World of Warcraft Machinima Takes Another Step Forward

13
World of Warcraft machinima creator Selserene has released her new movie, highly anticipated In For A Penny: Part One "On All Eight". This is the follow-on to the acclaimed trailer "In For A Penny: Prologue".

The movie itself is a story, a film noir with stunning visuals, a strong storyline and dialogue instead of flashy action with a thumping soundtrack like so many WoW machinima these days. So are we seeing a new trend in machinima? Will this become the new anime?

Machinima won't replace anime, but it's a nice medium imho.

I actually don't like anime much either, but I know it's extremely popular. I can imagine though, with a player base of 11 million people, that WoW machinima would also be very popular. To see the characters you play acting out a story is very satisfying - to me anyway :P

Most interesting. Machinima today is at a level of quality so it's really worth watching, in my opinion. Just a few years back it was the nerdiest thing. It's almost on par with "regular" animated films now!

Very atmospheric, but once again with these movies the voice acting lets it down unfortunately.

Compared to some of the stuff you see, the voice acting on this is pretty good ^ ^

Yeah, pretty good actually. Very many machinima films are using outrageously bad voice "acting"...

Well I heard Selserene's working on the script for the next one right now, so any suggestions, put them here - I'm sure she's keeping an eye on the feedback :)

MMOvie is very good, I agree, but it's in a completely different genre. It's like comparing Austin Powers and A Green Mile :P

Still, they're all machinima, so they are related =)

OTOH, same thing can be said about anime as well, as it also contains all different types of genres.
