Hi!
Uh, I made this:
http://silverwolfpet.com/ammdi-2-online/
Took about 4 years.
Hm, you can see the trailer here:

Let me know what you think, please :D
Oh and if you like it, would you help me promote it?
I demand 800 of your finest leather tickets.
This looks definitely worth of looking out.
I read all of the Tolkien's books including The Hobbit... and I quite respect Lord of the Rings. Why don't you make a parody on Harry Potter or something instead of Lord of the Rings?
I meant to say that Tolkien is much more interesting and better than Harry Potter. But that's just my opinion.
Well whatever...
Why would the quality of the source material have anything to do with whether or not a parody be made? You suggesting parodies be only made of stuff that you don't care about?
Parody is one of the best forms of praise!
Started watching this, is absolutely awesome! :o

Couldn't said it better myself.
Thanks for watching, guys! Please let me know what you thought after watching it! What did you like best? What did you dislike?
Also, spread the word, please! Pretty please!
As for a Harry Potter parody... everybody tackled that one. It's much harder to make a Lord of the Rings parody and also be able to stick to the storyline.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have fun with the Harry Potter movies, but others beat me to it and made better parodies.
On the other hand, nobody made a full LOTR Parody... until now.
Just to make things clear, what you are watching now is the Second Part, which focuses on The Two Towers and Return of the King.
The First Part, that features The Fellowship of the Ring, was actually filmed about 4-5 years ago and you can find it here:

I just posted the Second Part because it's far superior (joke-wise and effects). If you truly want to get all the little inside jokes, you have to watch the first part...then the second. :)
Watched all of it!
Some of the bits near the end seemed a little less polished, and I didn't get some of the jokes.
Other than that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! :D
I liked your version of Saruman more than the movie version. He sounded like he was perpetually high and evil for no reason whatsoever.
Runner up: you as Gargli? Whatever you renamed Grima Wormtongue.
"Less polished" explanation: During these 4 years, in which we shot different sequences (not in order), I was getting better and better at effects... but the first shots (which seemed less polished in the final version) were, well, not so good as I was just getting started on the whole thing.
Hopefully the important shots (like the climax) were good.
"Not getting all the jokes" explanation: Well... some are injokes (you have to see part 1 to get them) and some are related to our culture. Can't help you there, sorry! I did write explanations in the subtitles whenever I thought it was necessary... but other than that, you just have to let those slide by.
Don't worry... some people from my country didn't get other jokes which were praised by international fans. It's all about hitting a certain balance to make it cool for everyone!
Me as...Gargli?!?! Hahahahaha!!
It's Grilaj! (which, in translation, means "Sewer Grate"
I also played Aragaz (Aragorn) which, in translation, means "stove".
Aaaand I played Dr. Kauff (which you can see more of here: http://talesofmi.net/?cat=17 )
I also was the director, cameraman, gaffer (lights and such), 2D Artist, 3D artist, Image/Artistic director, Script Writer, Background designer, choreographer, video and sound editor, composer, props designer, costume/make-up artist and special effects guy.
...that's why it took 4 years, haha! ^.^
I am working on the making of right now... if you guys want, I can insert your quotes in "Fans reactions" :)
Oh and, yeah, Sarmaleman was spot on. The actor was really great and all the scenes with him were a ton of fun to shoot!
Thank you for watching!! It makes me happy to receive feedback (whether it's positive or negative) so, please, send it/show it to your friends!
Heh, when I said "Less polished" I actually meant some of the writing. That's not your fault, however, as making a conclusion to something like that has got to be damned tricky! I guess there was just a few places at the end where the jokes didn't come as thick and fast as they did throughout the rest of the film. :)
However, as far as the important shots go, they were certainly done well. ;D
Not getting the Jokes is to be expected, as the language barrier is ever present. No worries there.
Also after re-watching the credits, I would like to give you all a standing ovation, but find myself unable to due to the medium of communication. :-*
You, sir, are truly amazing.
I, sir, am looking forward to more!
Oh, the writing! Yes, I can understand why, heh... the ending was the last thing I wrote on that since I wanted it to tie in the last 6 years of collaboration between friends, as well as the story while taking into account the modifications that I wrote along the way.
I heard people saying that they were blown away by the ending, yet they didn't fully understand why since it was not what they were expecting. Nontheless, everybody had interesting reactions and interpretations. Good to know this goes internationally too, haha!
As for "more", my good man, I am fully working on a brand new SciFi Series (http://"http://www.indiegogo.com/New-SciFi-Series?a=242492&i=addr").
Feel free to keep up with the details on my site: www.silverwolfpet.com
I dare to say that it is something that will seem familiar, yet nobody did anything like this before. At least, story-wise.
And, in case anyone here is a fan, I'm working on a very nice Doctor Who Tribute (which fans have been asking for a while now). The script is almost finished... all I need are costumes, some sweet locations and a female.
...that sounds way kinkier than expected.
Aaaanyway... I'll soon launch a demo for my upcoming game too! ^.^ So there is "more" to expect.
Haha!
Looking forward to it! ;)
