You're Fired
Cybrfrk found a short film over at Machinima.com, entitled 'You're Fired'. According to the film itself, it was made by the Sponsors vs Freeloaders team, but it's credited to Panda Productions on the Machinima.com page. In any case, it's what happens when Sims 2 and Halo come together in a film... Update: Just got mail from Amanda Stanley, the brains behind Panda Productions - it seems she's engaged to Sevenar, from SvF (congrats, both of you!), which explains the co-working. It's her film, though. (Louis Wu 14:16:57 UTC)

The Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences (AMAS) issued a press release and call for entries for this year's Machinima Film Festival - submissions began to be accepted a week ago, with a final deadline of October 6. Get cracking! (This press release was originally posted on their website on July 11, but we just got a copy today. Sorry for the delay!) (Louis Wu 18:42:06 UTC)

Pumahog Productions
A new machinima series kicked off recently - so far, there are only 'test' vids for download, but they're worth keeping an eye on. Go take a look at Pumahog.com for another Red vs Blue-inspired team! (Louis Wu 14:50:05 UTC)

After all... tomorrow is another day.
There's an article in today's News Tribune (a Tacoma, WA newspaper) about machinima - and it comes with a great poster. Thanks to Ename Nep for the heads-up. (Louis Wu 15:23:32 UTC)

Play the Codex on your PSP
Trigger119 posted a note on our forum, pointing to a page on halomachinima.com; he's made all the episodes to date of The Codex Series (17 in all) available in a format readable by your PSP. (There are also standard WMP9 and QuickTime mirror links, to take some of the strain off the Codex Series website.) Check it out! (Louis Wu 15:13:22 UTC)

Machinima book on the shelves
Recently, Phatcorns mentioned on our forum that a new book had hit the shelves - It's called 'Machinima: Making Animated Movies in 3D Virtual Environments' and it uses several movies from HBO regulars (including Phatcorns' 'Out for Blood' as examples. c0ld vengeance pointed out that his 'Haliens' is in there, too. Nice! (Louis Wu 00:08:26 UTC)

Cairo Station
Over on the High Impact Halo forums, comradx released Cairo Station, the first of seven episodes that will make up his full-length feature film based on Halo 2. A significant percentage of the film is made up of cutscenes from the game - but then, if he's reproducing the Halo 2 story, doesn't it make sense to use them? The movie is almost 40 minutes long, and contains some great camerawork. (I haven't had time to watch the whole thing yet - but I'm impressed so far!) comradx has released a 120 mb WMP9 version via YouSendIt - likely by the time you read this, it'll be offline. There's a slightly lower-res version hosted by trigger119, at halomachinima.com. We got word of this too late to be able to help out at the moment - but it's possible I can get something online in the near future. (It won't be today.) Go watch! (Thanks also to Ibeechu for additional info.) Oh, yeah - and don't forget to download the credits video as well! (Louis Wu 20:33:22 UTC)

This Spartan Life
A few days ago, we got email from Matt Cheeser, alerting us to 'This Spartan Life' - a pretty unique concept; Damian Lacedaemion is a talk show host who uses Halo as a set. His guests talk about a lot of things - games, yes, but plenty of other things. It's machinima... mixed with talk show television. It's fun. There are five episodes so far. (They got a pretty good review on G4's Attack of the Show - we've taken this long to mention them because we wanted to help with bandwidth first, and setting up took a little while.) Go watch!

Long Day at Headlong
The Final Supremacy website has put up Episode 3 (Part 1) of their machinima series 'Black and White' - this one's called 'Long Day At Headlong, Part 1'. Available in both DivX and MPEG formats, 43-100 mb (depending on flavor). An awful lot of rebels bite it in this one! (Louis Wu 23:39:09 UTC)

War of the Species
One film that didn't make it through the MPRRS recently was called 'War of the Species' - most reviewers liked it, but a couple gave it low-enough scores that it didn't clear the passing hurdle. However, one of the reviewers liked it enough to offer hosting on his own - NINJ4, of the HBO Forerunners clan, has made it available on his site. 9.7 mb, WMP9 format. It uses Halo 2 cutscenes from the Cutscene Library combined with a soundtrack from the War of the Worlds trailer - it's different than the one we mentioned here (which is unfortunately no longer available). Nice scene choices, in my opinion. Update: this has now been mirrored by trigger119 at Halomachinima.com. Thanks! Update 2: ShadowX pointed out that his video IS still available - you can find links to copies at GameTrailers in this forum post. Grab it, and compare the two! (Louis Wu 19:51:15 UTC)

RvB-style crop effect for WMM2 users
Hogmasta put together an effect for Windows Movie Maker 2 that crops out the HUD, for ease of machinima making - we've put up a local copy (3k). If you're using WMM2 to create Halo movies - this can help! (Louis Wu 15:13:04 UTC)

Halo: Fate's Destiny
trigger119 pointed out a new trailer hosted at the newly-redesigned Halomachinima.com - Halo: Fate's Destiny takes place after the in-game story ends, and looks at the final 5 remaining Spartans. It's filmed in the HaloCE engine, with additional CGI elements. The trailer's quite short - but pretty! Update: there is now a QuickTime version up as well. Thanks! (Louis Wu 14:42:42 UTC)

The Squadron Trailer
Another of the recent torrent of movies clearing our Movie Peer Review Rating System is a teaser for an upcoming machinima series. 'The Squadron - Advert' is a short trailer for the upcoming season of (yeah, you guessed it) The Squadron, a human-vs-covie matchup. 2:05 long, available in WMP9 (7.2 mb) or QuickTime (6.8 mb).

Final Supremacy has released the first two episodes of a machinima project called 'Black and White' - this is the story of a team of SpecOps Spartans who need to hold back a rebel uprising. Vids are in DIvX or MPEG format, and run about 40-60 mb each. Grab them from their media page! (Louis Wu 19:02:24 UTC)

Biohazard - for your PSP
Phan7om has created a PSP-friendly version of Biohazard, an extremely popular machinima project. (If you've never seen it, and don't have a PSP, you can find download links in this news post, from March.) Now, if you want to see this vid, but need it on the go... you've got it!

Ultimate Slayer - Again
A week ago, we mentioned a fun film by Final Supremacy - a story of a Team Slayer game on Coagulation. (That is - a machinima of a game, sort of.) We killed their bandwidth by mentioning it, so I told them to submit the film to the MPRRS for review, so we could help host it. The reviewers were unhappy with the long credits, and it didn't pass - by the smallest of margins. I'm putting it up anyway. 52 mb, zipped DivX format. Enjoy. (Louis Wu 21:18:49 UTC)

The Harvest 2
trigger119 announced the release of Crossfire's 'The Harvest 2' yesterday on our forum - but things were so crazy I didn't get around to mentioning it. (This is partly because I wanted to watch it before I wrote about it - and the thing is 30 minutes long.) It's the full version of the vid we mentioned a trailer for a few weeks ago - film quality is pretty good, storyline works nicely. The BloodSignature team did a great job of keeping it all together for a half-hour video! trigger119 is hosting a WMP9 version at halomachinima.com for them (right-click/option-click to download - streaming won't work) - it weighs in at 114 mb. We've decided to put up a QuickTime version, as well, to help out - 110 mb. I'm actually pretty happy to see folks taking on more ambitious projects! (Louis Wu 14:06:19 UTC)

Mental Image
trigger119 writes to point out Mental Image, a new machinima created by his friend Vice Ruetoy. It's in the 'something the government is giving me is making me crazy' genre - it's 44.1 mb, WMP9 format. Voice stuff needs some work. You can post comments to this thread (this was put up yesterday, but the movie was replaced last night with a version with better sound). (Louis Wu 10:38:10 UTC)

Ultimate Slayer
We got word of a vid called 'Ultimate Slayer' - it's a 7:24 long machinima... of sorts. It's actually the story of a Team Slayer game in Coagulation. Nice filming, and some funny moments! The actual vid is 113 mb, but it's stored in zipped format, and the download is only 56 mb. DivX 5 format. Go grab a copy from the Final Supremacy website. (Louis Wu 20:14:59 UTC)
