Submissions are now being accepted for the 2010 Machinima Expo. See here for more details.



"The Machinima Expo (MachinExpo) is an international festival of machinima films and events which takes place on the internet and in the virtual world of Second Life sometime in November. Now in it’s 3rd year of existence, the 2010 Machinima Expo promises to be the biggest and most complete festival yet.

The Expo is primarily about machinima films and the people who make them. We plan on featuring a major screening of machinima, a juried competition for machinima of high quality, workshops, presentations, interviews, panel discussions, installations and an awards ceremony. In addition, there will be numerous opportunities for those who attend to meet up and share information and ideas about animation and machinima.

Last year we screened over 50 films. We ran them 24/7 from a week before the Expo and into the week after. That gives you two full weeks to see all of the films we have chosen for this years Expo (2010). And unlike last year, you won’t have to come to Second Life to watch them. We will be working together with TMUnderground and Vimeo this year to make all of our films available to anyone who has access to the internet and a browser.

Our commitment to you is to bring the best films we can find, at the highest quality. In addition, we promise to make this years Expo the most accessible one yet. "

Thanks for that Dulci

submit your films for screening at the 2010 MachinExpo

watch one of the promo trailers, created with iClone

I do hope to see tons of submissions from iCloners for the Machinima Expo 2010. This is such a great opportunity to show just what iClone & this community can create!

I entered last year and got nowhere

I'm hoping that this year I might have something, but when you spend 4 months making something and it dosen't even feature you do start to wonder if it's worth entering

Colin i look at it as a way to share your work with a wider range of audience - you've spent the time on the movie already, look at this as just another potential outlet for it

I did, but it wasn't shown!

I understand it from your view point and to be honest with just a hint of acknowledgement of my work from the panel would have been enough.  There's a saying "No use flogging a dead horse" and that's how I feel about Expo.

To be honest I'm 50 50 regarding if to submit?

Theres more to the Expo than just submitting your movie (yes, there are jury selections, but overall, its an Exposition, not a contest). Attending the expo, watching the screening and jury films, meeting new people, hearing new ideas, seeing new things/places, new ways to make a movie (Second Life is a fascinating way to make a film IMO), hearing what others think and understanding why they think that way. Mark your calendar and attend if you can. It can be a really great experience full of great people.

I've also gone through this type of disappointment (in contests as well as expos/event submissions that I have spent mass amounts of work on) but my previous expo experiences have helped me to widen my vision a bit and to step outside the cocoon of the creator at times (the cocoon that keeps things cozy and insular).
