Star Wars Fans Get Chance to Have Videos Showcased

[earthdogue.livejournal.com]

The Star Wars films, long a favorite target of video spoofs posted online and even full-length dramatic knock-offs, are now giving birth to the "Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge" -- an event being created by Lucasfilm, AtomFilms, and SpikeTV. The three companies on Wednesday announced that they had set up a website, http://starwars.atomfilms.com  where Star Wars fans could submit videos for a chance to have them showcased on Spike TV during the channel's coverage of Lucasfilm's Star Wars Celebration IV convention in Los Angeles (May 24-28), commemorating the 30th anniversary of the release of Star Wars.

Havent seen too many actual fan films posted here at vidding. In fact I haven't seen any.

And obviously music videos are out of the question (taken from the link):

Not Allowed:
* Unauthorized use of any copyrighted material (artwork, photographs, music, etc.).
* Use of any SAG or other guild actors, performers, crewmembers, writers, etc.

Did you see the last batch of "Lucasfilm approved" fan films that they put together? Crap.

Except for Troops, but that's so old it wasn't even funny anymore.
