Completely Machinima S2 Ep 35 Films & Discussion (April 2022)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes April 14, 2022 2 Comments

This month, Damien leads the Completely Machinima crew with a review and discussion of Reallusion’s iClone films. Alongside the few amazing creative projects by Warlord, Rene Jacob and Martin Klekner we discussed, finding a broad selection has been a challenge so we were interested to reflect on why there are so few iClone movies to see.

In this episode, Ricky, Tracy and Damien discuss a selection of films with the AI known as Phil, whilst the real Phil is off on holiday in sunny New York with his real family. The selection this month covers the full scale of quality with some raw and experimental machinima work and some incredibly polished machinima, with much in between. Games the machinima works draw on includes RDR2, GTA5, Little Nightmares 2, Xcom, Mech Warrior, Skyrim, Max Payne and Roblox with a bit of Blender thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!
