Yo! This is an update. We have canceled this movie temporarily, and completed a Batman Movie. Based on the comics, Batman Year One. Anyway, we have another website you can go to: http://blackknightpictures.tripod.com. Go here and view info about our company. Next we are currently working on is a website with movies on them. You must have Realplayer to view these movies. They are not the best quality and they work sometimes and other times they are just messed up. So go check it out at: http://swiftpuff.tripod.com. Check it in a month or two and there will be more movies. I will also make some more websites like that one, because there are a lot of short movies we have completed. many of which are Star Wars and various other movies. So check it out. Or I might put a movie up on this site too. So check in one week. There will be a Short Star Wars Movie. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Sorry again about the discontinuance of the website. Since we've been so busy with the film, we didn't have time to update the site, but I'll tell you what we've done. We finished four scenes which includes a training scene, a long dialogue scene, a dark sequence, and we just wrapped up a scene called "Bane's Lair." Tonight we are going to film a alley scene, which is supposed to be dark and mysterious. Some of the character personalties and traits have changed a little, so you can check that out in "characters" section of our site if you wish. Our equipment manager provided us with custom made lightsabers, and we started building models for a Sith cruiser and single fighter ships. All the designs for the models and lightsabers are original. In the script, I rewrote some parts like the Battle of Ruusan scene. We decided to start off the film during the Battle of Ruusan instead of showing a flashback. This will work better for us. Also there will be no Battle of Dathomir, that will be put into the Battle of Ruusan scene. So we're looking at a fifteen minute battle scene in the begginning of the film. We've made some custom weapons for the battle, and bought masks for some of the soldiers. (That of course will be the Battle of Dathomir scenes since the Sith don't wear soldier masks). We decided to film the Battle of Dathomir parts first since we almost have all the weapons and costumes. That scene is planning to be filmed on monday of next week. Well, that's about it. I hope everyone is still interested despite the lack of updating, but I promise you in the end that we will have one awesome first full length star wars fan film.

We are very apologetic about the unanounced hiatus. We had some issues to deal with that were (temporaily) more important than this film. We also apologize for the absence of the anticipated trailer. I've seen it and it looks very good. Unfortuinately we are having trouble getting into a small enough file format. Does anyone know which format it should be exported from Adobe Premier with? And if so does it then need to be converted into something else? If you think you know please share your knowledge with us unless you want to d/l our film at 150MB for 5 minutes of footage! Thanks for your patience.

Sorry, again, for the late update. It has been a long month; we filmed some scenes and decided to put together a teaser trailer. The trailer, however, is not complete and still needs to be rotoscoped. The scenes that we wanted to be in there are not at the filming location. The trailer should be up for download in short time; rotoscoping isn't easy. And we still need to get the program to do it. Thanks again for stopping by, please check in from time to time, we will have updates and maybe the trailer!

I just added some information on the story link about some of the battles in the movie. I figured since we don't have anything to download as of now, we should atleast give you guys a brief description on what the battle would look like and what characters are involved.

Today we are working on a fight scene; we plan to film it in 2-3 weeks. The fight features Darth Bane, Siros Kahn, Kasaam, and Matriam fain. The fight is fast and really exciting to watch. This will be great for the movie. We are deciding if we should put the scene up for download or not. If we decide to, it should be availible in a month. Getting everyone in constume and getting them to the location is hard; so just bear with us. There might also be some other downloads availible later, such as wallpaper and behind the scene footage. We might also give you directions how to make a lightsaber come to life with your own computer, and how you can make a movie as well. So check in weekly for another update; I apoligize for the late update. It won't happen again. Oh yeah, May the force be with you!

Today we had a filmed some lightsaber tests, with our costumes on. We are preparing to schedule a day to start filming the opening scene sometime soon. Also we will soon add some of the script and more of the story that we are allowed to put up. Because the fans will be in for a big surprise in the movie, trust me.

Today we started screen testing all the actors. I've recieved many e-mails about whether or not we will show the Battle of Ruusan. Well the film takes place 17 years after the Battle of Ruusan, how am I possibly going to have a battle of Ruusan scene? ( Just Kidding) The answer is YES, we will have a flashback from Trin-To Zahn, because he did fight in the war, as well as Darth Bane did. The scene will be an estimated 2 minutes. We are planning to film that scene sometime next week.
