Deviating Machinima

The Overcast episode 5 has been released. I was able to give it a listen yesterday and found it very funny. This EP is a step away from the regular machinima focus with a kind of 'field trip to E3 with Overman'. How he got Schwarzenegger involved I'll never know. Great stuff Overman!

Since I'm all googoo over Blur Studio's right now I checked out this short article over at XSI Base with Sze Jones, Character Modeling Supervisor at Blur. She gives some personal background and thoughts on modeling girl characters. The images in this article are worth the visit alone.

Finally, I think the most popular machinima film right now is Deviation. Mainly because it was screened at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. The question has been raised if any other machinima film has been screened at such a major festival. Nothing rings a bell with me right now... They also push the 'virtually produced, no physical contact needed' aspect as well. I wasn't overly wow'ed by the film but then again, I may not have given it my full attention. That Counter Strike look is so yesterday. It's pretty much owned by Gworx in my eyes. ;)
