Witcher - Mines of Eeclor - Shortfilm - Shot in a real mine
Witcher in the North visits the ravaged town of Thoduras to help the locals battle a monster in the mines. But not all is as it seems. It's not the Netflix one!
This was a fun project, a fanfilm for the universe of the Witcher with a bit of a northern vibe as we are from Finland.
Shot this little project actually before the Netflix series but as we are slow as hell, we just released it to youtube. Managed to get into an actual mine here in Finland (Tytyri Elämyskaivos, that's under 70 meters) so that's why it looks nice and grungy :) A very special thanks also to Rosala Viking Center as our backdrop to the town. It's always a struggle shooting fantasy fanfilms with no budget but somehow we managed to pull this off and only costing us in the range of 3-4k of euros. Most of that went to gasoline and equipment.
