Fan Film Work
Wieber became enamored of the Star Wars franchise when he saw the special effects in the film Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, which he characterizes as "spectacular". He began mimicking the Star Wars special effects using his Canon GL-1 camcorder and a PC that he built using two AMD microprocessors, each of which ran at 1.67 GHz in clock speed. His portfolio grew to include a number of different light-saber battles, including a short clip of showing Wieber fighting himself. He also managed has his friends star in videos in which they would shoot "force lightning" from their hands.

Famous quotes containing the words fan, film and/or work:
“A matchmaker after a wedding is like a fan after autumn.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
“Whether outside work is done by choice or not, whether women seek their identity through work, whether women are searching for pleasure or survival through work, the integration of motherhood and the world of work is a source of ambivalence, struggle, and conflict for the great majority of women.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
