The judges have posted their results and they’ve been officially tallied. I asked them to rate the videos based on video editing/quality, sound editing/audio quality, and storyline. It was a really close call, but Pinkhair won with Tree Things Happen, and Legs came in second place with Out in the Cold. Pinkhair will receive the […]

Lately, you can’t browse anywhere without seeing an article on the resurgence of 3D movies in Hollywood. The truth is that at $25 USD per ticket to some shows, as well as a $15 million up-front production cost, and only 1,300 out of 40,000+ theater screens receiving the $100,000 USD per screen upgrade, it’s going […]

Look out, Martin Falch. Percula is poised to overtake your position as the most beloved WoW machinimator. To add insult to injury, he did it in just 8 minutes of machinima.
What is this movie that I refer to? The Craft of War: Blind appeared the day after Christmas, December 26th, 2008, and would shock the […]

Earlier this week, we asked you to look deep into your souls for an answer to a seriously debatable topic - amateur vs. professional machinima. Only six people participated and none commented, so I’d like to leave it up for debate for another week or more. I would prefer to know why they voted the […]

So Khail here thought it would be fun for us all to write about cosplay in our respective machinima platforms. Boy, let me tell you. Thank goodness it’s Friday. After steeling myself with much liquor and bleach, I set off to find World of Warcraft examples of this horrifying trend. However, I figured that I […]

If you’ve never had the opportunity to see Video Games Live, you’re seriously missing out. VGL is a symphony of video game music, put on by video game composers Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, and performed by your local orchestra. The result is actually a moving experience for many, like myself. If they’re not playing […]

We’re on our last contest entry to showcase. Lord Corinth submitted a parody (I think) of The Matrix, The Northrend. The protagonist, Leo, has a chance meeting with Florpheus, who lets him know that he is The One … to go to Northrend.
Due to its length, I don’t want to give away too much of […]

2008 was a glorious year for machinima, and machinimators as well. Even though the medium is over 10 years old, it hasn’t seen this kind of widespread recognition at this kind of rate. This weekend, I’ll be looking at some of the top stories and videos of 2008, but first I’d like to list some […]

Sokar408 recently asked whether you could export the World of Warcraft environment. Unfortunately, he didn’t elaborate on this, so I’m going to address it from multiple angles. The short answer is no.
First of all, I’ve stated this before, but private servers are very against the Blizzard ToS. Second, WoW Map Viewer, which allowed you to […]
