I didnt see a thread on this, or even a mention on the newspost, So I am assuming it is very new. You should all check it out. Its a 20 minute documentry on Minecraft/Mojang done by 2 player productions. Dosent feature the PA crew at all but it does have similar music. Also it has a guy with an animated head for some reason:

    For $30 you basically just get a collector's edition of the movie and your name in the credits. It's pretty much just a super duper preorder.

    Done.

    Hey guys, thanks for starting a thread. We're really excited to be working with Mojang, and i think for those of you familiar with our work this will be the next evolution of our style. It's been a long time since we last tackled a feature length project, but we're ready to jump in. Minecraft is an especially fascinating topic (one we know the PA crew holds dear), and we aim to do right by it.

    It's getting close to the end, but if anyone wants to check out our Kickstarter we have lots of exclusive rewards for anyone interested in being a backer. Plus you'll get updates from us about the films progress throughout the year, so the production blog itself should make for a good read if you are interested in the process.

    We can answer questions here or on the Kickstarter page, if anyone has any. Thanks guys!

    Question! How much do you have done with the project? Like is the kickstart just for production costs or is there more shooting/editing/whatever to do?

    Also whats up with that dudes head?

    All we have right now is what you see in the 20 minute short. The Kickstarter is going to fund the continued production of the film throughout this year, including multiple trips to Mojang in Sweden along with many other locations in the US and abroad, culminating with the "final" version of Minecraft being released. The Kickstarter will also be funding the development, production, and shipping of backer rewards; post-production of the film including an original soundtrack by C418, computer graphics work, audio production, and authoring of the DVD. Etc, etc.

    Junkboy prefers to remain anonymous on the internet, and requested that he be obscured with a pixel avatar. Expect this to continue throughout the feature film as well.

    Hey, 2PP, you asked me if you could use footage for my Enterprise... I don't know if you got my reply saying yes... However, it has grown since then. I can send you new footage :)

    The bridge, with a crewmember

    The front of the saucer section. The white patches are the escape pods. You can see into the decks though the windows.
    saucer1.th.jpg


    The rear of the saucer, you can see the starboard impulse engine is still under construction. On the ground is where we put the griefers.
    suce2.th.jpg


    Looking though the 8th deck, you can see the theater. Screw Hamlet, my Zepplen cover band plays there.
    theaterg.th.jpg


    A look into Hydoponics.

    The Grotto. Still under construction. It will look like a mini Minecraft level when it's done.

    Ahh Halkun, good to hear from you again. Sorry we never got back to you, trying to figure out if we can talk to you for the feature doc. The legal issues with the copyright and everything are a stumbling block we want to sort out. We'll be in touch as the Kickstarter moves forward, glad to see the Enterprise is still coming along.

    2PP still has that uncanny ability to match the music and screen action while making a documentary that keeps you glued to the screen.

    If you were gonna drop that kind of paper you shoulda bumped it up to five hundo and got the pig box. Then you could have posted pictures for us all!

    My enjoyment is worth $149 more of your dollars to me.
