Machinima Filmmaking and Episode 9 Day

IGN FILMFORCE has an interview with Tommy Pallotta that's a good read.I think Tommy's story as a filmmaker/producer is interesting. He is one example of a filmmaker that has been involved in both traditional filmmaking and machinima, being the director of renown Fountainhead Entertainments "In the Waiting Line". He's, arguably, greatest success is his fine line walk between them with 'Waking Life' and the upcoming Philip Dick adaptation 'A Scanner Darkly'. I think he relates well to being a machinima type filmmaker but in the greater world of Hollywood budgets.

I tend not to place too much emphasis on the tools themselves. It's really about what kind of story you want to tell with the tools that are available. And beyond that it becomes about artistry and creativity, and that really comes from all the individuals that are working on it.

The power of the machinima filmmaker constantly does grow. Xbox live will be hosting machinima content soon and along with the guerilla filmmaking style machinima permits, its filmmakers must push this on a marketing level such as with Bloodspell and the upcoming BorgWars hitting the media straight on.
