Waazz up. Not a whole lot around today. If you are interested in the fmx/06 Real Time Film Festival in Stuttgart, Germany, Machinima LIVE! has a news anchor on the scene giving day by day accounts. He mentions the success of the Machinima/BloodSpell presentation by Strange Company.

The main highlight of the day was the session talks on Strange Company's, "Bloodspell". Since Hugh Hancock was not present, David Maas from the Institute of Animation, gave a session on this highly anticipated Machinima film and presented the first three episodes of "Bloodspell" on the big screen! I was impressed by the new episodes! The story evolves well, getting better and better.

Make sure to keep your eye on LIVE for all the ongoing details.

And if your in the mood for a good machinima film, make sure to check out Episode 2 of the Fixer by Burnt Coffee Productions (no website found).

It is very modern and stylized in its storytelling technique, transcending its gaming roots. Done in the Sims2 engine this film brings the production out of the game. Its rare that I'll watch a film twice in a row but I did with 'The Fixer II'.

And finally, I came across something really amazing that will change making machinima forever. This is tool, although a bit awkward and overbearing, will revolutionize the process of getting movies from your brain onto the computer scene. Behold, the Machinimizer.
