Actually, to go back on my first statement a tiny bit, there was a movie done with the Quake 1 engine (the name of which escapes me) that was essentially a cop/buddy 70's flick. It was pretty damn funny, and pushed the envelope of what you could do with the Quake Engine, too. Plus everybody had big square afros.:) Anyone remember the "film" I'm talking about?
Is it just me, or are these Strange Company characters more than a little full of themselves? Other than the Ill Clan, I can't think of any Machinima I've seen that has been worth half a damn. Plus, for such a "fast" system of filmmaking, most of these machinima producers seem to take their own sweet time actually coming out with any real product. When they do, its a victim of its own hype. For example, look at the Matrix series. "You have to see it for yourself", the banner declares. Well, I did, and here's what I thought:
Amazing. Trinity runs across a room, and a computer explodes. That's just about the most innovative thing ever. Whoop.
I don't think Hollywood has anything to worry about in the near future.
