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 ran across Red vs Blue a while ago, they are funny as hell; and not just geek-gamer humor.

    Creative new ideas, good job guys!

    Because the second one listed is a "firm" which leads me to believe it was one shop with multiple, perhaps quite a few entries. Of that, I would guess that none of their individual films won more than two awards.

    The early episodes are beyond comparison, very top notch stuff.

    However, as the season gets on, the writing seems to degrade noticeably and the plot gets a little wonky at the end when Church decides to do that thing he does (avoiding spoilage).

    I'd advise them to slow down a bit, produce fewer episodes and take us back to the excellent writing of the first 5 episodes.
