Machinima
Machinima is the term for creating a scripted movie using a computer game.
Our first movie is Pandora's Box.
The sequel is called Pandora's Box II: Showdown.
And work has begun on our next movie.
Pandora's Box
During the spring of 2003 we came up with the idea to create a small scale machinima movie.
Machil wrote the script and Michiel created all the levels and did the editing.
During a three day lasting lan together with Ivan and Alex, and the online assistance of some fonzie friends, the recordings took place.
The movie was a relatively big succes, with about 20 000 downloads. Download links can be found at the the website of the
sequel.
Pandora's Box II: Showdown
The positive feedback of the first movie motivated us to create a sequel.
We've had learned from the prequel, and decided to put more effort in this movie.
Machil wrote the script again. Michiel and Ivan created the levels.
From script writing to release it took nine months to complete.
The movie was longer than the prequel.
It also featured a carchase and an original soundtrack, created by The Family God, an infamous machinima producer.
The movie was received pretty well; although a large portion of the viewers suggested a better writing and acting for our next movie.
