Release of Lord of the Rings film, Hope, imminent
Today, I was delighted to see that Ben Mudge, director of the long-awaited Lord of the Rings fan film, Hope, has posted on his blog that the release of the film is imminent.
This is really exciting news, as this has been a film I have wanted to see completed for ages. The production values were incredible, as you can see from the picture above.
an abridged version of the film was played at Ben's graduation screening, but the full length version almost doubles the running time.
To whet your appetite further, here is the trailer for the film.

Trailer for Lord of the Rings prequel Hope released
Today the trailer for Ben Mudge's Lord of the Rings prequel, Hope, has been released, to much salivating from a baying public, no doubt. Or myself at least, since this has been a project I was incredibly impressed by.
Ben's ambition has been bold, considering he had such a limited budget, but I think the results really speak for themselves.
Helping out in post production were Jonny Walker, editing, and Chris McCann providing the emphatic score.
My congratulations go out to all involved, and I can't wait to see the full length picture doing the festival circuit.

Screening of Hope in Odeon, Belfast
Tonight, Hope, the Lord of the Rings film I acted in was screened in the Odeon cinema in Belfast, as part of the HND show for Belfast Metropolitan College.
The show was huge hit, and was among the most popular of the evening, the audience rapt by the visual spectacle of the piece.
The film was edited down from 11 minutes to seven, and even then it was two minutes longer than the brief allowed, but I guess the invigilators were so impressed that they overlooked this. Unfortunately my major scene was one of the big casualties of the cut.
All the guys were there, Chris, Jonny, Aisling, and of course, the director, Ben.
It was great to see the finished project, but I can't wait to see the full length version.

Picture from Hope
A picture of me has been made available by Ben at his blog, dressed in full Orc make up.
[caption id="attachment_127" align="aligncenter" width="278" caption="Me as an Orc, in heavy make up"]
[/caption]
It is odd, as this is the first time I've seen myself in make up, there were no mirrors on location, and the display on the camera didn't really do the job justice.
There should be more available when the edit is finished, because it was the same person doing the photography as is editing, so I look forward to more shots, of my full costume.

Hope production wrapped
Today production wrapped on Hope, an ambitious Lord of the Ring fanfic project. I played two orcs, made possible by the incredibly impressive costumes, with realistic latex masks for the orcs.
The shooting took place in Belvoir Park, in Belfast, which turned out to be a perfect location, because of it's sheer vastness, despite being on the edge of the city.
The director is Benjamin Mudge, who wrote and produced the project, with Aisling Kelly, Chris McCann, Jonny Walker and other students from the Belfast Metropolitan College.
This is a project I'm genuinely excited about, and with highly enthusiastic Lord of the Rings across the world, this is sure to be a big success.
Production shots and clips to come soon.
