Machinima as a Money Machine
CNN has an article on machinima, and its potential as a new medium for Hollywood - Red vs Blue gets prominent mention. It's clear that many in Hollywood still don't get it:
"Hollywood looks to all kinds of places for a fan base and given the enormous success of video games, that's a natural place to look," said Jon Richmond, managing director of media and entertainment at Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin. "But 'Final Fantasy' was a movie based on video game technology and that was a whopping failure."
