WoW Moviewatch: #Machinima Collaboration
Warning: This video involves some not-safe-for-work imagery. That includes a scantily clad female, as well as more artistic nudity near the end.
In order to really "get" this piece, you're probably going to need a little back story. First, there's this wonderful IRC channel where many of the superstars of machinima hang out. It's a little bit random chat, it's a little bit artist's studio, and it's little bit of a lot of other things.
As the story goes, about two years ago, there was a new kind of project being attempted. A handful of machinima creators decided to collaborate on a new video. The idea was that one person would work on a piece, then pass it off to the next. That person would then add their own segment, and pass it on to another.
As things sometimes happen, the collaboration was never completed. The work seemed lost. Until this past weekend, when Dopefish and Baron Soosdon were able to ferret out the whereabouts of each piece of that collaboration. And then, Dopefish uploaded the video.
This #Machinima Collaboration video includes work from Olibith, Nyhm, UncleTom, tehtaco, Telemora, Dopefish and Baron Soosdon. You should definitely take the time to check it out. As I warned above, though, there's a few not-safe-for-work pieces in it. But in a safe environment, this video is going to be an awesome treat.
Thanks to Selserene, who gave me the hookup to this video. You can see the video behind the cut.

NSFW? If you work in a convent, maybe.
Chibbers Dec 7th 2009 12:35PM
I wanna see more from dopefish. That was awesome!

Agreed, Dopefish was my favorite segment.
Now I have to figure out how to make my own dark leather, patch-eyed, little bad-@ssed rouge!

WTH did I just watch? @_@???

Fail. You're fired. I want a refund of my time.

Skip this column. It usually works. Every now and then I click it and regret it. Case in point.
Lucidique Dec 7th 2009 12:45PM
Meh.
I don't like this.

I'll start of by saying that I could never create anything as good as what these authors routinely put out.
That being said, knowing what they have created (seperately) in the past, I was expecting something that was actually good.
Two thumbs down, this was horrible.

I didn't even bother to watch it all the way through... what I saw was bas enough.

Gnomes vs Murlocs: frickin' sweet.
Everything else was a frustrating waste of talent.
Sel Dec 7th 2009 1:40PM
Epic. So glad this didn't disappear. How can someone not appreciate this? Plus TheDopefish reemerged to post it! I heard he only emerges from his cocoon every 3 years - and you have to be just in the right place or you might miss it!

Hm, what music is playing at Olibith's part?
Paciphae Dec 7th 2009 2:12PM
Trippy. I like Baron Soosdon's piece the best, by far. Taken as a whole it's reminiscent of movies like Earserhead and Naked Lunch. Or maybe I'm being too flattering.
Skonged Dec 7th 2009 2:24PM
Crappy just crappy.
Ametrine Dec 7th 2009 2:26PM
uh... yay tits? also yay gnomes-vs-murlocs.
rest was foo.
Hairfish Dec 7th 2009 2:28PM
It's like one of those movies you watched back in the 80's while you were stoned to the gills, and loved it...and then introduced your kids to once they hit 20, watched while straight, and could think only: "WTF?"
Like "Brazil." But with murlocs and gnomes.
Sargenus Dec 7th 2009 2:32PM
That was great! I loved the Gnomes vs Murloc part. I for one think it made little sense, but that's what was funny! I wish it coulda been finished.
