legolas by Laura, the live-action trailer

[adelphus11]

@brendansteere - Fangirl squeal! You responded! I will do as I must, for Mondor.

[GreenFruityCow1995]

This made me hnnng.

[brendansteere]

@GreenFruityCow1995 No, Hisao! You know about your heart condition! D:

Katawa Shoujo reference. Nailed it.

[adelphus11]

@DominatingPineapple - is there hope then, that you guys would consider doing the whole story? I'm sure you could pad it easily.

[brendansteere]

@adelphus11 I guess the truest answer we can honestly give is: "Maybe." This is being received very well, and the support is why we do it. I know I for one would love to return to this if we can find something new to bring to the table, we just need to find the time, with jobs and film thesis(es) looming.

So if you want to see more keep spreading it, keep getting the word up. If there's enough support and demand, we'll be happy to get back on the (bad fanfiction) horse. :)

[FanFicCritic]

LOL

[Anima189]

DAMN THIS IS SO QUALITY HOLY SHIT!!!

The horse is cute too. XD

[OLiberty94]

BUT WHO WOULD LEAVE BABY IN THE WOODS ANDTO DIE?!!!

[breadinaboxV2]

Whats the song around 1:10? It seems familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

[brendansteere]

@breadinaboxV2 It's the battle theme from Final Fantasy VIII, called "Don't Give Up". The orchestral version from the "Distant Worlds" concert album, if you were interested.

Because THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.

[breadinaboxV2]

@brendansteere And I've been listening to that album recently, THANK YOU SO MUCH

ALSO THIS IS AMAZING

[Rangamon1]

Is that a final fantasy battle theme towards the end? Otherwise awesome job :)

[DominatingPineapple]

So, just out of curiosity, "Laura" (the actress) and I would like to ask all of you asking for a feature length version, HOW would you EVEN adapt legolas by laura into a feature length script without finding the original laura herself to write additional material? XD This stuff is priceless, we couldn't make it up ourselves. lolol

For somerising, -The Boss of the Orcs

[callmekite]

@DominatingPineapple We must find Laura and have this fantastic tale continued! It's too priceless to be left at such a short length. You guys did amazing, it'd be great to see it full.

[xxWynterGenisisxx]

@callmekite check out legolas by laura - the motion picture if you haven't already. It's totally different but I laughed my pants off and it all gets played out there. You may have a different opinion but I think it's worth seeing :)

[ShikibuSan]

@DominatingPineapple I just gotta say, this looked like an absolute blast to film and I wish I was there.

[DominatingPineapple]

@ShikibuSan It was hysterical (the dark lord and I were in stitches between takes in the "dungeon", if you look at around 40 seconds in, you'll see he wouldn't stop licking his lips the entire time we did that shot), I actually recently found some footage I took between takes and I'm considering seeing if the dark lord or legolas have some outtakes and throwing together a little behind the scenes as a thank you for the +10,000 views (and all the IT'S OVER 9,000 jokes we got to make) ^.^

[ShikibuSan]

@DominatingPineapple Dohohoho. I'll look forward to that. |D Ya'll were great. I've known about this movie for a while and I still come back to watch it.

[TheAninimouse]

Haha, love it. This deserves a lot more views.

@DominatingPineapple

I didn't read back, but I'd guess they're probably asking if you guys could make a video for the entire story, word for word, not an actual feature-length film. (Which, would be awesome by the way.)

[adelphus11]

@TheAninimouse This, yes, so very much this.

[adelphus11]

But seriously, if we start a petition, will you make this full length for us?

[TheLadyBloodwing]

This looks terrific! :) You all did an excellent job!

[gYnetheus]

This is amazing.

[treeka215]

You guys are awesome!! <3

[castellanofarsante]

Yaaaaaay...this make meh all hapy.

[PirateDiva7143]

Po-si-on

[Bl3ssedWithACurs3]

this fucking made my day xDDDDd

[OLiberty94]

The timing of the Dark Lord's comment at the end was...epic. I wish someone would actually make this into a movie, because I would go see it and laugh myself senseless.

[laaischieck]

loved it!

[taylovespatch2]

LOL nice :D

[DominatingPineapple]

I'm actually surprised nobody's commented on the fact that all of the villains were gingers... lol

[StarLine317]

This was the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life. Thank you, you make SoFA worth it.

[awagamgnalaw]

Can someone please give them a grant so we could see this in 3D soon kthx

[rdklzkydd]

You are wonderful and deserve awards.

[LegolasAdventures]

Check out our new legolas video! It's about his daily life ;D

[Piper0711]

Aw, my favorite part was when manwithoutabody said as Gandalf "Why?" in the weird voice and it wasnt in there... Good job otherwise though.

[DominatingPineapple]

@Piper0711 aww, but he practiced that line ALL day! It was the only one we gave him XD

[HyaenusDominae]

The tea bit was probably what made me laugh the most. That or when the Dark Lord questioned the script for a moment at the end.

[knepri]

Loved how the Wicked Witch of the East kidnapped laura...

[Clarestovold]

Omg, this is one of the best things ever...... XD

[woxiedowg]

HAHAAHA, BRILLIANT!  Well done, well done!!

[Lollipoploopz]

This movie better be coming out next year FOR SOMERISING!!!

Also, Darc Lorde Souron is fiii-iiine. :D

[BludyVixen]

Oh dear god, that was hilarious! I cannot stop laughing!

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

OK lol X-D!!!!!

[userbunnylaura]

This has greatly improved my life in so many ways. And my name is Laura, so it just makes it that much better.

[SuperDesdemona]

MONDOR.HAHAHA. Love this.

[15milesintsnow]

Nice one! Although the location for the fight is wrong - they're supposed to have "run" into "Mondor" and reached Laura's cell when the "fright" began, and the "gards" are supposed to have seen "lots of orcs"...but I'm just nit-picking, since I'm a Legolas by Laura purist! XD

[arcdragon224]

@15milesintsnow Good point. Considering we had access to actual real Mondor and two dozen sets of authentic Orc armor, we prolly should've included that footage.

[brownfur15]

thats so funny lol

[ninna5]

I totally love you guys.

[daisyshizzle]

This is my favourite forever :3

[VideoGamingGirl]

So...So beautiful.

; A ;

I'm in tears, I'm laughing too much. xD

[alavonman1324]

lol they speak in 3rd person and such

[alavonman1324]

dude who plays legolas is so funny! Strideerrr what? says he

[paratiisilintu]

I'll never get tired of watching this.

I DEMAND AN ACTUAL MOVIE.

[ChrisLang101]

A movie based on one of the most infamous badly-written fics ever posted on the Internet? Now I've seen everything!

[sokkaismylove]

I love all of you.

[EternityEyes]

The best part of this is how you all performed the lines; same horrible spelling/sentence structure, stellar presentations. :)

[Nanfoodle]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately,you made the fight scene too cool lol

[xYuffiegirlx]

BEST. SHIT. ON. THE. INTERWEBS.

[nazgs]

and then legolas was happy for SOMERISING

[TheOtakuReal]

Pfffft! Hahaha! I love this!

[paratiisilintu]

I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME KIND OF AWARD FOR THIS.

How you guys managed to do this with a straight face, I'll never know.

[rainbowXpersonality]

Oh my gosh, this is so well done. This is the most well done trailer for the most terribly done LotR fanfiction.

[parfaitaiko]

that will be my falut!

[Angrymonkey21]

hahaha that was beautiful

[DominatingPineapple]

SUPPORT TEAM GANDALF'S BEARD. ALSO GANDALF.

[KittyWillCutYou]

This is brilliant. XD

[arcdragon224]

[TheCheerfulMessiah]

The dark lord is a great actor.

[moonannestarr]

This brings me so much joy.



[ScimitarOfFire]

Team Dark Lord for the win!

[UltimateValentine]

MOST QUALITY SWORDFIGHT I HAVE EVER SEEN.

[ItemReceived]

OMG they took the Final Fantasy 8 battle theme XDDDDD

[Poupey]

A great trailer for a great piece of litterature :D

(also the dark lord is sexay :3)

[xlxAngeLxlx]

Oh, my goodness...I cried. I CRIED! ...in a good way...or something or the other.

[amyrose128]

PLEASEEEEEEE make the full movie, lolz! I love it XD

[sound2503]

just so you know, this made my day. xD HE GAVE YOU THE POSION!

[RoseOfHysteria]

The guy that plays Legolas really looks like him... *shot in the head for fangirling*

[UniversalEmily]

I would pay to see this movie. XD Handsome Legolas.

[stephenie27]

Lmao

[Alekx]

Hahahah, this was so amazing.

[CyanideAndSherbet]

i'm not joking,l if I won the lottery i would give you a massive budget to make this feature length

[MrEdgarVargas]

By the by, the dude who plays Legolas is adorable. 

[ShikibuSan]

I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN NOW.

[MrEdgarVargas]

This will never not be the greatest thing ever.

Good job with that.

[adotsdothmusic]

Who's the girl?

[FacelessDeviant]

This needs to be made.

[Shelasgirl]

THIS IS KINDA REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

[Itylsi]

SUCH BEAUTY

[Camillelang]

Oh my gosh I love all of you guys! So perfect! ;A;

[Owlexvictim]

The Lord of the Rings fandom is awesome. Especially when it comes to making fun of its horrible fan fiction.

[ChrisasaurRawr]

So funny!!! Not going to lie, the dude who plays Legolas is cute.

[voteforfran]

I have to say, my favourite scenes are the ones that take place in Mondor. I really love the setting for Milkwood, however: I thought it really illustrated its...milkiness.

[purplecrocodile1]

Perfection.

[legloaslover]

what the hell lool

[IrmaVep]

NO!! NOT THE POSION! D:

[cauldronjinx]

My favorite part of this video is when "the fright began".

[talizorah]

This...this is so amazing. I laughed so hard I could barely breathe. Ah, Legolas by Laura, long may you live on in infamy!

[therealyukino]

YES. GOOD.

[katime123]

not the best i've seen, but pretty good

[Devonfayr]

@katime123 Not the best...as compared to what? Could you provide links? 'cause I can't get enough of this stuff.

[gayahithwen]

I love you guys. Like seriously. Playing it straight is really what highlights the ridiculousness of the story. I esp love the Dark Lord's reaction to his last line. And also "He... protects me... that's why" and the little smile from Legolas at that point. Awesome.

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

For the record, MCR sucks ;-)

[brendansteere]

@TheEgotasticRipoff It's actually funny you mention that, because we purposefully chose music we thought a nine year old would, circa 2004 or 05, when this was probably written. :)

"it should open with creed because there so awesome and close with mrc because theyer soo cool! therrest can just be music four trailers i guess!"

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

@brendansteere aaah. In that case sir...I salute you :)

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

@brendansteere but I still demand an actual movie :)

[brendansteere]

@TheEgotasticRipoff Haha! Mayhaps one day. Mayhaps...

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

@brendansteere awesome? Just don't succumb to the Posion lol

[AgnethaSpencer]

@TheEgotasticRipoff I demand aswell :3 cos it made me laugh out loud rather alot.

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

@AgnethaSpencer This movie going be awesome :)

[AgnethaSpencer]

@TheEgotasticRipoff Hell to the YEAH

can't express my love for this bad fan-fic atm, just pure troll bait.

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

Tell me that there will be a movie :)

[AverageGamerX]

She kinda slamming :-)

[AverageGamerX]

Just curious how old is the girl who plays Laura?

[Windrays]

You guys are heroes. :-D

[liaerili]

Please tell me this is actually going to be done if full!?!??!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

[SoraPeth]

I think...I'm in love with you. All of you. Really.

[SidArthuraSutton]

I have to say it - the dude who plays Legolas is hot

[arcdragon224]

@SidArthuraSutton lol thanks.

[damage999]

pretty cool, nice use of music as well

[myettechase]

WHY IS THIS STORY SUDDENLY SO AWESOME

[NoveltyPineapple]

All I can say is thank you. Thank you so much.

I laughed so hard can I only move on arm.

[arcdragon224]

Laura disliked this video.

[Moobert5434]

Was actually laughing/crying on the floor by the end of this. It's just so amazing XD

[Belecleo]

Somerising spotted.

[sekoboltsi02]

I just wish you guys could've incorporated all the "MEANWHILE"s in this somehow.

[Cassie5squared]

One of the funniest things I've seen for a while. May you continue to mock bad fanfiction relentlessly. :P

[SarcasticHolly]

THIS IS GLORIOUS

[aniretak92]

WANT WHOLE FILM NAO. *weakly laughs* You've laughed me out...

[aniretak92]

"She is so cute"

Me: *bites pillow to muffle laughter*

[RuairidhOhBoi]

Oh my god. This is... this... *bows down* I cannot help but feel that badfic is the most fun when played straight...

Thank you, so much, for this... this... thisness.

[HerrWozzeck]

OMG this is absolutely hilarious! I love it!

By any chance, are you in the mood for doing more trailers based on bad fanfiction?

[Bamonstertje]

My God. This is brilliant. I'm baffled by how funny this is...

'That is my falut' <3

[chelonianmobile]

Gotta love the way the Dark Lord looks completely baffled at what just came out of his mouth at the end XD

[ExterminatorHydrogen]

hahah love it, Laura is your classic mary-sue...

[manwithoutabody]

This is glorious. Thank you.

[arcdragon224]

@manwithoutabody No sir, thank /you/ for being one of our main inspirations for this trailer. Your readings are beyond words.

[arcdragon224]

"because she got a power and she can distoy us all the bad guys"

[IcemanDK]

lolz@all fan fiction

[08fa]

Lol Legolas by Laura. It's the most famous bad fanfic on LOTR.

Good video.

[TheGunpowderBallet]

YESSSSSSS This is PERFECT.

[1shadowwarrior]

loved this. well done, quite silly.



[ScimitarOfFire]

Sheer genius! XD

[Bayne232]

I love this whole thing! Especially how unsure the Dark Lord is at the very end!

[shanbrenahan]

awesome

[dontsayangiee]

That was simply delightful.
