Hello readers of the Pl@ay article on "sweding" (a term coined in "Be Kind Rewind"). If you haven't read the article yet, go, go, go.

Here's a "Lord of the Rings" remake from England that tries to cram nine hours of film into two minutes of video.

from Chris Hardwick, a student at the University of Hertfordshire:

There are quite a few amusing stories that I could tell from behind the scenes! One highlight was when we asked the rest of our class to appear in the battle scenes in the film. This involved improvising so many costumes for orcs/elves for ten other people (involving bin bags and cardboard), standing outside the main building on our university campus and hitting eachother with cardboard weapons. It didn't help that it was a windy day so Nathan's (who plays Gandalf) white dressing gown kept being blown up infront of the camera! We got so many strange looks from other people that day who obviously didn't know what we were doing.
