2005 Halo Machinima Award Winners

Posted by Zonk on from the what's-a-puma? dept.

ThatWeasel writes "It was announced on /. almost two months ago and now, finally, the 3rd Annual 'Rockets on Prisoner' Awards have announced this year's Winners. Several video segments have been produced documenting the Nominees and Winners, along with the acceptance speeches from the lucky few who will be receiving golden Master Chief statues for their excellent work in Machinima. With awards Ceremonies like this, who needs the Oscars?"

  1. Dear lord, those sucked by Aqua+OS+X · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know this may come across as flame bate, but damn, some of those were downright painful to watch.

    I don't really have a problem with Red Vs. Blue. Those guys can be fairly funny. But man, I found myself actually felling embarrassed for some of the directors (?) of those machinema flicks.

    They weren't good, and they weren't bad enough to be funny. They were just kind of, umm, "uncomfortable" bad.

    Now, for good machinema, watch Summoner Geeks

  2. Machinima's a great new art form... by Myself · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wish I could go attend this! I hope they produce a DVD "best-of" release or something. Because downloading and installing and tweaking all the drivers to render it locally would be a pain in the ass.

    Anyway, folks who're into novel uses of existing technology should take a look at Notacon, a yearly tech gathering in Ohio. You know you want to enter the Anything But Ethernet contest!

    If there's interest from the Machinima community, I'm sure some projector time could be arranged. If some experienced animators would like to submit a presentation, the Call For Proposals is open! I'd love to see a public screening of a few films, and maybe an intro-and-how-to.
