Tracy Harwood conducts a fascinating interview of veteran machinima / Anymation filmmaker, Tom Jantol.
Tracy, Ricky, Damien and Phil review a super-diverse set of short films made in Unreal Engine, Animal Crossing, Flight Simulator X, GTA V, and Garry’s Mod.
In this episode we discuss some new releases by some machinima veterans, NVIDIA’s Machinima Omniverse tool, a new sandbox game reliant on the world of NFTs, the recent FantaSci Short Film Festival, and making machinima in Red Dead Redemption 2.
And Now For Something Completely Machinima is a podcast devoted to machinima (movies made in game engines).
