Comments on: The Only Machinima Film to Make Me Genuinely Nauseous http://z-studios.com/blog/2007/09/15/the-only-machinima-film-to-make-me-genuinely-nauseous/ Thoughts on Machinima and Life, and whether the two can peacefully co-exist Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:59:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: KradProductions http://z-studios.com/blog/2007/09/15/the-only-machinima-film-to-make-me-genuinely-nauseous/#comment-467 KradProductions Mon, 17 Sep 2007 04:04:15 +0000 http://z-studios.com/blog/2007/09/15/the-only-machinima-film-to-make-me-genuinely-nauseous/#comment-467 I unfortunately missed the premiere today. I really wish I could have heard what Leo had to say about the movie. I talked to Jason and he said that they were planning on posting the convo online so I have my fingers crossed that it’ll happen. I just finished watching it for the second time. Very powerful. I think it will take a couple more viewings before I fully digest it – the second viewing was a lot more meaningful for me than the first and I think the third will trump the second. What a style too… I don’t want to sound like an idiot, but I have no idea what engine this was done in. It had a very “Team Fortress 2” kind of look to it which I thought made it surrealistic. It blows my mind how much emotion and conflict and disparity he could fit into about six minutes. You can just feel the former husband/father (or The Beast, depending on perspective) change right in front of you and it made my skin crawl. I unfortunately missed the premiere today.

Your reaction was very similar to mine. To take these "cartoon" characters and imbue them with this kind of meaning using the craft of machinima is quite an achievement. All three of us at machiniplex (jason, ingrid and myself) knew immediately that we had to set up a premiere for Leo's excellent film. I'm grateful for your notice here (and thoroughly enjoyed helping with the sound re-mix, although, in truth, it was you who did the grunt work. I just sharpened the pencils). And I'm particularly grateful that Leo would allow Machiniplex to premiere it this Sunday. I don't know whether it will be a controversial film, but we will be there at 1pm with Leo to talk it over. I can't say I was shocked by the film, but I found the moral ambiguity presented to be unique in machinima and you are so right to point out that it's a first. Perhaps for most of us as well. Interesting to see what the reaction will be. Ah, that Dr. Nemesis... I couldn’t agree with you more. Your reaction was very similar to mine.
