Topic: Sliders Fan Films/Vids Index and Recommendations.

After much thought and talk on the thread about Lego Sliders I thought a new thread that can function as an index for such might be a good idea/useful.

Let's limit it to one Fan Vid/Film per post so that we can post a Link and write a Synopsis/Blurb.

Good Idea? Bad Idea? Let me know.

First Vid is a Spin Off Fan Work that follows Conrad Bennish Junior as he rediscovers Sliding while following in Quinn's work.

I have not seen more than the Intro yet as my Data Allowance on Phone is low so will watch when I can downlooad it as 30 minutes is better in one smooth flow rather than You Tube's juddery streaming and Connection Lost messages and cut outs.

Neat idea. It would be great to have everything in one place - easy to find and watchable.



Fan trailer of Sliders if JJ Abrams was involved...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ly2S_Ppnms

What if you found a portal into a paralel universe. What if you could slide into a thousand different worlds? And what if you couldn't find your way home? A film directed by J J Abrams, produced by christopher Noaln. Based on the 90's TV show of the same name. Hayden Christensen stars as Quinn Malory.. a genius who gets lost after creating a portal into parralel dimensions.

This is a fictional 'fan' trailer.... this is purely to show what 'could be' and to show that this film needs to be made... its a great original idea with so many great prospects... come on universal.... get your butts in gear. It is a purely non profit exercise and is in no way intended to be for financial gain.

French fan trailer and part 1 of their fan film (with subtitles) - which seems like a reconstruction of the concept / pilot. But instead of alternate earths, the group jump into alternate movies and TV shows.

Ah! It finally got Subtitled! That's good news!
Just have to hope that now I can understand it I will enjoy it! smile

I'll check out the JJ Abrams one too!

Re: Sliders Fan Films/Vids Index and Recommendations.

Here is the Fan Video Sequel to the Conrad Bennish Junior Fan Vid I posted near the top of the page.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFPlW0um … ata_player 

It's on the same You Tube Account eg: Willisvision

I've downloaded the first Fan Film which was about 50 MB with a roughly 30 Minute runtime and I will watch it soon.

This sequel Film though is only a 14 Minute runtime but is nearly 90 MB in size which is too much for me to download so I will probably watch it on You Tube Direct after I watch the first Fan Film.

I'll post a review when I'm done.

I look forward to your thoughts and those of ourr fellow Sliders Fans too on both the Conrad Bennish Stuff and the other Vids too! smile

Was about to watch this and what do you know.... Connection lost! sad

Happens a lot. Not so bad with short stuff but try getting fifteen or twenty minutes into a Vid of greater length and then get that message!

Anyway.... Noticed something on the comments panel which I thought bore mentioning for the board and ireactions in particular.

It has been said that a New Sliders Series would not be viable for an audience of around twenty Sliders fans which sounds reasonable as there are not howling hordes of us here on this BBS/Site.... BUT.... Just read those comments.

Many people love Sliders whether Old Fans or New passing Viewers!

They just are not as die hard as us is all. The fact is though we should not become disheartened or draw misconceptions just based on the membership of our Site Here.

For what it is worth though I do have the Sliders Anniversary and this Site and Earth Prime up on my Sig on Spacebattles.com so that whenever I post both Sliders and this Site etc get advertising and hopefully draw both Old and New Sliders Fans here. smile

I think promotion whether Minor and Subtle or Big and Overt is something which can only help the Sliders Fan Community and Commercial Franchise.

Re: Sliders Fan Films/Vids Index and Recommendations.

Ok... Signal Worked this Time so the JJ Abrams Style Fan Vid.....

It is Exciting I'll give it that but it doesn't touch on the Sense of Curious Wonder that made Season 1 & 2 so Special which is a Shame.

The Skyline footage felt out of place to be honest but I did think the Jumper Footage blended well with the actual Sliders Clips. smile

I don't think I like the idea of Hayden as Quinn though as while he can do Broody he is not the most expressive Actor.... Whatever Faults Jerry O'Connel may have had he could do animated and enthused well, especially when he had John Rhyss Davies on hand as a Mentor and Colleague.

Overall not a bad little Fan Effort but still left me feeling it needed tweaks.

Re: Sliders Fan Films/Vids Index and Recommendations.

Ok so this is not a Fan Vid with Acting by Fans and a Script and it's not a Fan Edited Trailer for a Movie or Reboot..... It is however a Really Heart Warming Tribute from the You Tube Account of Julieluthor in honour of the Original Four Sliders.

I really enjoyed it and it brought back good feelings.

How can you be 9-10 posts deep on this thread and not mention Nonchalant Sliders?

THE GREATEST SLIDERS

Black guy dies first. big_smile

In all seriousness, I applaud the effort and time that was placed into piecing Nonchalant Sliders together on a limited budget. I loved the use of the props, the actor who played Arturo stood out for me in the way he attempted to portray the mannerisms and articulation of the characters, doubles were filmed and handled exceptionally well, and the sliding effect was so cute I wanted to hug it! Loved it.

My main criticism stems from the fact that I have just watched the entire thing back-to-back and it's apparent that the overall running time could have been reduced - by a heck of a lot. If you remove the entire dream sequence, Quinn tinkering in the basement (which took up almost 3 - 4 parts), and trimmed some of the dialogue, then immediately both the flow and feel of the project drastically improves.

And it's hard not to nitpick this part, but I personally would have chosen a different story route for Rembrandt. If the actor wasn't available for anything other than his introduction, then it could have been written that he didn't end up in the vortex in this version, rather than the strange 'he's stuck somewhere' then, 'taken prisoner' angles. Though I adored the effort that the guys tried to put into that death scene, it felt a little hollow since they didn't even meet the guy, let alone know him!

But anyway, a nice job. They did good.

Re: Sliders Fan Films/Vids Index and Recommendations.

This evening I went down the rabbit hole that is YouTube trying to see if there were any hidden fan films or projects done that I hadn't come across yet. Hit a brick wall, and was about to give up before I found this little number:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EiAxj_QO1k

In the middle of the night, Wade gets a phone call from her friend Quinn asking her to come over. The next day Wade goes over to investigate, just to find out Quinn is up to another one of his experiments. But things quickly change when Quinn opens a vortex to another world and pushes Wade through the aperture.
