KENOBI - A Star Wars Fan Film

Master. Help me. Why won't you answer? How long are you going to keep this up? You know you watching over that boy is more of a threat than anything. If anyone knew you were here. You think you're protecting him? You're putting him in danger, Ben. And not just him. Owen... No one knows I'm here. They will. And they may not be able to connect the boy to you, but they can definitely connect you to him. You can't avoid the Empire the rest of your life. The Empire doesn't know we're here. And they never will. You're as foolish as your dead religion. It was just announced that the Empire is in the Outer Rim. The last transport leaves tonight. For Luke's sake... I hope you're on it. Qui-Gon: It is not the time Please... *Tusken Raider grunts* *Cries out in celebration* Droid, no. I need you to scan this one. No, you're incorrect. Scan it again. Luke! Luke! Can you help me find something? Owen? Huh? Troop transport. Stormtroopers. I knew it. Hide the boy. Lars. Owen and Beru. Greetings, On behalf of the Empire. That's right, it's just Owen and I. Just the two of you? You farm this land all alone? That seems a bit much. It is, but it keeps us busy. A lot of late nights. I understand. What is the point of all of this? A census? We never had that before. It's for your own protection, I assure you. It's important to know who's coming and who's going. We don't need an Emperor out here, we're doing just fine. Oh, careful. We don't need your protection. Of course you don't. Until you do... Sir, found something. Don't shoot, he's just a child! Now, I thought you said it was just the two of you. Who is he? Uh, he's... He's a... Let's see some identification. You don't need to see their identification. Hello there. Hello there... ? Who are you? I'm the boy's uncle. Ran off on me again. Getting too big for me to keep up with. What of his parents? Dead, I'm afraid. Some time now. Don't I know you from somewhere? Not likely. Where are you from? We're just passing through. Huh... you're very good at avoiding questions... Search him! Oh? Won that in a Pazaak game. Not likely. We go about our business. We are of no concern to you. Come again? We are of no concern to you. Luke! Jedi! Trooper One to Trooper Base! We need back --- Don't let them call it in! Hey! What's... happening? I'm stuck. It won't move! Hey, over there! Stop him! *Augh!* Drop it! Augh! Is everyone all right? H-He'll be all right. We just need to get him home. Are you all right? Ben... Thank you. Of course. May the Force be with you. You're going to report back that your men were caught in a fight with Sand People. And that the records of this area are up to date... And that there is no interest here. We were caught in a fight with Sand People. Your records are up to date. There is no interest here. Now move along. Moving along. And that you won't be needing your blaster. I won't be needing my blaster. Qui-Gon: Obi-Wan... The Force will be with you. Always.

It was a tough/rough shoot especially for steadicam. Not my best work but it was a great learning experience and I’m happy with how the final turned out given everything. The first day I flew had gusts above 40mph which made steadicam rather useless most the time

Was just using my Steadicam Zephyr so had to make some creative choices on the camera build to stay under weight or at least not too far over. We used an Arri Alexa Mini with Cineovision Anamorphics.

Edit: thanks for my 1st silver! :D

Edit: Thanks for all the praise/hate/comments. I really appreciate it. However want to point out again. I was only the steadicam op/crane head op. I had no hand in the writing/creative of this project. Most praise goes to Jamie and Jason and those who poured weeks/months of their lives into this.

What I’m always curious about with fan fiction films is... do you get permission from the studio to use their characters/ general IP?

And how does one get funding? My dream project is to make a Star Trek origin fan film on the Borg, but I know that I personally do not have the money for a project like that. I heard somewhere that for some fan films there’s stipulations that you can only use your own money to fund them. there’s a SWcYouTube channel I’m thinking of but whose name escapes me that I believe this was the terms that Lucasfilms gave them.

Dude this is phenomenal. The amount of lightsaber action is just fine, considering Obi-Wan really is trying to not use it at all.

Beautifully shot and Jamie is on point as always.

Bravo, guys. Bravo!!!

Great work! What was it like working with JAT? I'm always a fan of his work

[u/Absoluttion]

Did I spot James Arnold Taylor in there? I couldn’t watch the whole thing at work but swear that was him.

Great shots, thanks a lot for sharing!

You can just feel the passion and love coming through. SW fanfilms were how I got started in filmmaking and I'm so glad to see them alive and well!

Who is this Jamie I keep reading about and why does he do Star Wars fan films all the time? Is he a working professional when not doing fan films?
