I saw Predators last night in 3D.

From the Emmy Press Release: We appear to be the sole independent company in the bunch.

Sandwiched between Showtime and Sundance, we were able to pull off this project with a working budget of…..$0.

This is because of the SWU participants and fans! Thanks everyone.

Today, the Emmys have officially announced this year’s nominations. Star Wars Uncut has been nominated for an Interactive Emmy!

The real stars are the fans and contributors to Star Wars Uncut. Without them this project would be nothing.

A huge thanks to Richard Cardran for the push to submit to Emmys and supporting us all the way through.

Thanks to Annelise Pruitt. She wrote and directed the Emmy video, designed the new website, and managed all the pieces to make it where SWU is today.

And thanks to Jamie Wilkinson and Chad Pugh for their support and contributions.

This is seriously a huge honor and am completely dumbfounded how far this project has gone. What’s even more incredible is that this same day last year was when I first released Star Wars Uncut. Happy Anniversary!

The all-new 2010 Star Wars: Uncut website is now complete and available for your viewing pleasure!

We’re releasing this overhauled version of the site with lots of fun features. You’ll be able to find and sort content more easily, connect and comment on other users’ scenes, and there’s a great new viewer that lets you pick how to play the movie.

Many thanks to the Star Wars: Uncut Team — Annelise Pruitt, Jamie Wilkinson, Chad Pugh, Aaron Valdez, and Bryan Pugh.

Also thanks to Malcolm Sutherland and Patrick Moberg for their art contributions.

Check out the new site and come back to participate in a new Uncut film this summer!

I just spoke on Australian national television about SWU!

A habit I need to quit:

Focus Firefox
Press CMD+T
Press T
Down Arrow
Enter

The series of keystrokes are more satisfying than the end result.

Annelise Pruitt: Here’s the first in a series of posters I designed - more coming soon!

The Natural Hisory Museum is probably the coolest place to go for a meeting.

I’m thrilled to release “The Escape,” a teaser from the finished Star Wars Uncut: A New Hope movie.

Hundreds of 15 second scenes were put back together in a finished film thanks to the work of several people:

Jamie Wilkinson, manager of video engineering, Bryan Pugh, sound editing master, and Aaron Valdez, video editor and general creative boon for the Uncut team.

Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, Tauntauns and Nerf Herders,

We have some some very exciting news: Stars Wars Uncut is finished!

Utilizing the Jedi powers of some very talented editors and sound mixers over the last few months, the full recreation of Star Wars: A New Hope has been recut and reedited with all your incredible 15 second scenes – and it’s even better than we could have dreamed. Over the next few days we’ll be premiering five minutes of Star Wars: Uncut for everyone to get a little taste of our ground-breaking project. We think you’re going to like it so stay tuned!

In celebration of the final film (and the motivating factor to finish it!), Star Wars: Uncut has been officially selected into CPH: PIX, a Copenhagen film festival in, you guessed it, Copenhagen! Annelise, one of our Jedi designers, and Casey will be traveling to the festival next weekend for the universal premiere of the film. We’ll be updating the blog with news of our travels and possible links to an interview we have setup with a Denmark national television station and several uncut participants from Denmark.

In other, almost equally exciting news, we are also almost finished with a brand new design for the Starwarsuncut.com. This new design will allow to vote for your favorite scenes, easily watch the entire movie any way you want, and much more. It will also be the foundation of our future uncut films (can you say Empire?!?).

We want to thank EVERYONE who has helped bring this project to life: from the scene creators, to the site designers, sound and film editors, and everyone else who has participated in Star Wars: Uncut – we could not have done it without you.

Stay tuned for the premiere of the Star Wars: Uncut teaser and prepare yourself for a big announcement of our next project that is currently in the works.

Cheers,

Casey and the Uncut Team

I’ve been staring at this photo for hours, so I decided to make my own animated version.
