This week we are treated to a beautifully crafted film by Artcgrrl, fellow Hangout forum compatriot and a gal who has been impressing people with her Sims 2 work since the very early days of that game's machinima. I was particularly impressed with her entry into a one minute machinima challenge a few years ago, where her polish and creativity really shined.

This week, Dulci from TMUnderground treats us to some filtered soap opera goodness by way of Lionhead's The Movies, giving Child's Play itself a little taste of good natured satire. Isn't the filtering nice?

This week, Ricky Grove puts on his machinima director's cap for the first time and treats us to some iClone 3, making good use of the program's import pipeline from Google 3D Warehouse.

Missed this yesterday the video wasn't on Vimeo yet, so here I present the One Shared Vision submission by Smooth Few Films.

This week, Dave Tyner and his team Treadster Media present a "battle" between the characters of Unreal Tournament 3 and Halo... but no shots are fired, no punches thrown.

This week, we experience the unique flavor of Pineapple Pictures as they put iClone 3 to strange and charitable use. The duo of Kate Fosk and Michael R.

This week, Trace Sanderson brings a Wagner James Au piece to life in a bizarre in-engine mix of game characters and settings that Second Life is particularly well equipped to pull off. And when I say bizarre, I mean Mario-chatting-up-an-exotic-dancer kind of bizarre.

Incidentally, this is the first of at least two appearances of Master Chief in the OSV films, both of which transport him outside the Halo engine entirely.
