Machinima gets its wings
Machinima is the 'art' of using a games engine to create animations. One of my favourite is 'Red vs Blue' which uses the Halo (and now Halo2) engine to produce their animations.
Now I think Machinima is coming of age with the release of Episode 1 of Bloodspell
This is a real labour of love from the crew who have put in about three years of unpaid, hard labour to produce every aspect of the movie - music, plot characters, graphics, and the blood sweat and tears of producing the raw footage never mind editing it!
There is a surge of interest in home-brew video and creative content (ie. what big media companies call product). The likes of YouTube, Google Video, Flickr, Blogs and podcasting have made people realise that they can produce something relevant and fresh and creative and help push the boundaries.
Bloodspell is a bigger, more organised part of that - a sort of ad-hoc guild. Heres to the future.
