Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes November 21, 2024 Leave a reply

Who doesn’t love a good olde Western? This week we delve into a great short by avidredeadenjoyer, released 21 Sept 2024, called The Loss. It has been made in the only engine a Western machinima can be, RDR2. We all especially liked one particular shot, which really goes to the heart of why machinima has added so much to movie-making. This week, we also talk about a second pick, a Frontier: Elite 2 short by The Mystic Mushroom accompanied by the Blue Danube: The second best space sim ever made… Enjoy!

S5 E155 Beyond the Dust (Nov 2024)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes November 6, 2024 Leave a reply

This week’s ep we dedicate to a 3D animation by a French student collective made in their final year of studies, streamed through @TheRookiesCo channel. It is not technically machinima as its made using traditional animation tools but nonetheless we absolutely loved it – and its a recommendation by one of our channel’s regular followers @3dchick. The film is a post-apocaylptic robot tale, inspired by Zaha Hadid’s architectonic style.

S5 E154 Good advice! (Oct 2024)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes October 30, 2024 Leave a reply

In this ep, we discuss The Nomad | Cyberpunk 2077, a Lifepath cinematic by Zero-Sum Story, and Ian Hubert’s Lazy Tutorials, which are not for the feinthearted yet somehow full of the very best machinima advice, such as “… just drag it to a place where you don’t think it looks stupid” and “… imagine doing all this and actually putting in some effort – its something to think about” – yep, it sure is. Enjoy the discussions.

S5 E153 Forbidden Planet – Children of the Krell (Oct 2024)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes October 23, 2024 1 Comment

This week, we review a machinima that has taken its inspiration and cue from the original movie Forbidden Planet, released in 1956. This is the animated and stylized sequel we’ve all been waiting for, set immediately after the events reported in the film. It has been written and directed by Biggs Trek, aka Philip Browne, whose creative talent shines through in this.
