If you’ve been looking for a good machinima demonstration of what iClone can do, look no further than Paul Louis‘ latest film, “The Opera-tives.”

Performed in the style of classic-era comedy (Groucho Marx, Stan & Laurel, a bit of Abbott and Costello), this piece is a phenomenal representation of the variety of animations possible in iClone 2.5. Additionally, it’s a very nice showcase of some of the different character looks which are possible in the platform. Paul is a prolific character designer in iClone, both commercially as well as via the unbelievable number of freebies he gives away on his blog. And, he’s the author of what I think are the best video tutorials on the subject.

Even if the style of the piece isn’t your typical fare, if you’re interested in evaluating iClone for your toolkit I encourage you to take a look.
