Out in the Cold

As I've mentioned a million times, Legs' work is some of my favorite in machinima. Her latest submission is no exception.

I've been waiting patiently for a stream since the 24th when it was finished, but Legs was having difficulty uploading it to m.com, and needed admin assistance to finally get it online. It was submitted to the m.com Christmas contest and is stunningly beautiful, and very sweet. If you haven't seen it yet, give a look.

If comedies are more your thing, check out Northrend Wonderland by Fireboltpro. You won't be disappointed and when a movie about slaughter across Northrend can put a smile on your face and make you feel holiday cheer... it's doing it right.

Candy Corns and Crackhorses

I know I've been quiet a while. IFAP2 is currently on semi-hold until I receive the rest of my voice files, otherwise it would probably have been completed and released last month. But until then I decided to take a few days and throw into the machinima.com Candy Corns and Crackheads contest.

I'm not usually much of a contest person anymore. The last contest I entered anything in was "He Will Redeem Us", and that was a year ago... but this one looked like a bit of fun and complete silliness.

The name of the short machinima is "The Munchies." If you are looking for a masterpiece of art, you will probably be disappointed. Okay, very disappointed. It was a three day project solely around the idea that if the horse machinima could win an award at a film festival and be nominated for others... anything with horses must be artistically inspired. So it's a lot of injoke that I think anyone who has seen the horse machinima can understand.

In the meanwhile, if you want to see a machinima with some very nice editting, check out Legs' new Route 440. If you ask her, she will say this is her worst machinima to date - it has no plot or reason, but the editting is stunning and enjoyable.

Also, there were the winners of the WCM Halloween contest. The winner, "The Orchard" was shot well, even though the ending for me needed nothing more than "I wonder how her apples are so good?!" to figure out. For me, the thing about this machinima that really made it stand out was Caruu's sound design. Sound design isn't something most people really take notice of, but when done this well, it adds so much to the movie. If you don't know by now, Caruu is a professional sound designer that often lends his voice and talents to machinima. He also loves the horse machinima. (Don't kill me, Caruu. *cower*)

In any case, enjoy or try to enjoy, "The Munchies." ;)

Olibith Tribute

Khandy released her second installment of "What Else Is On?" this week, a tribute to our favorite pervy gnome, Olibith. Originally, I was feeling crappy for a week and passed on the opportunity to do a short for it, then went "*bonk* what the hell where you thinking?"

My tribute for Olibith had to include fangirls, a gnome, and nudity... how else could you even start to make one?? I mean really! It's Olibith we are talking about here!



It has it's flaws, but considering I threw it together in one evening, I think it came out alright. =) I'd also like to thank Justin Miller, who did the voice acting for the troll. The samples he's sent me for just about everything are pretty damn awesome.



In any case, I hope you enjoy mine and all the other machinimists who contributed. The last four clips are from myself, Silet, Legs and Mark Gilbert, respectively. Much love to Khandy for putting the whole project together.

And as for Olibith... love the gnome. Be one with the gnome... especially if you love hent- err... love machinima.

(Oh, and Matt for googling pictures of cameras for me. He demanded to be credited! Short Circuit porn for all! Wait, that's not it... oh and Matt. You. Voice files. Now. You shouldn't have told me Carol got you a new microphone.)
