I'm not sure if others on this forum are aware of this fan film, which is loosely the Luthien and Beren story, call "Ranger."

Re: Ranger fan film
That is well done.
The throwing of the sword to decide direction is rather weird.
Other things, details mostly. Bearded Elves, decidedly non-Elvish housing, etc. Minor stuff.
I would say it is inspired by Beren and Luthien, rather than a rendition of it, however loosely.
Still, it is a well done piece. Worth watching indeed.
Apparently someone is trying to do 'The Silmarillion'. I personally would love to see a movie, properly made, of the 'Children of Hurin'. Sadly, that won't happen. It should be obvious by now that my preferred periods are First and Second Age...and I adore the Silmarillion.

Re: Ranger fan film
I know I've read about a character throwing a sword to decide which way to go, but I agree- weird, and showcased that it was a wobbly prop sword.Eledhwen wrote:That is well done.

Yeah- a balding, curly haired paunchy Elf king with a whispy beard? Not so much.
Also- what Ranger would build a fire in the middle of a bunch of pine needles?
But overall, I agree that 'inspired by Luthien and Beren' is accurate. Nice production quality and some beautiful scenery.

Re: Ranger fan film
If this was Tolkien, Randir would have been a better name, and the girl in the film is gorgeous!
