Star Wars - Uncut

If you have not heard of this project and are a Star Wars fan then perhaps this is a place you should go to here.

The idea comes from Casey Pugh who has broken the story down into 2,161 separate 15-second scenes, and asked web users to choose one to shoot. Here is the trailer for it made entirely from the user contributed creations and imaginings.

Contributors have 30 days to film their selected scene/s in whatever fashion they like; this could be stop-motion, live action, computer animation whatever.

Better get the pennies from the jar then...

There is some YT video here but break out your hankies first... here.
