10 April 2008. Inspired by talking aloud.
For those who might find themselves in Hull next week - and hey, who in this day and age can say that will never happen - the man Richards and myself will be doing a screening/talk entitled Playing Hollywood: The Rise of Machinima, as part of the Hull International Short Film Festival.
For all fans of storytelling, computer games, short films, silliness and big screen mayhem. Come along!
Here's the blurb from the catalogue:
"You don't need cameras to make films. Instead, get a Playstation. Amateur filmmakers around the world are doing just that, subverting videogames to tell their own stories, and sharing them online.
Showcasing the very best in the growing genre of 'machinima', Andrew Losowsky and Nick Richards will blow you away with comedies, action sequences, moving dramas and jaw-dropping art, all made with a mouse and gamepad. Neither gaming nor cinema will ever be the same again."
NEVER THE SAME AGAIN!
