIDER-MAN: LOST CAUSE
Spider-Man: Lost Cause is a full length fan-film, clocking in at 2 hours and 22 minutes (same length as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, actually) and it has one of the highest production values of any fan-film ever since it's the first of it's kind being full length and without a real budget.
The story follows the origin story of Peter Parker, or Spider-Man, in his search for his Uncle Ben's killer. The story is heavily inspired by the Ultimate Spider-Man comic line in terms of the story of the villains and of how Spider-Man came to be.

BAT IN THE SUN

Bat in the Sun is a YouTube web series that is based all around movies, comics, and the other mediums involved with these characters. They have a small show that comes out every once in a while called "Super Powered Beat Down" where they have any two characters face off against each other. They've had Batman v Darth Vader, Deadpool and Domino v The Joker and Harley Quinn, Spider-Man v Darth Maul, and many more. They're very well known around the internet as they look very high quality, especially for a web series.

NIGHTWING: THE SERIES
Nightwing: The Series is a fan series that revolves around Nightwing, a former Robin that has gone solo from his mentor, Batman. The story follows him on his first real crime-fighting adventure against the villainous Deathstroke, a powerful mercenary.
The show had a kickstarter that backed it for a while, and powered the whole series and all the equipment that they used. They currently are working on other projects but they also have a second season in the works.
