S3 E71 Film Review: Heroes of Bronze: The Memory (March 2023)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes March 30, 2023 Leave a reply

After we first talked about this project last April 2022, we were thrilled to see what a stunning job @MartinKlekner has made in the 21 Jan 2023 release of the first episode of Heroes of Bronze. We were not disappointed: the film and work stands up to AAA Assassin’s Creed Odyssey studio work, but with amazing detail of historical artefacts and storytelling, which is even evident in the way clothes move on characters. Damien couldn’t put our views better when he says this work inspires him to want to do better with iClone. We’re definitely looking forward to the next release – bring it on!

This week’s film is a SFM Saxxy 2017 entry by Tipsy Duck called Mann Co: Employee Training Video. Lots of in-jokes and satire in the style of a PSA machinima. It has a fantastic voiceover by Keith Ferrell aka Mr Tush.

We always love a good RDR2 machinima, and this is one by a Sam Menell, released on 9 Feb 2023. We watched this several times, and Tracy didn’t spot the UFO in the opening shot!

S3 E68 Film Review: TikTok Machinima (Mar 2023)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes March 9, 2023 Leave a reply

This week, Ricky provokes us with a selection of shorts released on TikTok. We discuss the usefulness of the platform for machinima and virtual production creators, as well as pass comment on the three films we take a look at, which unsurprisingly we variously struggle with. Phil’s analogy to fish restaurants of different quality sums it up well for us all.

S3 E67 Film Review: The Gateway (March 2023)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes March 2, 2023 Leave a reply

This week’s film review is The Gateway by Ritualin Films, made with Unreal Engine and released in May 2020. It is a mix of some well-known alien life sci-fis we all love, the pacing is nicely done and there are some interesting effects that we comment on although we’re not quite sure what the ending is all about.
