interesting site for gabriel and pierrot

machinima.org

i think you should send your clip to festivals and the "NVIDIA Make Something Unreal Contest"

one of the categories seams to fit perfectly:

Best Real-Time Non-Interactive Movie
Fire up UT2003 or UT2004 and begin a new single-player game. Check out the cool non-interactive movie of the combatants getting ready for battle with a roaring crowd behind them. Did you know you could do this?

The Unreal Engine provides a feature called Matinee, which allows you to build these kinds of movies inside the Unreal Editor. Are you a future Hollywood honcho? Show us how good you are! These movies are known as Machinima. Learn more about this at the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences web site at www.machinima.org.

PATRICK K. just sent me this: "that is what i was telling you! the beginning of a "genre" maybe. some also produce theater play in video games environments... quite funny (i.e. some guys replayed a entire "friends" tv movie in a virtual multiplayer ego shooter. they were killed all the time, came back and continue their play. in fact, what you can see in any game, the transitional part of the game being linear are the roots of this machinima genre."

Hello,

I am a reporter for Swiss TV interested in doing a story on Machinima. Could you tell me if you know anyone who does Machinima in Switzerland? I would like to get in touch with them for more information on their hobby.

many thanks,
laurent
