<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Since it's release, we've received some lovely comments about 'Judge Minty'. With permission, we've collected a few into this image, if only to show some of the people who gave their time to the project, and may not be aware them.</span></div>

I didn't post this on this blog when it first happened, despite being super cool news, because I wanted to focus on the two recent screenings until they were over.<br />
<br />
Judge Minty has won both, 'Best Action Film' and the 'Audience Award' at the <a href="http://wastelandweekend.com/wasteland-film-festival" target="_blank">Wasteland Film Festival</a>, which is part of <a href="http://wastelandweekend.com/" target="_blank">Wasteland Weekend</a>.<br />
<br />
It's always great whenever an event selects Minty for screening, but to win something is amazing. Especially at such a stunning event as <a href="http://wastelandweekend.com/" target="_blank">Wasteland Weekend</a>.<br />
<br />
<i><b>"Join over a thousand fans coming from all over the the United States (and beyond) to gather in the Southern California desert for a four-day post-apocalyptic party.

Live for four days in a world pulled straight out of the Mad Max movies, beyond the grip of so-called civilisation.

We are very happy to finally announce that our fan film, Judge Minty, is now online and available to view for free via youtube. I've embedded the movie below, or you can click the link to view on youtube.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The making of this film has been VERY much a team effort and on behalf of 'the producers' of Judge Minty I would like to thank all the people that gave their time to contribute to this project. We have been extremely lucky to have received a huge amount of support from both fellow Dredd fans and also professional film makers, who have given their time, expertise and advice for free.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I would like to give a special mention to Steve Green, who both shot the film and produced the digital effects, meaning he has spent more time working on the project than any other person. Also Daniel Carey-George, whose props and costumes not only provided the initial inspiration for the project, but also helped to create 'a reality' for the story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And of course Edmund Dehn, for taking a chance on our little fan film, helping us bring Minty to life and also providing the heart of the film.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
At a later date, I am hoping to go in to more detail with a proper 'Thank You' post about the great work individual people contributed, but I wanted to keep this post relatively short, and there are so many people to thank.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We would also like to give special thanks to the owners of Judge Dredd and 2000 AD, Rebellion who have allowed us to 'play with their toys' and especially for their consent for the public screenings at festivals and conventions.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">With all the rushing around at festivals and convention screenings, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the guys at 2000AD and Rebellion for all their help and support throughout the making of Judge Minty.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Over the past few months we've been inundating them with permission requests for public screenings from all over the world.

<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Thank you to all the people who have taken the time to come and see Judge Minty at it's first three screenings. We've had lots of great feed back on the film. Both shows at Leeds Film Festival and Thought Bubble were well attended with very positive audience reaction.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
A third cast and crew screening on Saturday 17th of November was also attended by a number of 2000AD creators including our Dredd, Greg Staples and Judge Dredd co-creator - John Wagner. As nerve racking as it was to have a screening with so many important Dredd creators, any other screening will seem calm in comparison. It was also a cool atmosphere for Minty lead man Edmund Dehn to watch the film for the first time.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
John Wagner was kind enough to describe the film as 'brilliant'.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
A big thank you to Lisa and Clark for allowing us to screen at Thought Bubble and for organising another amazing convention. And of course thanks to Rebellion for giving us permission to show the film, which we need for all public screenings.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
I've had a quick look on the net for some reviews and found these. It's been great to hear comments on some of the more subtle aspects of the film which I thought would only be noticed if someone watched it a couple of times. There are some eagle eyed Dredd fans out there!</div>

I would have liked to have composed a longer and more in depth account of the the screenings and all the people we spoke with, but we are immediately back to work. We are now researching suitable events to submit Minty to for screening. There is no secret master plan or schedule. Up until this point we have been completely focused of finishing the film, so have not been actively looking into screening opportunities. We are thinking globally and as soon as we have any firm dates we will announce them.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Judge William Minty has spent his entire adult life policing the violent streets of Mega-City One - and now he's slowing down. When a lapse of judgement almost ends his life, he knows that it's time to quit. He can choose to teach in the Academy, or he can leave the city and walk alone out into the anarchy of the Cursed Earth, taking law to the lawless.</span><br />

We will be planning more showings as soon as opportunities become available. We are hoping to submit to a number of international film festivals. For some of these a requirement is that the film has not been released on the internet. This will delay making Judge Minty available to view on the internet for a little while. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">As immensely flattering as it is for the Judge costumes used in our fan film to be compared alongside those created for <a href="http://dreddthemovie.com/" target="_blank">the official new Dredd film</a>, we thought we'd take a moment to say why we think the uniforms created for the <a href="http://dreddthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Karl Urban film</a> are <b>excellent</b>.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">When we were initially deciding the visual style of the Judge costumes for Minty (created by Daniel Carey-George), we also seriously considered contemporising the look of Dredd, by bringing his uniform more inline with current body armour technology and scaling down some of the more extravagant elements. We even bought numerous items of riot gear.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Eventually we decided that as our film was aimed soley at fans, we did not need to contend with the problems that an unusual costume would cause the viewer's 'will to suspend disbelief'. Because our audience were already well versed in the visual language of Dredd, we could try to emulate the comic book look more closely. We are extremely happy with the costumes Dan created.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Needless to say, if we had been trying to appeal to a larger general audience, we would have <b>DEFINITELY</b> chosen the same route as <a href="http://dreddthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Alex Garland</a> and could have only hoped to have created a costume as cool as <a href="http://dreddthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Karl Urban's</a>.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Also, although we have tried to make Judge Minty as gritty and dark as possible, it is still very much set in a fantasy world. As opposed to <a href="http://dreddthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Alex Garland's Dredd</a> which appears to have a much more hard hitting, real world feel, where Dredd's uniform needs to be instantly believable.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">We are all very much looking forward to <a href="http://dreddthemovie.com/" target="_blank">the new Dredd film</a> and the more we see, the better it looks!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">To explain in greater detail why we believe the new Dredd costume works, we will hand over to Minty cast member, John Burdis. The extract below is taken from an article published on <a href="http://2000ad.wordpress.com/2011/08/01/the-dredd-movie-uniform-why-it-works/" target="_blank">"Everything comes back to 2000AD" in August of 2011.</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Finally, having looked at the pictures in Empire and digested everything that I need from them I have decided to comment and Grud says, ‘it’s all good’.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Before I go any further I should add that I’m a massive Dredd fan, have a few minor parts in the upcoming Judge Minty fan film (also worn ‘that’ uniform) and I’m also ex forces. This will help you understand where I am coming from with the whole uniform. Also a bit of advice for anyone not knowledgeable with the Military and the wearing of uniforms, you get issued two types, work and parade. Many people try and slightly alter the works uniform just to make themselves look a little better and usually are met with the phrase “it’s not a F**KING fashion parade!” on inspection.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Above all these uniforms are NOT bespoke, you get the size or nearest size to your size, that’s life!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">First up, the complete package! Helmet, badges, leathers, pads, Lawgiver and colour scheme, it’s all there and it looks like a real uniform that could be worn on the streets, to fight crime! Above all, that is what the uniform is for and so we don’t need to see the extremes of certain artists work up on the big screen.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Having not read the script (why would I want to spoil the surprise) but sadly not being able to escape the gist of the storyline, this uniform seems to be from the early stages of Mega City One (check the first appearance of Dredd in 2000AD). Because of this, it has to be practical, hard wearing, easy to wear and distinctive in a crowd.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Helmet – When issued these you would be issued a stock size for your head, this is taken from the circumference of your head and nothing else. It’s not made individually for your face and therefore some may not look right but they’re not there to be all nice and pretty. It’s there to protect primarily and secondly to help you stand out in a crowd to let the public see you, if they need your help. When that first picture came out, screams of its too big flooded the net. I knew it was mainly down to the angle of the picture and the bespoke point above.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Looking at the pic of four Judges in Empire on page 98, you can see this point. Lex has part of his cheeks in shadow and there is light between the bottom of the helmet and neck protector, so the helmet looks big. Alvarez looks spot on, his dark skin blends with the shadows and his neck protector is higher and goes up behind the back of the helmet, making it look smaller.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">The Judge stood at the rear looks absolutely perfect. The smaller Judge, well I take you to my point about being issued your helmet. If the helmet is your size then unlucky that’s the one you will be issued!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">One last thing about the helmet, the cross section that covers the nose. I know many people will say it hinders your ability to see properly. Well similar designs have been used through the ages, just look at the Greeks/Normans/Vikings/etc… It’s a tried and tested design!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Let’s compare it to the modern day and the wearing of a respirator, I had to be able to fast rope down from a chinook wearing it, move through corridors/rooms/stairwells, etc… I also had to be able use my primary and secondary weapons, with it’s restrictive view. Now how was I able to do that? Training is how but unlike the Judges I didn’t train for 15 years wearing it!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Leathers/Body Armour – Spot on with the hard wearing, contact parts being reinforced and the areas where you need to breathe being made more accomodating (around the crotch – look at the cover). You can also see tiny holes around the body armour, probably to help keep you cool by wicking moisture away from you. You have to make a stand between protection and comfort and protection will always come out on top!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Shoulder Pads – Perfect for what is needed. As has been said by many a fan, these are as close to the original version of the Judges uniform as we have seen in a long time, close fitting and protective! There are no snag points on these (an eagle, like in the comic would be a massive snag point), so you can shoulder barge your way through bodies and doorways without worrying about being slowed down. The eagle is embossed on the right hand shoulder, which is great and they are functional. They’ve even made them gold in colour, what more do you need! Some have mentioned the sloping shoulders, I take you to the point at the top, again!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Badges – The name badge reminds me of Stallone’s a little and I can live with that. It’s functional, flat (no hero badges here) and sunk into the chest armour (no snag points) so it’s another practical part of the uniform. Okay, there’s no chain but that’s a grab point for a perp in close quarter combat and is a big no-no. Just look at the amount of clip on ties that have to be worn in certain jobs nowadays because it’s a grab point enabling the wearer to be choked, similar stuff!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Elbow/Knee Pads – These look as though they are more than just the pads, with a sleeve protector added, to fit over the leather. They seem to have fastners at the top of the sleeve as well but I can’t be sure from the pictures. These would probably end up being damaged the most through everyday use in Mega City One, so it’s best that they can be slipped off and exchanged easily.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Boots – These look quite flexible for ease of movement while still providing enough protection on the streets. Notice there is no boot holster, do you really think that would work. The Lawgiver Mk I might have just about got away with it but there is no way the MK II would and especially the beast Urban is carrying in this.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;">Colour Scheme – This is spot on with the helmet, the black/blue of the leathers, gold shoulder pads and green boots, knee and elbow pads</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="http://2000ad.wordpress.com/2011/08/01/the-dredd-movie-uniform-why-it-works/" target="_blank">For the complete version of this article, please click here.</a></span><br />
