Beyond Warthog Jump: Machinima grows up

Machinima Festival 2005 225p I'd like to thank the Academy…

The Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences is bringing us the latest Machinima film festival this weekend at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens.  Expect to see regulars like Roosterteeth's Red vs Blue as well as "Mackie" best picture finalists like Bot and The Journey

Wired News has a piece about the medium and festival saying that "in the early 1990s, the machinima movement has for the most part spawned self-indulgent, sophomoric movies," however, "of late, machinima has begun to explore more sophisticated, nuanced storytelling."  They also discuss the impending copyright issues that are sure to plague them as machinima increases in popularity.  Try to get over there if you can to see what people have been doing with your games.
