Ko.yaa.nis.qatsi - An FSX Film

A very interesting Machinima movie inspired by Godfrey Reggio's film 'Koyaanisqatsi' appeared as video response to my GTA4 machinima 'Liberty City'. This movie was made by PrivateCustard with Microsoft Flight Simulater X (FSX). I really enjoyed watching it. It has some amazing scenes and editing.

MachinUWA III: Journeys (3rd UWA Machinima Challenge - 2011)

The 3rd Machinima Challenge put forth by the University of Western Australia (UWA) has just been announced.
The theme is simply 'Journeys'. What the journey is, will be left to the Machinimatographer. A journey through Second Life. A journey of self discovery. A journey within. A journey from SL too RL, or vice-versa. A journey through space, through time, a journey of hope, a journey of despair. Your own journey, or a journey by someone else seen through your eyes... or... through Second Life in 80 Days, whatever you can imagine.

DEADLINE: Submissions are open between NOW (Feb 2011) till 1st May 2011
