This is kinda cool. It shows where the movie/video world may be going.

Did you see that recently released "anna" wmv? They had a post about it on http://games.slashdot.org/ - I d/l the 50mb thing and it was mildly interesting.

I think it was more or less to show what may be possible using a game engine to make a video.
The actual video was, as you said, mildly interesting.

People have been making Day of Defeat videos for a while, some of them are quite good.

That disappeared along with the rest of my d drive [ie all my jk editing of 5y and such] last March when it buggered. I hadn't even bothered to reinstall starcraft until a few weeks ago.

I remember downloading one for Quake 1 - a depiction of a major battle from the movie Braveheart. It was more than mildly interesting

i remember something from a few years back using Quake 2 to make a funny little show... i forgot what it was called

There's a show called Portal on G4 that takes place in MMORPGs. Sadly, its last episode was aired last night.

I blame it on The Sims Online and Second Life. The show was great until they started using those games. Actually, it might have been when they started using a storyline. Yeah, that was probably it.

I wasn't impressed by Anna but I'm jaded after playing Quake3 games since 2000. Non-gamers would probably be impressed.

I think machinima is a fad that's already fading. 3D anime will always be far ahead of it. This clip is amazing!

People will always make games with game enigines because it's really easy to do and it's doesn't cost any money

I think I've seen that episode. Portal was pretty bad by then. The first season was great. After that, horrible.
