Nicole Small, currently in the final year of her BA (Hons) degree in Film and Media Studies at UCS, has created this awesome short promo for the forthcoming Machinima Expo 2009. There’s Sims 3, Second Life, and what looks like a bit of Quake III Arena/Machinimation 1 and World of Warcraft – all in a glorious greenscreened melange of machinima!

Another of Nicole’s machinima pieces will be showing at the festival, as part of the UCS student showreel. The showreel includes the following works:
Ben Deakin, When Mr Deff Comes Calling
Alexandra Burnell, The Tell-Tale Heart
Mark McLaughlin and David Hunter, S.P.A.Z.
Aaron Giles, American Beauty
Alan Salmon, Soldiers of War: Tribute
Aaron Bridgeforth, Dante Vein Interview
Nicole Small, Carmilla
It’s great that these pieces will be seen by an international audience along with some of the most exciting and cutting-edge machinima around.
A full list of the films in the running for prizes can be seen here: http://machiniplex.net/expo/films-screening-at-the-expo/
As well as the film festival itself, and the associated awards to be given by a panel of judges, there’ll be other things going on too, such as discussion panels, Q&A sessions with machinima directors, presentations and various exhibits and stands (it’ll be a bit like the Latitude festival, except it won’t be in a field).
Of particular note is a presentation called “Which Machinima Engine For You?” for will be of interest to those who want to get started in machinima and who might be wondering which game to use (did I mention machinima is the art of making films using games technology?)
Another highpoint will be an installation featuring the work of machinimator Lainy Voom. Her wesbite is here: http://www.voom-machine.com/
Meanwhile, if you have two minutes to spare, spend them watching her recent film, Push, which was screened at the Cambridge Film Festival. It can be found here: http://vimeo.com/5543976
