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 [this video]
Shrek Retold [this 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.
Polished crowd-made reproduction of Shrek in minute-long sections with wildly varying quality.
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] [this video]
