Shrek Retold is a crowdsourced, scene-for-scene remake of Shrek made by over 200 creators, each redoing a short section in their own style.

Mentioned as an example of a crowd-made reproduction of a film whose quality varies wildly.

In the book analogy it's closer to transcribing an audio book. In the film analogy, it's closer to Shrek Retold[1](ignoring parody). [1] Shrek Retold [VIDEO]

Shrek Retold [VIDEO] is a similar fan-made reproduction, but it's way more polished. The movie is split into roughly 1min sections, with each one done by a different creator. The quality is all over the place, in a hilarious way. One minute it's produced by a professional animator nailing the scenes, then the next minute it's people goofing around in their backyard.

I'm definitely looking at the example set by hare with interest[0]. Also unironically love Shrek. I once hosted a viewing party of Shrek Retold[1] in my tiny NYC apartment :D [0] [LINK] [1] [VIDEO]
