Video Found: Rise of the Rebellion ep. 1 — The Battle of Eison (Star Wars)
I’m a true Star Wars fan. I can’t help myself. Every new fan production gets me excited, and the latest fan-made Star Wars flick, Rise of the Rebellion, is no different.

The CGI isn’t as good as the movies, and certainly needs fine-tuning, but the nine minute battle that makes up the first episode is really quite impressive. Ignore the rather poor acting and just enjoy the visuals. I’d almost say it’s better than most of what you see in the prequels.

Video Found: Connected (SF Short)
Another brilliant short science fiction venture. Connected is a post-apocalyptic short film (7 min) told entirely visually (no dialogue). The visual effects are quite good and the story is told with expert precision. See for yourself (after the fold): (Filched from SF Signal.)
