The first episode ever. Of all time.
An awesome action sequence integrating both machinima and 3D CG animation.
Thoughts?

Machinima Example: Red vs. Blue
We were discussing machinima in class today, and some people seemed unaware of what it was. Julian provided a link to the machinima website, and I'd like to supplement his post with some specific video examples of one of the most famous machinima series, Red vs. Blue, created by the guys at Rooster Teeth.

ReplyDeleteI like how existential the very first episode is. It makes you empathize with the Halo "player character" in a new light instead of someone you simply control.
ReplyDeleteThese reminds me of little vignettes.
The series plays with existentialism a lot, both comically and seriously. It's fascinating to see how seriously they take things in a primarily comedic show.
DeleteThere are a lot of great vignette moments that are tied together with an awesome narrative.
I love things like machinima, and the way I was exposed to this type of thing in particular was in high school honors biology class. we had an extra credit DNA/genetics assignment where we could do anything we wanted to explain how DNA worked and was formed and then present it to the class. I made a jello sculpture thing, my friends rewrote the words to a song, but by far the coolest example was the three guys I sat in the back of the class with who recorded a halo match and voiced over things about DNA. the players were different bits of DNA and different warthogs were carriers and that's how they "zipped up" the DNA essentially. I remember thinking how cool it was to take something so extra-curricular, something so outside the academic sphere and bringing it in in a legitimate way. (obviously i haven't taken biology since then so i apologize for my stumbling descriptions...)
