Cinemassively: Machiniplex to hold Q & A for "Among Fables and Men"
WarcraftMovies held a contest, The Fabled Few, last month. Among the winners was an outstanding piece by Dopefish, a World of Warcraft Machinimator. The film, "Among Fables and Men," weaves it's magic through the use of images and song. No text, voiceovers, or footage were involved, which makes it quite impressive!Machiniplex, a collaborative effort between expert Machinimators Jason Choi, Ricky Grove, and Ingrid Moon, will be holding a screening of "Among Fables and Men" on Sunday, December 16th, at 1pm PST. These semi-regular meetups are small gatherings of Machinima enthusiasts and professionals alike. A question and answer session with the film's director will take place on Skype, followed by a showing of his film, which he will be remastering the audio for. If you are interested in attending, you can RSVP on the Facebook page for the event.
WoW Moviewatch: Edge of Remorse
I have found my new favorite machinima, and it's a year old. Winner of the 2006 Summer Machinima contest Drama/Action category, and featuring not one lick of dialog, Jason Choi's opus created at Riot Films still manages to tell one of the most compelling stories in short film. The mark of a great WoW film is that it just happens to use WoW as a backdrop, but could stand on its own as a masterpiece no matter how it was filmed. What makes the lack of dialog possible is the use of Scott Buckley's extraordinary and haunting original score, and gToon's artful cinematic editing. Rather than me gush on, watch, and enjoy, but beware, a love triangle and ultimate tragedy lie ahead.
