There are less than four months left until the premiere of Paramount’s Iron Man movie but in the meantime you can feast your eyes on this fan film created by David Guivant. It’s not so much a movie as it is the opening title sequence for an Iron Man TV series, made in the spirit of Sandy Collora’s Batman Dead End and World’s Finest.
David created this on a shoestring budget over a period of a couple of years and it features Tony Stark as Iron Man, plus it includes Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan, The Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, Nick Fury AND The Mandarin. Not only that, but it’s chock full of special effects, which believe it or not are all 2D and not 3D.
It’s been a labor of love for him and I encourage you to check it out below!

C’est pas vraiment un court métrage alors, c’est un generique, ok. C’aurait pas été plus rapide de travailler avec After Effects ? Je conçois bien que le côté bricolage/image par image est très amusant à faire, mais tu aurais gagné pas mal de temps à faire ça avec un logiciel fait pour le travail de post production video ! C’est un super boulot que tu as fait, mais si au lieu de passer 1 an et demi à le faire tu avais passé un mois et demi, ç’aurait été bien plus impressionnant !
C’est un court-métrage sous forme de générique. ca change un peu des autres teasers et trailers habituels. Je suis Illustrateur et designer par formation, ce ne me dérange pas de faire avec photoshop et aussi en dehors de mes heures de travail respectives. Quand on a la passion et la patiente on oublie le temps et c’est le résultat qui compte en plus c’est gratuit pour visionner , 100 % dans l’esprit de Marvel. Est ce que tu voudrais me donner un coup de main sur mon prochain court-métrage et si c’est possible de me refiler ce logigiel s’il te plait?
Je suis d’accord que si on a la passion et la patience, le temps ne compte pas !
Le logiciel, tu peux le trouver un peu partout sur le net. C’est un produit Adobe.
David,
I’m still waiting for your reply, meantime vist my webste. . . .

Thanks LIZ, the Invincible Iron Man Fan film may be screened at several sci-fi conventions / Los Angeles / Australia and New Zealand. In April a short article next to Jon Favreau will be published in KHIMAIRA MAGAZINE:
Hi David… was your IIMFF picked up for the WonderCon Marvel presentation in San Francisco this weekend? I think you said you had written to them. Jon will be there and I am hoping he will show yours and the new trailer too.
Ahhh…. IM will soon be here!!!
No it wasn’t. It’s gonna be screened in AUSTRALI and NEW ZEALAND instead. The actors who did a wonderful job without any drama training wish to thank you all for the cool feedback and welcome you to NEW CALEDONIA if one day you want to come and visit our ISLAND for a vacation under the tropical Sun.
Great Fan film! On the mark. True to the original Iron theme. Thumbs up!

COOL NEWS, the IRON MAN FAN FILM is gonna be screened in Australia at the SUPANOVA CONVENTION. (Melbourne and Bribane !!)
Great! When will that be?
Will you also be releasing it on the web at the same time? Or maybe distribute it on torrent sites?

How the hell do you do it? you guys ROCK!!
Well, a good understanding of the Marvel Universe and it’s characters will make it easier to handle and deliver something good. Too bad we didn’t have the same amount of cash and workforce as Hollywood.
But all the actors did a great job portraying the Marvel characters even without any drama training.
Even Stan Lee and the Avengers had a cameo in the film.
The rest is only 2D frame by frame Illustrations and 1 and a half year of post-production on weekends.
100% Free to watch and free to enjoy !!
Thanks again on behalf of the Skeleton cast and crew.
I’m really looking forward to the Iron Man movie. I’m thinking it will be the best Marvel film ever made to date.
