Posted by simoniker on from the mach-one dept.

ILL Clinton writes "A few notable events in the world of real-time moviemaking within 3D game environments, otherwise known as Machinima-- The Hamburg, Germany digital film festival, bitfilm, has added Machinima as a submission category. Also a new online magazine, MachiniMag recently launched. G4TV is airing, Ours Again by Nathan Moller. Plus, the ILL Clan has announced that their new Machinima series will launch this month, you can see a funny outtake clip from the production involving killer elevator doors. (as my name suggests, I work with the ILL Clan.)"

    You can see Apartment Huntin' in it's original form by playing this .dem file in original Quake. You're right, the link to the demo file was deleted when we redesigned the movies page.

    AH was made back in 1999, by the way. : )
    Funny story: L & L are lumberjacks because we used the original Quake Marine, and he only had a gun or an axe. So we went with the axes.

  2. Most excited about HL2 by junkgrep · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm most excited about HL2 at this point for seeing some really good machima. The game is probably the first with the capability for player/actors to control their facial expressions, script in complex gestures and body language, interact with objects realistically, and so on. The devs seem to have made the game with machima in mind, with programable camera pans and all sorts of in engine editing goodies. Can't wait.
