And Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS5 E174 creativeAI: The Glurons (Mar 2025)One of the most extraordinary picks we've made, probably ever, on the show! This week, we review an emergent absurdist talk show, focussing on the life of the Glurons - a post-human race of critters set in a future world, but most creatively uses generative AI tools.  Its outstanding quality is, however, the writing.  Check out our review and pick up the links mentioned on our show notes blog post on the Completely Machinima website (link below).1:27 A first for a machinima show: Unanswered Oddities by Neural Viz, episode 7 is part of a creative AI series, a ta...2025-03-2033 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS5 E172 GTA San Andreas: The Days After (Mar 2025)This week we review a 'golden age' machinima, starring none other than Ricky Grove playing 'Bogart', and Ingrid Moon playing err, 'Ingrid', with Phil having created the score and Ricky having produced the sound design.  Its a short by German-American creator, Andre Pesch, called The Days After, made in GTA San Andreas. Its a story that pre-2020 probably we'd have all said, simply, yep that was great, without any real appreciation for what is actually being portrayed in this 2006 film. However, there's a sense in which this now brings back memories of lockdowns and isolation, and the fear of a...2025-03-0646 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS5 E171 Documenting Historic Events: Elite Dangerous (Feb 2025)A once in a lifetime event in Elite Dangerous? Yup, that's what fascinated us all too.  This week we review a series of machinimas that approach the destruction of a Thargoid ship attacking planet Earth in different ways - a strange and unusual phenomenon in a game world that we reflect on, only possible in open world sims.  1:30 Elite Dangerous: an historic event – Thargoids heading for Earth3:30 The ship’s problems, community action, the countdown and the consequences – a once in a lifetime event in the game5:30 Recording the event: a documentary; first person r...2025-02-2721 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS5 E168 We Are Demo | Commodore 64 (Feb 2025)This week's pick is nostalgic for a time before machinima... its a rare look back at the demoscene era that informed and influenced the evolution of machinima all those years ago.  The film selection is called We Are Demo, made in 2016 by Fairlight, Noice, Offence, and it was originally shared on X by the Commodore Computer Museum.

Ridiculous Ties (Jan 2025)This week's #machinima short is ridiculous, yep Ridiculous Ties - a meme response to Eltorro64Rus' review of favorite and least favorite words used by the Scientist in Half Life, created by Finzlow.  And did we say its ridiculous?!  We love the well-crafted humor in this, in-jokes with some of the best timing and inspired editing we've seen for quite some time. Although its strictly not machinima, it is definitely from a machinima stable, so it counts for us at least.  Our review -1:01 Intro to the film, models and the stylistic choices Finzlow has made, Marx Bro...2025-01-1629 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS5 E161 Classic vs Contemporary Xmas Sillies (Dec 2024)Not an actual comparison but a review of two shorts: The Internet is for Porn by Evilhoof & Flayed, originally released way back in 2005 and The Marstons Celebrate Christmas, But Things Get Out of Hand, by Paradise385 released 22 Dec 2023.  Lots of lampoonery in both our reviews, but we especially hope you enjoy watching them.

This is the animated and stylized sequel we've all been waiting for, set immediately after the events reported in the film.  It has been written and directed by Biggs Trek, aka Philip Browne, whose creative talent shines through in this.  1:19 Intro to the film 6:00 Takes us back to the original film, in a very good way! 14:52 A couple of quibbles? 19:53 Color grading 23:00 Clay face 27:00 Eye movementCredits Speakers: Ricky Gr...2024-10-2432 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E147 BeamNG Drive: Realistic FreeWay Crashes #10 (Sept 2024)In this ep, we discuss a film by Patrick Zeugirdor, which uses the game BeamNG to simulate realistic freeway crashes. The game features advanced physics and modding capabilities, allowing for detailed crash simulations. The film shows various crash scenarios, each with multiple camera perspectives, highlighting the game's recamming feature. We debate the film's educational value, its potential to encourage poor driving behavior, and its popularity due to morbid curiosity - a good combination? Suffice to say, it evokes some strong emotions from us! We also discuss the game's potential for use in narrative storytelling and its realistic portrayal of...2024-09-1942 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E145 Video essay: The Game of Video (Sept 2024)What is #machinima?! Good question these days, and this week we review a new video essay on tackling just that question... which is always interesting for us pioneers and vets to reflect on in this podcast. In the vid we review, Collin Aull introduces a few thoughts we've not really considered before, plus some comments we've discussed many times over the years, so its worth a listen as well as if you want to spot some of the older machinimas from those very early years in the narrative edit. 1:14 Ricky discusses his latest performance award success 8:49...2024-09-0546 minDon\'t Die Rusty PodcastDon't Die Rusty PodcastDDR 028 - Tony Peniche & Phil Robinson: Pacific Northwest Survival GamesIn this conversation, Ricky Brule and Rick Hanson interview Tony Peniche and Phil Robinson, the founders of the Pacific Northwest Survival Games. They discuss the origins of the event and its format, which includes a two-day workshop and competition with seven challenges. The event is open to both amateurs and experienced survivalists, and participants receive a 30-minute lesson from an expert before completing a 60-minute challenge. The founders also discuss their plans for the future, including expanding to other regions and potentially partnering with organizations like the Boy Scouts of America and Tough Mudder.

(GTA5) (Aug 2024)Crazy, it is certainly that - and more. If you enjoy slasher horror, we think you'll love this - and its definitely not for U18s! The film is by Toaster and is a music video for Code Mistake, a deathcore metal spectacular by CORPSE and Bring Me the Horizon. We examine Toaster's GTA5 machinima, reflect on its anime qualities, and conclude its significantly better than the official music video: Ricky discusses it in the context of Stan Brakhage's Dog Star Man, but Phil, Tracy & Damien feel the inspiration is much closer to home.1:29 Ricky’s introduction to...2024-08-0126 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E138 Cyberpunk+Found Footage: Inner Migration (July 2024)This week's film is a machinima that deals with pollution in the most overt way it can.  Andy Hughes' Inner Migration juxtaposes Cyberpunk 2077 against some 'found footage' taken from early 40s/60s films and General Motors corporate 'forecast' of the future of technology. We discuss how machinima is an interesting way to explore social commentary and analyze the use of video games as a medium for artistic expression and engaging young people in social responsibility. We also reflect on the potential of media and science fiction to inspire change and address social ills. Our conversation concludes with insights on h...2024-07-181h 06And Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E136 GTA5: Los Santos police throw themselves into offering box (July 2024)This week's film review is of [GTA5] 賽銭箱に身を投げる ロスサントス市警察, made by  @mzanku - its absurdist humor but also deeply disturbing, which hits us all in different ways around half way through watching the film. Following our discussions, we conclude the creator probably didn't intend for the work to be culturally appropriated as an interpretation of US police brutality, but that interpretation was nonetheless possible. In closing out the ep, Ricky discusses the new DLC for Elden Ring and the role cheese plays in enjoying it.Credits - Speakers: Ricky Grove, Phil Rice, Tracy Harwood, Damien Valentine Producer: Ricky Grove Editor: Phil Rice M2024-07-0448 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaCompletely Machinima Interview: Phil Rice, funny man (June 2024)Welcome to our latest bonus episode.  We had the pleasure of catching up with Phil Rice aka zsOverman to talk exclusively about his latest machinima, called Being Moses.  If there's such as thing as a parody of a Let's Play, this film is it!   Check out Phil's comments and watch the film - links on our show notes web post.Credits -Speakers: Phil Rice, Tracy Harwood, Damien ValentineProducer: Tracy HarwoodEditor: Phil RiceMusic: Animo Domini Beats2024-06-1544 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E132 Star Citizen: 60 Seconds of Horror (Jun 2024)A compelling and powerful story of one man's quest to remain sane on an isolated planet.

Blackholes & New York (Apr 2024)This week, we discuss one of the most outstanding presentations of space science, by  @EpicSpaceman , called I put 4M Suns in a Blackhole. Made in Blender, we discuss the creative workflow adopted, from zero to hero - and why the  @BlenderOfficial Foundation should take note. We make a few suggestions for enhancing the work even more and discuss the primary audiences for this type of conrtent.

Emesis Blue, made in Source Filmmaker using the Team Fortress 2 characterisations by Fortress Films, is an incredibly well-made if very complex story that was crafted over many years.    1:30 Overview of the plot, twists and the filmmaker8:33 Ambiguity vs over-complex?9:29 The merits of the long format for this film10:15 Its all in the knitting11:30 The first 20 minutes are exceptional12:38 The imp...2024-03-0745 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E115 Machinima News Omnibus (Feb 2024)This week, we spend some time talking about new tools, emergent topics, AI and copyright (again), with some interesting links for you on our show notes -2:45 New tools for machinima makers, including iClone 8 crowd sim, Kenneth MacLean’s MegaHumans WIP and Praydog’s VR mod8:07 SAG AFTRA update on voice acting using AIs, Replica Studios15:32 Mickey and friends, steamboating ahead without the Mothership and Princeton’s annual Public Domain Review report18:13 Increasing the resolution of your machinima films – there’s an AI that can help with that!20:02 Valve releases g...2024-02-0839 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E112 Sims: The Fixer Series (Jan 2024)We take a look at one of the best machinima series we've ever seen this week... from the annals of history. The Fixer series was a crime drama created by Todd Stallkamp (aka Burnt Coffee Productions aka TodNYC28) made in Sims 2 and originally released in 2006. Todd was part of the first brain drain from the world of machinima, and shortly after the release of this series was snapped up by EA Games as a content creator where he still is, ironically now in charge of the Sims amongst other games in its portfolio.

The first is a 'tell and show' with a neat cinematic demo invoking Starship Troopers, and the second is a slightly more original lore-based teaser for an upcoming series called The Mantis. We begin this episode with an update on Star Citizen’s new spin off game, Squadron 42, which is now ‘feature complete’ and their launch of a new contest which can be entered on TikTok, leading Tracy to speculate on their strategic response to the release of Starfield!

This week, we discuss two films using generative AI to create narrative works.  In both cases, the techniques employed emphasize the sound - music or voice acting - but whilst one is intentional, the other is not.  We share our thoughts on these works and discuss some of the current limitations and benefits observed, which leads us into a timely discussion about style in filmmaking.  We also discuss some recent developments in AI for creatives, such as the role of Glaze masking and Nightshade corrupting tools.1:36 Glaze and Nightshade gen...2023-11-0948 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E101 Avant Garde: 9 by Claus Dieter Schulz (Nov 2023)In this episode, we review one of the first avant garde machinima pieces created by the community.  The film is called 9, by German machinimator Claus-Dieter Schulz, has been restored by Phil and is re-presented on his Machiniplex Remastered channel. It is a notable example of modernist cinema which moves towards abstraction and it is clear to see that Claus-Dieter was inspired by the likes of Oskar Fischinger, Hans Richter and Stan Brakhage.  There were very few in the early days of machinima that turned in this creative direction, where most creators were instead inspired to devise original stories inspired by...2023-11-0233 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS4 E100 Special: Machinima ReflectionsCelebrating our 100th episode on the CM podcast/YouTube show, we reflect how far machinima has come and some of the recent trends we've observed in our film reviews - a medium we all love.

We review three examples of the works being created, variously using levels of the rapidly evolving game: Chaos in the Hub by  @BackroomsMerchant is probably the most close to the original horror vibe; Endless Escalators by  @ReturnToRender is an example of great comedic timing; and Crab Rave - Backrooms Edition by  @Madlykeanu is just pure fun, and an example of a meme upon a meme.

The film sequencing of the craft in flight in Into Black shows the competence of the creator whereas the human element encapsulated by the robot in Terra is particularly engaging and adds a different dimension to the storytelling.

The film, which is in two episodes, won a heap of creator awards back in the day and has definitely stood the test of time for us. There are some fun sci-fi and weird tropes integrated into the story, which we discuss, as well as the very well done sound design and original music.

Its a beautiful cinematic travelogue showcasing the vast expansiveness that is No Man's Sky - a game in which you will almost never have the same experience twice.  Of course, Ricky wanted more drama and story but Phil nails it, reflecting on what might be possible if you could use No Man Sky's environments with Eve Online's space battles and Star Citizen's avatars!  Yeah... but that's not this film!Key points -7:38 Music by Confidential MX, Rebirth Overtone2023-08-2422 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS3 Special: Machiniplex IntroIn this ep, Phil introduces the Machiniplex [Remastered] Collection, a curated selection of machinimas from the early years. Machiniplex was a site created to host classic machinimas at the point that Machinima [dot] com began to assert its energies over the community as a corporate entity.  The site was a community endeavour, with both Ricky and Phil playing a pivitol role in managing the project to preserve the original content the community had contributed to the early original Machinima website... until such time as it ran its course.  Phil and Ricky reminisce about the origins of Machiniplex and its co...2023-07-2842 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS3 E86 RDR2: The MODDED Wacky West (July 2023)This week's review is of 12 minutes of the wackiest of Wacky Wests we could ever imagine!

They also reflect on just how wealthy (with in-game currency) the creators of this work actually have to be!  0:05 Intro to th...2023-05-1827 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS3 E76 Film Review: After War (May 2023)This week, Ricky, Phil and Damien begin with an brief discussion of the roles AI is being used for to restore old machinimas, and in particular the very exciting upcoming release Phil will be doing of old Machiniplex films - more on that in due course!  The film discussion centres on After War by RG Studios, and their approach to telling a story without moving a camera in the Half Life 2 world. 3:19 Ethical considerations in upscaling. 5:35 How good is the game? 7:59 How to choose a film. 11:43 Single camera in one p...2023-05-0421 minAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaAnd Now For Something Completely MachinimaS3 E75 Film Review: Patient Zero - A Half Life Short (April 2023)Recently, we've seen some really great HL2 shorts, and this week we have an excellent one for you - Patient Zero is by TheParryGod aka Richard Makk, released in Feb.

We were not disappointed: the film and work stands up to AAA Assassin's Creed Odyssey studio work, but with amazing detail of historical artefacts and storytelling, which is even evident in the way clothes move on characters.

We discuss the nature of consciousness, awakening, the structure of the brain, discoveries from neuroscience, meditation, the nature of time, and so much more.
