Slasher Contest
Upcoming Ed Wood Festival
from Machinimoo by flwrbabe@gmail.com (moo Money)
I’d just like to give all the machinimists a heads up about the Take5 Machinima Festival format this month. In honor of October, we’re having an Ed Wood Film Festival. Machinimists will be given a theme roughly 72 hours before Halloween and tasked to make an awesomely bad horror film in that time. It’s not supposed to be a masterpiece, so anyone can participate! I’ll have more details on the time of the party in the coming week.
Who was Ed Wood?
* Ed Wood was a filmmaker who created ultra-low budget B movies. He was posthumously recognized as the “Worst Director of All Time” for films such as Plan 9 From Outer Space and Glen or Glenda. He wrote, directed, and sometimes acted in his films. He also made them fast - filming sometimes as many as 30 scenes in a single day. Find out more from wikipedia.
What is Machinima?
* Machinima is the art of making a movie using a game engine to render the action in real time. While it is not as sophisticated as a tools like 3dMax or Maya, Creating a film in Second Life is free, easy, and fast. For more information, check out Machinima.com.
How do I make it?
* It’s pretty easy - stay tuned to this spot, A really fast and bad tutorial can be found here. I will also answer questions at our forums.
Other stuff
* This festival is put on by fans of Ed Wood and Second Life. No Infringement is intended on either of them. By submitting a entry, you grant Alt-Zoom Studios the right to use your film in promotional material, unless you request otherwise. Films with illegal or broadly offensive elements will not be eligible for screening or prizes.
