Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes January 16, 2025 Leave a reply

This week’s #machinima short is ridiculous, yep Ridiculous Ties – a meme response to Eltorro64Rus’ review of favorite and least favorite words used by the Scientist in Half Life, created by Finzlow. And did we say its ridiculous?! We love the well-crafted humor in this, in-jokes with some of the best timing and inspired editing we’ve seen for quite some time. Although its strictly not machinima, it is definitely from a machinima stable, so it counts for us at least. Our review –

Lazzi (plural of lazzo) are comedic routines or gags used in Commedia dell’Arte. They are pre-rehearsed bits of physical or verbal humor that can be inserted into performances, often improvised, to entertain the audience or punctuate the action.

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.

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)

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.
