December 2024 - Completely Machinima

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes December 26, 2024 Leave a reply

What a fantastic short to end 2024 on… this week is yet another great creative work by GibbsonTV, released in April. The film is based on the award-winning Roblox-inspired game Lethal Company by Zeekerss. It’s not actually machinima, being made in Blender, but in the spirit of being inspired by the game and with a original tale, it has all the right heritage for our show. Check out our comments and add your own – and see you on the other side of the New Year for more creative tidbits.

Not an actual comparison but a review of two shorts: The Internet is for Porn by Evilhoof & Flayed, originally released way back in 2005 and The Marstons Celebrate Christmas, But Things Get Out of Hand, by Paradise385 released 22 Dec 2023. Lots of lampoonery in both our reviews, but we especially hope you enjoy watching them. Happy Christmas from the crew here at Completely Machinima.

A new AI-focussed filmmaking studio has launched, called Asteria. Its argument is that AI can change the way indies make and distribute content, providing new opportunities, and presumably new types of content – its very much the same point we made a few months back about mAIchinima. Link here.

A Source Filmmaker short by Dominzki, this is another of his well-crafted stories told in 3 parts, called Mission. This episode we focus on the third part Exodus and discuss its merits in detail. We conclude that if there was ever a machinima that should be made in a film studio, this would be it. Check out our comments.
