Bad World
BOLTAR94 stopped in with word of another no-dialogue French-made machinima - this one's called 'Bad World'. Lots of nice effects... though I'm not sure I understood what was going on. Certainly a nice watch, in any case! Much more info (along with multiple options for viewing) can be found in his post.

Distress
Vandya stopped in with word of 'Détresse' (Distress), a french machinima. No dialogue, just action. Nice cinematography! Can our hero hold out long enough for help to arrive? (Louis Wu 13:14:15 UTC)

Tuesday Movie Mania
Stuff for you this afternoon, from Bungie's Comm Chatter:
- Warthog Memoirs is a four and a half minute machinima from CMNeir and friends - a couple of guys in matchmaking remember better times with their friend the warthog (I think it needs a voice).
- Physics Evolved: Episode 1 shows off some of the crazy stuff you can do with Halo's physics engine. If you can dream it... you can build it.
- Halo 3: ODST OST Rap is an ode to the wonder that is ODST's soundtrack. I'm not a huge rap fan, but this is fantastic.
Go watch! (Louis Wu 18:38:22 UTC)

Agent 404, Episode 1
Uman pointed us to a thread on Bungie.net's forum in which he's announced Agent 404, Episode 1, a 22 minute Halo 3 machinima filmed in HD and available for download (it's 1.2 GB!) or stream (same file). It has both a French and an English soundtrack, though after watching the first 10 minutes of the English version, I have to say I have no clue at all what this is about. If you've got a massive connection, grab a copy and check it for yourself. (Louis Wu 15:42:29 UTC)

Go Wash!
TDSpiral spent some time recently creating a tribute to Agent Washington, a character in the Red vs Blue machinima series. Go see how he did! (Louis Wu 15:10:05 UTC)

RVB ODST Launch Party in NZ
If you live in Aukland, NZ, 'RVB' might not evoke a Halo-based machinima series first and foremost in your mind - it might make you think of beer. There's a bar called 'Red vs Blue', and they'll be hosting a Halo 3: ODST Launch Party on September 21. If you're in Aukland - get down there! (Louis Wu 16:39:57 UTC)

RvB Recreation Chapter 11: Dumb Cop, Bad Cop
Last night Rooster Teeth released Chapter 11 of their latest RvB machinima series, RvB Recreation. Caboose tries to be sneaky, Simmons tries to look cool on a motorcyle. Or two. Go watch! (Louis Wu 14:41:10 UTC)

SPARTAN-BETA - Part 1
Chengaiz Khan let us know about Euphoria Films' SPARTAN-BETA, a new machinima series drawing its references from all sorts of Halo universe products. A Human-Covenant alliance is strained by the actions of a mysterious entity doing serious damage. Nice effects - and an open door for more episodes. Go watch! (Louis Wu 13:07:58 UTC)

An old friend surfaces
Some old-timers might remember Pico - he was an early maker of machinima, notably the Lethal Rage series in 2003/2004. He stopped in this morning to point out an interview by the folks at machinima.fr - the english version is here, the french version here. It's a fun read! (Some good advice from it, to folks making machinima now: "Make a movie you want to see." Sounds like Pico and Bungie have similar philosophies!)

Inside District 9
Tommy92L released Inside District 9, a Halo machinima that looks at what might happen after the end of the District 9 movie. (If you haven't seen the film yet, this video will contain spoilers, obviously.) He did a great job pulling off the documentary look - check it out! (Louis Wu 16:12:38 UTC)

Bungie-Inspired Music from Nicholas Singer
Nicholas Singer has been writing music inspired by Bungie tunes for quite a while - and recently he sent along a whole passel of new pieces. We've gathered up everything he's done in one place; you can swing by the page for full details. He'd love it if you used his music in your Halo-related podcast or machinima; go listen to the pieces, and download anything you'd like to use! (Louis Wu 19:55:01 UTC)

SOLILOQUY - a new mini-series
Jason Broussard sent word that Mindless Distortion, the creators of the Gray Team machinima series, is back with SOLILOQUY. This new mini-series features the voice talent of Kyle Hebert (following that link will show you quite a selection of anime and videogame voice work in the past couple of decades), among others, along with original music from Perimeter of the Void. You can view both the teaser for the mini-series (released a couple of weeks ago) as well as the pilot episode (released yesterday). Intriguing stuff! (Louis Wu 11:31:53 UTC)

Halopen Pencast 12
Firestorm12 let us know that the 12th Halopen Pencast is now online, with discussion of machinimating (never heard that before!) from the point of view of the various roles in a production. About an hour and a half. Go listen! (Louis Wu 22:21:50 UTC)

Inside Gaming Halo Coverage from ComicCon
Machinima's Inside Gaming has a couple of Comic Con Extended Coverage vids that might be of interest to Halo fans - Dex let us know about an interview with Neill Blomkamp (mostly about District 9, but the Halo movie gets a mention), and Dratt pointed out an interview with Bungie's Paul Bertone about Halo 3: ODST. The Bertone interview, in particular, is full of great little "here's why we did this" tidbits - give it a watch! (Louis Wu 21:06:14 UTC)

BungLog Razzmatazz
Lots of new content for you this afternoon at Bungie.net:
- Apparently, the Zoxin It Up! podcast didn't happen as it was supposed to last Friday; it's been rescheduled for tomorrow, Friday, July 31 at 9 pm EST.
- Machinicast.com released their first annual Machinima Awards show - we mentioned back in early June, when they were looking for community votes. Go see who won!
- Joeski and friends played a bunch of custom games last Friday - and filmed some of the more memorable moments. Swing by to watch Fustoms Friday 7/24.
- Phurion's back with a new montage - it's called 'BOOM', and it features some very nicely-timed (though at times really hard-to-watch) gameplay. Go check out his boom boom, in HD.
- The ViDoc released this morning, Desperate Measures, can now be found in the ODST Field Guide - streaming versions of the video are now available, along with the downloadable ones.
- Homeboyd903 created a pretty cool map he calls Backdraft - and urk was there to get the lowdown on the map and how it plays, just for you.
Whew - you leave for a few hours, and BAM said the lady! (Louis Wu 19:56:25 UTC)

Reach (Emerald Part 2)
Nabsuh has released Reach, Episode 2 of 4 of his Emerald machinima miniseries - lots of CGI space fighting. More info is on the AVCOM website - powerful stuff! Definitely worth watching. (Louis Wu 21:20:09 UTC)

Retrograde Episode One
Silvac pointed us towards Retrograde Episode One - it's a Halo CE-based machinima about a solitary man suffering in lonliness. Interesting start! (Louis Wu 17:23:20 UTC)

Dimension X, Season 3, Episode 1
CROSSFIRE stopped in with word of a new season of Dimension X, the machinima series from Blood Signature Films. (I'd never seen these before - but apparently the first season was almost 5 years ago.) The cinematography on this new material is quite good, and the story is intriguing. The three parts of Episode 1 are hefty downloads (700 mb for the lot), but you can stream them if the downloads are too much. (Louis Wu 12:06:23 UTC)

One Life Remaining: Season 1 Episode 1
JonCGJ released a trailer for a new machinima series a couple of weeks ago - but we didn't hear about it until this morning, when urk posted a link to the first episode of the series on Bungie.net. Anthony Heitzmann graduates high school... I guess teenage angst isn't one of of the things that gets solved between now and the 26th century. (Louis Wu 16:32:17 UTC)

This Spartan Life Episode 6
It's been a long time since we've heard from Chris Burke, and the machinima series 'This Spartan Life' - but Episode 6 has been released, in advance of the completion of Episode 5. (Sometimes these things happen.) The guest is Katie Salen, who works on game design (you can read more about her here), and the interview, interspersed with TSL's normal wackiness, is pretty interesting. It's 14 minutes long - swing by and watch! (QuickTime version is up now, WMV should be available in short order.) Chris is still working on finishing up Episode 5 - he's run into some snags with Microsoft licensing. Here's hoping they get worked out soon!

The Chronicles of Lyle: The Official Promo
A lot of people make Halo machinima - most of it is either really serious, or pretty juvenile. The Chronicles of Lyle is neither. (Well, okay - it's a bit juvenile. But it's pretty funny anyway.) Check out the promo on YouTube. Then thank urk for finding it (in between donuts). (Louis Wu 16:55:00 UTC)

Tuesday Afternoon at the Movies
Vids for your enjoyment at the BungLog™ today:
- ChrisOfTheDead released Shenanigans 4 - stuff that just shouldn't happen... but does.
- Dropship dude put a bunch of webcam shots he collected over the course of Bungie Day together in one vid.
- The Mad Villager let urk know about 'Machinima, Explained' - a how-to video helping newcomers create better vids. (He let US know about it, too, a couple of days ago - but somehow we missed it in the news feed. Oops!)
Go watch some stuff! (Louis Wu 17:31:15 UTC)

Change of Scenery
Pierre Tartaix pointed us to Change of Scenery, a new machinima created by TGO GMBH. I have absolutely no idea what happened during this film... but the cinematography was great, the music was great, and the dialogue was at times very funny. Be aware that while the voice actors are predominately English-speaking, the group making the video is French.Two pouces up. (Louis Wu 17:35:43 UTC)
