"Spontaneous" isn't perhaps the best word to describe the project, since it took me a few weeks to gather footage, then a few more to... well, you can read all the details on the film's own page. This is probably the first purely "for fun" machinima I've slopped together. Hope you enjoy it!
Oh. And some people are wondering, since this is essentially a trailer, when is "the movie" going to be coming? Well for that, I think I'll pull a Blizz and say, we will provide additional information as it becomes available.
You guys don't really think I plan this stuff out, do you?
My my my, the months go by! The good news is that I haven't had a cause to update much because I have been happily employed. The bad news is I haven't updated much. This shall change, and soon! We have something coming right around the corner, if I may tease thusly.
In the meantime, Redshift: Interlude has been uploaded to YouTube, complete with behind-the-scenes annotations, and available in HD streaming. Check it out!
Apologies for the long stretch of no updating. Admittedly, my mind hasn't been on machinima much, due to my prolonged job hunt (which itself is a full-time job) and of course, the hectic holidays. Speaking of which, a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope everyone got some phat lewtz from under the tree. I myself received a rather intriguing surprise from Santa:
Based on some of the feedback I got, some people were unaware that our recent "Redshift: Pursuit" was NOT the first in the series. I decided we had to rerelease the first episode, and have done so on YouTube:
And what YouTube release would be complete without annotations! You'll find all sorts of inane trivia, etc, to marvel over. Of course, if you haven't seen it yet, you might want to just disable the notes and enjoy the show.
Jun Falkenstein (of Stone Falcon Productions) and Ben Covi (of Oblivious Films) recently teamed up to take part in the 48-Hour Film Project's Machinima segment, where you naturally are tasked with creating a short machinima film in its entirety within 48 hours. I was happy to be a part of it by orchestrating music for the piece, since the genre that the team pulled was musical.
Creating any sort of film in 48 hours is not easy. Jun and Ben's work, I think, ended up campy and hilariously insane as a result. I certainly think my music arrangements could have been much better, but part of the fun is the mad rush to produce something--anything--that will work. I'll definitely consider participating in a more major way next time the contest rolls around.
