Sweded Films are recreations of famous films using limited resources and technology. The films are typically much shorter in length approximately lasting up to 4 minutes.
Films that were erased and recreated are referred to as having been sweded
A film that involves sweded films is be kind, rewind. Where does the name sweded come from?
Be Kind Rewind is a VHS rental store and is due to be demolished to make way for high-end development as the owner leaves.
After Jerry (Jack Black) attempts to sabotage a nearby electrical substation, it leaves him magnetised. As he enters the store the next day, he inadvertently erases all the VHS tapes in the store.
Mike (Mos Def), quickly discovers the disaster and becomes under pressure as customers begin to come into rent films
Mike comes up with an idea: , he proposes to recreate the film using himself and Jerry as the actors and cheap special effects hoping to fool them.
As more requests for movies unfold, Mike, Jerry, and Alma quickly pass off these movies they are creating to meet the demands as being "sweded", insisting the films came from Sweden and thus able to demand long wait times and higher costs for the rental.
Sweding Film ideas
Films I came across that were really effective:
This sweded film is actually from be kind re-wind.
I think personally for a film idea Ghostbusters of Forrest Gump would work well. Ghostbusters could be effective, especially when creating the ghosts part to it. Forrest Gump has a lot of key effects like 'run forrest run' which could be played around with.
I have found two sweded versions of forrest Gump which I both think have good features about them.
