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.

    Does anyone have this file in a non-wmv9 file format (i.e. some kind soul who's converted it) or have suggestions on getting wmv9 to work well under linux? My MPlayer (1.0pre5) doesn't seem to like it. Nor VLC (0.7) for that matter.
