1 Year since Avatar Fan Film Premier at IMAX!

[Alan]

Kaltxi ma eylan,

It's been a while since I've posted here, but believe me I have been working behind the scenes for AvatarMeet 2012. Keep a look out of some news in the next few weeks on that one.

However, my reason for posting was as the title suggests; it is one year since the Avatar fan film, Our Only Home, made by fans on both Avatar-Forums and Tree of Souls, was shown at the IMAX cinema in Birmingham (UK) prior to the showing of Avatar SE to an unsuspecting audience. Six of us managed to make it to the mini meet up, including Unil Makto, who flew over from America!

We all met up in Birmingham to have a mini clan meal together, before making our way to the IMAX. We got there just in time as the adverts has started. The lights dimmed and on came Our Only Home, made by 20 fans from nine different countries.

Getting it shown at the IMAX came about when I enquired about having an Avatar fan meet up there to watch Avatar SE as it was coming to the end of it's run at the cinemas. I thought I would edge my bets and asked if we could have our film shown. Almost without any hesitation, the lady at the other end said no problem as they were part of the university and liked doing things for the community. The rest, as they say it history, and a very memorable one for all of us Avatar Fans as we all now have something in common with James Cameron - we've all had a film shown at IMAX!!

For those of you who may not have seen our fan film here is the You Tube link:

The You Tube Channel for the film is here: OurOnlyHome's Channel - YouTube

On there you will find a number of versions with subtitles in English, Portugese, German, Czech and Finnish. There are also a couple of extra videos on how it was made and a funny :nwink:

There is also an app for the iPhone, iPod and iPad on iTunes too. Just search for 'OurOnlyHome'.

Below are some piccies from the event that took place a year to the day on the 5th November:




Eywa ngahu ma eylan,
