A Rebel Pilot Is Forced to Survive in STAR WARS Fan Film REBEL SCUM
"Rebel Scum" is a Star Wars fan film that comes to us from Blood Brother Cinema. The short is an homage to the original Star Wars trilogy, and the story follows a Rebel pilot who is forced to survive on the ice cold planet Hoth. Here’s a short story summary:
A Rebellion pilot is hounded by death from the merciless Empire and a frozen grave, after being abandoned during the retreat of the Rebel Alliance from Hoth.
The movie was shot on location in Alberta, Canada at the Columbia Icefield in -30°C (-22°F) weather. One of the things I really liked about it was their attempt to create nearly all of their visual effects without the use of CGI. For example, there’s an AT-AT in the short that was animated via stop-motion. They used models, miniatures, and matte painting to achieve their effects.
It may not be the best Star Wars fan film ever made, but it is a true Star Wars fan film with soul. You can tell a lot of love and effort went into creating it. I also included a behind the scenes video for you to watch.
