GREMLINS FAN FILM - Gremlins 3 Warmup

- This is the alternate fan sequence I made for the DVD version of the Gremlins 2 "film break" scene. I made it alone, in a two months period, with (computer-enhanced) puppets I re-created for this project.
WATCH THE MAKING OF ON TH-cam !!!
-----------------
MORE INFO:
WHAT IS IT?
In the middle of the movie Gremlins 2, there is a sequence where the film seems to break, and where the gremlins invade the projection booth. For the VHS edition in the early 90's, they reshot a special sequence where the VHS tape seemed to be torn apart and in which the gremlins invaded a John Wayne movie. The DVD just kept the original theatrical version.
This is the alternate sequence I made, supposed to replace the theatrical one on the DVD.
HOW IS IT MADE?
The creatures effects are all made with puppets. I made a new mold out of a hard cast of one of the original sculptures from the production. I created a batch of new foam puppets especially for this project. Their performances are enhanced by computer effects, which makes them able to do nearly anything, from running to jumping or facial expressions. The entire shooting takes place in a bluescreen studio, arranged in my basement, in order to superimpose the gremlins in the chosen movies.
WHO AM I ?
Sacha Feiner - I am a movie and animated movie director, special effects creator and sculptor, in Brussels.
I made several short films, documentaries, and cartoons; I also work as a graphist.
In 2007 and 2008, I made an animated series and recut trailers that were played at the BRUSSELS INTERNATIONAL FANTASTIC FILM FESTIVAL (largest genre festival in Europe), before each screening.
WHY THIS PROJECT?
I have been a gremlins fan since I saw the first movie as a kid and it has always been my dream to be part of such a project. I own one of the largest Gremlins collections in the world; tons of merchandising products and several original screen-used props. I am truly passionated with these creatures (and their movies), as well as with special effects. I am lucky enough to be able to afford the whole making of something like this, entirely written, produced and directed by me.
HOW LONG AND HOW MUCH?
The whole production was two months long. It has been finished on 15th july, 2008.
This is a fan, non profit project. I did everything alone, from the filming to the compositing. I only had assistants for the puppeteering. The overall budget, including the purchasing of the original sculpture, the HD and studio equipment, the molding and painting of the puppets and the editing, was about US $3000. This is also an answer to something Joe Dante said in an interview, when the journalist asked why they did not shoot any new alternate sequence for the DVD edition: "I guess there was no budget"! Indeed, the purpose is also to show that it is possible to render a professional, entertaining and well done sequence for... nearly nothing.
This is crazy good by modern TH-cam standards. Mind-blowing back in 2008
This stuff is simply brilliant. To think of the effort put on this and how well implemented the Gremlins look in the invaded movies make the overall result very impressive.
Congratulations for making something like this.
James and Mike Mondays brought me here.
Which episode?
Same here! There needs to be a Blu-ray and streaming version now lol!
If there were a gremlins 2 special edition. This would be perfect for it
Only 327,000 Views? This is the most top notch work I have seen done by one individual.. AND on TH-cam. I really hope your talent doesn't go unnoticed! I love the exorcist scenes!
How am I just now seeing this!?! This is amazing! I’d love to see a sequel where the gremlins take over streaming services just to see a fight between Gizmo and Baby Yoda.
GENIOUS!
That was impressive, without knowing any context I would assume all of those movies had alternate Gremlins editions. :)
Wow! This is something I've always wanted to see done, and to see it be done with such professionalism and in such length is amazing! The puppet animation blends perfectly with the real creatures from the film, and they're nearly flawlessly added into the existing footage of Batman, Raiders, Goonies and the other films. Nice to see some Beast from 20,000 fathoms as well! I am very impressed!
Epicness!! My favourite is The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms' homage. Beautiful work!!
This… this is absolutely stunning. And to think this was done independently 15 years ago! Can’t even describe how inspirational this is to me. This deserves all the attention in the world.
This is beautiful. I'm very impressed with all of these special effects. It's people like you that inspires me.
Re-upload this should have millions of views. Great work and in 2008!!! Must have taken forever
2:55
Indiana: Gremlins. Why did it have to be gremlins?
Sallah: Mogwai variety. Very dangerous. (beat) You go first.
I am a huge fan of pretty much all of hollywood and that was really amazing. What ever you used to rotoscope or motion track raiders was simply amazing. Batman, every effect you did was flawless. I really look forward to what ever you do next! I hope to one day get int he business myself.
That... was just amazing. I can't believe that someone was actually able to pull this kinda stuff off.
Now This Is The Best Thing I've Seen, And I've Seen A Lot, dude
this film you made is amazing and inspiring. simply fantastic! I am a huge Gremlins fan as well. Gremlins 2 is one of my all time favorites. incredibly well done and thank you.
The ending should've been the gremlin resuming gremlins 2 instead of quit VOD haha amazing stuff!!
Impressive. When even Joe Dante is impressed, you know you've done well!
THIS IS AMAZING! I'm giving you a howl for it! AH-HOOOOOOOORRROWWOO! wOW this is great stuff man! I wish there was more gremlins, they had so much there ... sigh ...
Wow, props for making this look so legit!
Everything is brilliant about this, from the clips chosen, color grading, composition and sound design. Inspired.
This is a masterpiece. For people who don't know Warner Bros. are planning a gremlins 3 but it's all talk right now it's not definitely going to happen but that's not to say it won't happen. Warner Bros. are acting as though they just don't care about gremlins 3 and because of that I don't want them to make it but if you write and direct gremlins 3 then I want to see it done(and with puppets). Come on Hollywood the time is right we want Gremlins.
That was a lot of fun! Hopefully you get some work out of this because it was really well done! Hopefully Joe Dante can get this on the Blu-Ray like he was talking about.
Those Gremlins are in my all-time favorite movie The Goonies
I don't know how you did this, but I'm disgusted it took me seven years to find it.
BRAH
Me too, I didn't even know there was an alternate VHS version of the "film break" scene
This is amazing. You should really be proud of yourself. I hope they decide to make Gremlins 3 and have you be a part of the production. You deserve a lot of recognition for putting all this effort into such a fantastic fan film. I hope to see more of you in the future.
I'm here because of the AVGN video where they play Gremlins 2 for the NES. James was talking about your video here saying that it was amazing. This is wayyy better than I thought it was going to be. You sir, should have more recognition and views. This is phenomenal!
I tip my hat to you sir for
making the most impressive
fan project I have ever seen.
If anyone deserves to make
GREMLINS 3 it is you.
Nice video! I think James Rolfe just mentioned this!
It's a shame that this only has 202 views. This is very impressive. You deserve a lot more recognition.
This is one of the most impressive videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. A total delight!
Wow, that's some great work splicing the Gremlins into those films and animating them, and it's funny to watch, too. My favorite parts are the Batman (particularly for that shot at 6:05-6:12) and the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms parts. The shot of Gremlin(s) walking into frame at 5:33-5:37 is not only awesome looking, but the Gremlins' movements match the feeling of how such effects looked in the actual movies back then. Great job!
Just breathtaking creativity, skill and drive.
Imagine how many people a studio would employ to do that commercially.
He should definitely return and make a version for streaming services with the gremlins showing up in shows like succession, euphoria, the idol and Barry
This is incredible. Seamless, clever, and hilarious!
Well done!
Oh my GOD! That is truly amazing. The best thing I've seen on TH-cam. Gremlins is my favorite movie and you've given me the best thing next to Gremlins 3 I could get.
Dude, this is really really good! The quality of the effects are on par with how they would have looked when Gremlins 2 came out.
No doubt this effort of yours will make many other people stand up and take notice. Your dedication really paid off. WOW!
Cannot believe Warner Animation Group had to steal your idea for Space Jam 2! You should sue them some day.
that was great, i cant believe how well this was made, favorited and 5 stars!!!Gremlins FTW!
One of the most underrated videos on whole TH-cam!
My god...that was quite possibly the most impressive thing I have EVER seen! I take my hat off to you sir!
THANK YOU SIR!!! This video along with the BT ad will hopefully get the ball rolling on Gremlins 3. Amazing work!
This will have 2 million hits by the end of the week. WELL DONE!
Really incredible! If you had told me this was an official delted scene or DVD extra, I would have 100% believed it! This is not only funny but seamless, professional, true to spirit of Gremlons and the best demonstration of smooth overlay editing. And to top it off Gremlins was one of my favourite movies when I was a kid. Great stuff.
That was awesome! Some of the scenes were so well done, i couldnt tell the difference! 5/5
Geeeez... As everyone here, I guess, I was raised with "gremlins at my mind". Y'all created - or "re-created" - a jewel, man... Congratulations!
...Andcha I'm goin' to watch for the fourth time.
Greetings from Germany! I think, you have got another fan. Just wonderful how you add the Footages in the Movie.. my greatest respect!
I adore this, it's amazing. It makes me feel that a Gremlins 3 could be a possibilty with even the slightest care and attantion.
Throughout this entire sequence I kept thinking, "How did he do that!!!" Wow!!! That was so awesome!!!
I loved the shot where the two gremlins were sitting around bullshitting before the bat bomb went off in the distance.
I'd bet that if a Hollywood studio did this bit, they would've poured tons of money all over it, but here you are with three grand, doing it for fun.
Bravo, bravo.
This is great!
I myself create fiberglass armour/puppets/weapons and it's always awesome to watch a fanfilm that is made with such passion!
Hat's of to you Sir.
You should reupload this if possible if you have a better raw version? also pretty sure angry video game nerd just gave you a shout out kinda
brought me here.. phenomenal gem!
that is what brought me here had no idea that this was made till now
yup that's what brought me here the AVGN shout-out
Same here on the James Rolf shout out.
@@merpo2806 Which video?
I bow down to you! This is freaking amazing, in both concept and execution.
this is pretty good. funny scene choices as well. very impressive that you went to the trouble to actually recreate the models.
i could watch this for hours. Brilliant work sir, in concept and execution.
I must say that this has to have been one of the best things I have ever seen! You, sir, are quite talented!
wow this is freakin amazing XD I love how you put the gremlins into every film hahahaha. it loooks like they were really in those films XD
WOW! Fantastic man. I hope what Joe Dante said about you directing Gremlins 3 actually pays off. I would love to see another Gremlins movie!
This is probably one of the most amazing creative things I have ever seen on youtube. You deserve to make the third movie.
Niiiice! The editing you did on this is SUPERB. And they SHOULD have done something like this on the DVD version! Only one thing: You ought to have had somehow somebody, maybe one of the movie characters say "Go back to your own movie!" Or something to explain why the Gremlins stop playing with the video on demand similar to the canon "film break" sequences.
It already did: Batman blowing up the chemical plant was his way of telling them, "Quit messing around, if you know what's good for you!"
genious!
i've watched your making of and then i wanted to see the final result. i think you have spent your time and money very well because this is one piece of the gremlins history - i guess!
great!
Utterly awesome! As a fellow Gremlinsphile, that has just made my day. In fact, make that month!
Jaw-droppingly brilliant. There is no justice in the world if this doesn't get 50 million hits. I will say this, a couple of the composites don't match up lighting wise, but since you are destroying old movies where not 100% perfect composites were used, it actually makes them work better than if they were perfect. Brilliant!
very well done, fun to watch, fantastic production value, movie choice, and scene selection. I have passed it on to a few already haha
Wow. Definitely in the top five of the most impressive things I have seen on youtube in the past few years I've been on here.
My favorite part was probably the Indiana Jones section with one of the gremlins wearing a Mogwai mask. This is amazing work, really top-notch.
Excellent!
Loved the BATMAN & BATMAN RETURNS bits the most!
It's not easy to find such good ideas and such a good talent to make them come true. Excellent job and good luck, you deserve it!
Incredible. One of the best homage videos i have seen so far.
LMFAO! dude this is awsome! congratz loved it when Indy Got locked in with the gremlins! his face was priceless! kudos to u!
The absolute best thing I've ever seen produced on U Tube by a long shot you have talent my friend ;)
alors là je dis bravo, énorme, ça m'énerve, j'aurais du y penser :), fabuleux travail, bonne chance pour la suite.
Omg I just found this!!! I collet gremlins!!!! I have gizmo tattooed on my shoulder!!! I'm 40 and still sleep I my gizmo!!! Hes been through hell lol he fall into the Atlantic Ocean in Maine, and a woman dove off the rocks and saved him for me!!! Lol its a LONG story for my history with Gizmo!!! You'd never believe the history either lol!! Thank you for the awesome smiles to this remake!!! I needed this!!!! especially today!!!
Absolutely excellent job! I wish I found your work sooner!
Ive seen this a few times and I really gotta hand it to you man. You did an phenomenal job. Its so true to the source material it feels like a future look into Gremlins 3.
Warner Bros. should take a look at this and consider using it for something.
Really amazing work man, especially for the budget and doing it all on your own.
That was effin amazing! Impressive! I still can't believe what I just watched. It's been a while since I seen these movies, but you intergrated the gremlins in there so well, I was really convinced that they invaded the classics! Really impressed with the indiana jones party scene! That must have taken a really long time. Man, and now I'm sitting here wishing they would make a Gremlins 3!!!
This is an extreemly well made production.
the best thing I have ever seen on youtube ever. Well done.
Amazing, you put the work into it and it shows, it came out amazing.
Amazing. I'm especially impressed how you were able to match the original lighting in some shots for the digital compositing.
Wow ! Usually when I watch something that has been re-cut like this I feel very removed due to my familiarity with the source material but this is outstanding work.
Holy crap this was so awesome i thought i was imagining it!
Please, please, please do more!
Comme demandé, tu as droit à un commentaire du MP3 Creator qui tient absolument à te (re)féliciter pour ton boulot de pro ! Propre, original, amusant, y a rien à redire à part qu'on se lasse pas de la regarder ! Bravo !
(notre passage préféré est sans contest le gremlin qui fait "cut" à la fin avec ses doigts, avec celui qui dresse son drapeau blanc).
That was incredible, big props fellow Gremlins fan
my mind has officialy been blown, Excellent work good man
Great Job - you are a Genius !!! It's perfect Illusion ! Thanks !!!!
Wow dude. This is seriously awesome. If they truly do go forward with a Gremlins 3, I certainly hope they hire you to work on the effects.
That's just amazing! Loved every single second of it.
