Machinima Competition
December 31, 2007 12:53 pm EverythingWell look at this, I’m updating about 5 minutes after my last post. Ah well, I’ve got more news and another video.
This was my entry into the Gameriot “Dawn of Machinima” competition, where we had to take promotional images of the HP Blackbird PC and integrate them into a machinima in some way. I wrote the script, did the voice-acting and choreography all from scratch and ended up with what you see above.
Voting was from the 20th to the 27th but on the second to last day, I posted on the Facepunch forums, asking for people to check out my video and vote on it if they wished. Somehow the word spread and I received a massive amount of votes from all over the HL2 community which put me into first place with +741 votes! I’m still waiting on the competition results but I’m fairly certain that my entry has won.
Main prize? Said Blackbird PC. In the computer world that’s the equivalent of comparing whatever computer you are on now to a volvo and the Blackbird to a Ferrari. It’s in a whole different class.
So anyway, I’m calling this my first public machinima release. And from this contest I’ve DEFINITELY got some exposure. So you’ll be hearing from me soon regarding more releases, as I have quite a few ideas in production.
Peace out y’all. ![]()
