Are You Excited About The 2010 Machinima Expo?

You should be, it's the biggest machinimagala of the year. Even BoingBoing mentions it. Good luck to all nominees and here's hoping this is the best event ever.

My posts from the 2009 Expo.

Winners.
Clips of the event.

Now if I can get SL to behave I can join in the fun on Saturday/Sunday.

NSF Funded Machinima Study

The cold dark lens of academia is about to be turned on machinima makers.

A study into large-scale collaborative works has been funded. One of the study subjects is WoW machinima?

Perhaps someone should invite them to the Machinima Expo?

Machinima Expo Footage

UPDATE* Embeds below.

As mentioned here before, footage from the recent Machinima Expo 2009.

Note, this is raw footage (compressed - but the file size is still very large). Unedited. I put no effort to enhance the production value. In fact, the Overcast video clip has a severe flaw half way through that renders the video useless. It is likely that the audio Phil released solely for the Overcast section is better than the raw footage below. (There were technical difficulties, and drops due to Second Life or Fraps issues (not sure which). Sound goes from quiet to too loud, and my in-world camerawork is messy.

Uploaded both audio (mp3 - 44K, 128Kbps) and video (mp4 640X360) to megaupload. You have to enter codes for each download, and then wait.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Enjoy!
