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.

Forbidden Planet – Children of The Krell (Chapter One) by Biggs Trek aka Philip Browne, released 23 August 2024 –
Tracy, Ricky, and Damien are back (Phil is still out) with fun coverage of recent machinima and machinima-related news. From the Reallusion Lip-Sync contest to a bizarre indie game called “Heal Hitler”, the three of us share news that is inspired and often quite weird.
And Now For Something Completely Machinima is a podcast devoted to machinima (movies made in game engines). This month (May 2021) we are splitting our podcast into four sections which will post once a week: Machinima News (May 6), Machinima Films (May 13), Machinima Discussion (May 20) along with several interviews which we will publish separately throughout the month.
The complete transcript of the episode is available at our Buzzsprout podcast page for this episode here.
Summary: Two questions for the group – one, why has science fiction been such a popular genre for machinima, and two, what are some of the game platforms that are available for scifi machinima creation. Also, Ricky shares a list of great scifi machinima.
Alongside our films and discussion, this month Damien also had the chance to speak to Mark Meer, aka the voice of Commander Shepherd in the Mass Effect game. Here’s the interview.
And, Damien spoke with the cinematic designer at Bioware, Ashley Ruhl. Here’s the interview.
