Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 1:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time (click here for World Time conversion), Machiniplex will be premiering Tobias Lundmark’s “Among Fables and Men.” Defying the ever-evolving definition of machinima, Fables is a masterwork of compositing, repurposing imagery from World of Warcraft in a stylized Lewis Caroll-esque presentation.

The film should be up at Machiniplex some time today, and then on Sunday at the above time a Q&A will take place with the director in Skype chat, hosted by Ricky, Ingrid and Jason of Machiniplex. Learning more about Lundmark’s techniques and inspirations for this beautiful piece of work should be fascinating.

If you’re on Facebook, you can get more info at the Facebook Event page. Otherwise, I hope we’ll see you tomorrow at Machiniplex.com and then on Skype to dissect and discuss.
