CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
I bet he comes up with nothing. He's made a comment that it has a big budget. I don't think there are enough axa faithful left to fund a huge budget.
I said Open Mind not pocketbook ....lol
Pocketbooks are what they want. Because you know it isn’t possible to do s fan film without others paying for it.
Those poor kids.I wouldn't put it past either of them to groom the film students to be their volunteer crew. Keyword: Creepy.
So he's learned absolutely nothing this whole time?
I've worked on several dozen fan films where mostly the only people that put up money to make it was the group of people making it.
Some people haven't figured out how that works yet.
Now the one thing we did learn from Axanar. Many of the people that put up a few bucks become super fans, no matter how the production turned out. It's what I call the Rose Colored Glasses Effect.
Thank you!
There is only one good reason to invite social funding that I can think of.
It allows fans that really want to became a part of it but have no other means other than giving ten bucks to feel an actual part of the production team.
Too many wanna-be fan filmmakers have embraced the Max Bialystock school of producing.

They're just trying to seduce backers and profit from it all. Watch out, little old ladies and gullible Trekkies!
More details about Lane's fan film set in the Axanar universe. Seemingly he is not directing it:

Won’t these people just go the F away. They’re like termites. When you think you’re rid of them, they come back.
we've never been further away from Gene'sVisionTM than today. so many folks trying to capitalize on a story depicting a future in which we're beyond capitalizing, disguised as "hobby, or "fan film". the irony! i guess i shouldnt even be mad. they're just following a global trend, seems corporate and shareholder greed just rubbing off onto anyone. I'm not suprised there are no details about Lane's project yet except "it'll have a big budget". fuck you.
The Axanar Universe: The Star Trek of the ageing white male. No gays, no minorities. The men save the day.
In 11 days I retire from it all. I have a little cave carved out on a mountain side.
I started in 1974 working for a venture capitalist who purchased troubled companies and turned them around and sold them off.
The last project I worked on for this guy was a company that made the 81/2 floppy disk. The guy put up his house, took out loans and wented deeply in dept because all he could see is the 81/2 disk storing every bodies information on it. A good vision if the world was static and stayed in the office typing pool environment.
Along comes the FT-501 5 1/4 disk drive and the computer world changed from tape drives to floppy storage systems small enough to move computers from office buildings to homes.
The guy bankrupted himself with the right Idea but the wrong product. It's not innovation but trends that win the day.
I was just part of a team up on the 20th floor that held up a 5 1/4 floppy disk and said, "Yeah but I can take my day's work home on this and finish my work on a little Coco computer."
We retooled and netted our first million dollar net month in a little over a year. three years latter sold out to Amary and Apple just as the 3 1/4 came out.
Movies or manufacturing, it's all the same difference to me.
If you want to make money in fan films . make fans not films. read up on Hunger games and how lions gate turned the tables on Icahn.
There are 4 levels to creating a profitable venture, most people live in a world that doesn't teach any of them.
The universe where you will be asking the SAME people for money that you have already asked for money 3 or 4 times for Axanar---which STILL hasn't happened and for your warehouse rent every month. I'm sure some suckers will give, but if they do they kinda deserve to be fleeced yet again.
Far too many. I've seen people trying to crowdfund oh, let's see:
- Plastic surgery after weight loss (usually skin reduction or a tummy tuck or both)
- Attendance at a convention when they aren't a star and don't even have a booth or a table; they just want to go
- Honeymoons
- Indie publishing so they can buy covers or editing services
Please good sir. May I give you some more?
Reading about the epic future classic, Jon might consider adding a "Tank Girl" motif.
But with half the charm.
