Good Morning, Ms Machinima

Wow, its been quiet over the last week or so then BAM, everybody's talkin' about machinima.

Women in film (and Machinima) have been a focus this week with the latest entries over at machinima related blogs Mu Productions Online and Burnt Coffee Chatter. The latter having an interesting comment based discussion happening in regards to the subject matter. I'll leave it at that. ;)

Speaking of women in machinima, Rachel Bray over at Babayaga (and by association Machinimatix.com) has released a new Sims2 machinima film, 'Our Time_'. Her site has a good primer on the meaning behind her film and her journey into making it using the Sims2 engine for the first time.

Strange Company has released the first part of 'The Making of Bloodspell'.
The Strange Company crew present the first part of the "Making of Bloodspell". Get behind the scenes at Strange Company Towers, and see how half a dozen geeks in Hugh's spare room manage to make a film by turning each other into badgers.
Also, Strange Company crewman Johnnie Ingram must have found a few extra moments between BloodSpell episode productions to write two articles released today at Machinima.com. The first is his compilation of machinima related things that have stood out as his top 10 ten 'My Favorite Things'. The second is an article entitled, "Managing a machinima script with Celtx". I've mentioned before I've been using Celtx in writing my most recent script and it really is a big help. Mostly in sorting scenes and characters and building your script up without worrying so much about formatting. It misses some of the finer polished aspects of a word processor but in my staying with it says a lot (trust me, I'm all about the easy).

Speaking of my latest machinima production, I just got proper permission today for the main song to be used in my film. It's a song that will be the emotional backbone to the film. It's such a great unlabelled song that I really look forward to helping bring it to the larger masses. You'll love it, I promise. And that's all I'll say.
