Red vs Blue Sweeps Machinima Awards

Posted by timothy on from the fightin'-colors dept.

TheNomad writes "The Machinima Film Festival 2003 is over, and the results from the awards are in. Red Vs Blue swept the awards with 3 awards for "Best Independent Film", "Best Writing" and "Best Picture". Katherine Anna Kang's firm Fountainhead did very well too, with wins for "Best Direction", "Best Commercial Machinima", "Best Technical Achievement" and "Best Visual Design". Most of the films are available now, and there is a whole bunch of coverage of the event (with pictures) over at Machinima.com."

    I'd like to see the one from Fountainhead, in particular, but it's only accessible via the digital abortion known as FilePlanet.

    Sure, I decide to download the last few Red vs. Blue episodes that I have not yet seen. I decide to do it on a monday night, because, hey, who downloads Red vs. Blue on a Monday?

    Apparently everyone on Slashdot...

    Thanks a heap. (I can't even find bittorrent links - bugger!)

  6. Very influential by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think Red vs. Blue really deserves this sort of recognition... It's had quite a lot of influence, and at every Halo party i've been to in the last month, we have, in all seriousness, called them "Pumas". I don't know what's next: "Ok, who's the cheap bastard with Shiela?"

    They awarded the ChupaThingy (you mean the Puma?) best supporting actor, very narrowly beating out Shiela the Tank
