Hi all,
I've noticed a new monthly podcast that may be of interest to some here called Completely Machinima.  Many interesting topics here and one of the hosts is Damien Valentine/Darth Angelus who is the creator of the Iclone Star Wars series Heir to the Empire (new episode out now!).

"A podcast about machinima, real-time filmmaking and a pinch of VR.  Once a month our four veteran machinimators will share news, new films and filmmakers and discuss the past, present and future of machinima."

Podcast 1 Summary - https://completelymachinima.buzzsprout.com/1566470/7598563-and-now-for-something-completely-machinima-podcast-episode-1-season-1

Our first podcast features four main sections along with a short satirical skit. We've created time-stamps for each section  and links for topics discussed are in the description.

Machinima News 

  • Ricky shares his discovery of a new Epic/Unreal Engine course for machinima filmmakers: Independent Filmmaking in the Unreal Engine. 
  • Phil updates us on the NVIDIA Omniverse Machinima feature which was announced in October 2020, but has yet to appear. 
  • Tracy tells us about the sale of Second Life and Disney's incredible virtual production Tomorrowland: Around the World and the supporting After Movie machinima. 
  • And finally, Damien shares his research into film festivals around the world that accept machinima films like FantaSci Short Film Festival and the New Media Film Festival

Machinima Films of the Month

  • Damien tells us about the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer remade in World of Warcraft called "World of Cyberpunk Trailer"
  • Tracy goes retro with her choice of an amazing machinima film "Beast" by Leo Lucien-Bey. 
  • Phil chooses a very contemporary film, "Sugar" by Evan Ryan shot in the brand-new machinima/animation tool "Nightmare Puppeteer" created by M dot Strange.
  • Ricky shares his love of "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" trailer by David Vann which was shot in Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2. 

Machinima Filmmaker Interview - David Vann

Ricky contacted the director of the "Town That Dreaded Sundown" trailer (David Vann) by phone and spoke with him about his background as a filmmaker and how he created his film in RDR2. David also spoke about his stop-motion Lego films which are hilarious and satirical. 

Machinima Group Discussion

Ricky posed two questions to his other three hosts 1, What is the difference between the terms "machinima", "real-time animation" and "virtual cinema?" and 2, What is the status of machinima in 2021? Is machinima in decline or are we advancing?  The answers ranged through machinima films/filmmakers past and present.

I just noticed you'd replied--sorry! Wanted to plug William Faucher's channel--he did the Halo Tribute they talked about. He's got some wonderful Unreal tutorials on there (and Substance Painter, but I don't use that). Anyway, wanted to highlight that, and having seen this now I'll go check out what's new at Completely Machinima since I've been there. Very cool site!
