Post Traumatic Stress Machinima

Welcome To The Desert Of The Real is an interesting video. It combines images from America's Army, a checklist of stress disorders, and some atmospheric music. I do not think it entirely works as a whole, but it is nonetheless a fascinating experiment.

What's Alex Chan Up To These Days

The creator of "The French Democracy" released a series called "World of Electors" last year during the French elections. Unfortunately I can not find an English version (spoken or subtitled).

According to this blog (franck perrier), he also made "Seeds of Terrorism" (there is a 10 minute interview with him on the perrier blog).

And now he appears to be working for the Capa TV Agency on some machinima projects (Yahoo News). Considering how much discussion there was last night in the machinima conference in Second Life on paying gigs for machinimists, this appears to be a growing worldwide phenomenon.
