Posted by simoniker on from the pretty-real-time-pictures dept.

TheNomad writes "Made in Fountainhead Entertainment's Quake III-based tool, Machinimation, 'Anna' is a real-time generated machinima showing the story of a single flower's life, from birth to - well, I won't spoil it for you. There's a showcase of the film over at Machinima.com, and they also have a download page, as well as a FilePlanet mirror." We've recently run an interview with Katherine Anna Kang, Fountainhead boss and ex-id software employee, and also discussed the 2003 Machinima Film Festival Awards, in which 'Anna' won several awards.

    Most Machinima movies are released in video format. Not many Machinima makers do their editing in-game anymore.

    Did you try xine with all win32 codecs? WMV's generally work for me there. And build it yourself instead of getting a binary package, that may help as well.
