And your life will never be the same... ![]() ![]() EARTHBOUND 10 minutes Silent movie/parody A parody of the classic formula of a H.P Lovecraft tale. I did everthing myself in this one. I filmed it in a few days in june 2008 and finished the editing in march 2009. It's a small projekt without any big ambitions. The greatest challenge in Earthbound was to tranform shots of Ronneby into the 1920s... In fact, the film turned out a bit disapointing... So these shots is the best part of it... Let's call it a fun experiment. ![]() ![]() Watch the Earthbound trailer on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sig5TQg1W10 --- New sensations on Youtube... 24 january 2009 Now can the first part in a making-of-feature be seen on Youtube.
