Machinima On The Horizon

Posted by Hemos on from the eye-candy dept.

Anonymous Coward writes " Just giving ya the heads up that over @ the ILL Clan's site. They've released their latest Quake II machinima piece entitled Hardly Workin'. Very impressive stuff. Directed by their group lead, ILL Robinson (who's an Emmy award winner, btw), it looks like this Machinima stuff is actually becoming a medium of its own. The convergence of filmmaking, animation & game development all rolled into one! Its fun to watch & even more impressive that it was all created in the Quake II engine. "

  1. Off-Topic: "Machinima?" by ewhac · · Score: 4

    The term Machinima is clearly an amalgam of the words "machine" and "cinema." I don't know who coined it, but it doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

    I think a better term would have been Mechanime (mechanical anime).

    One of the best machinima ever, imho, is the Seal of Nehahra for Quake1. It is an amazing four hour long Quake movie. One of the best pieces of work ever to be produced on the Quake Engine. If you still have Quake1 installed, I highly recommend a DL. The "sequel" to the movie is an actual mod, one that is also very well worth a download. Nehahra:: Link
