13 Machinima films to be featured at Austin Game Conference
by Jolex Del Pilar

Tuesday, August 26, 2003

Game films getting recognition.

The Austin Game Initiative working in cooperation with the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences announced the 13 Machinima Films to be showcased at the Austin Game Conference Sept 11-12 at the Austin Convention Center - http://www.GameConference.com/ .

Machinima is filmmaking within a real-time, 3D virtual environment. The Machinima Theater is sponsored by NVIDIA Corporation and VxO Networks, Inc.

Machinima is the convergence of filmmaking, animation and game development. By combining the techniques of filmmaking, the flexibility of animation production and the technology of real-time 3D game engines, Machinima makes for a very cost- and time-efficient way to produce films.

The Austin Game Conference is focused on the hottest, high-growth segments in the $11 billion global computer and video game market. In addition to a Machinima Theater the conference boasts 65 speakers in 48 sessions and 6 tracks; a Technology Pavilion showcasing the latest tools, technologies, products and services, plus LivePitch, an exclusive opportunity for independent developers to demo their games to leading publishers.

The Austin Game Conference will be showcasing the following Machinima films throughout the conference:

- Zero 7's "In the Waiting Line", by Fountainhead Entertainment/Ghost Robot, Tommy Pallotta, Director (first Machinima Music Video to air on MTV)
- "Hardly Workin'" by the ILL Clan
- "Common Sense Cooking with Carl the Cook" by the ILL Clan
- Selected Machinima Shorts by Mike Beery
- "Fake Science" by Dead on Que
- "Anachronox: The Movie" by Jake Hughes and Tom Hall
- "Warthog Jump" by Randall Glass
- "The Blood Gulch Chronicles" by Red Vs. Blue
- "Rendezvous" by Peter Rasmussen/Nanoflix
- "Rebel Vs. Thug" by Ken Thain

"The Austin Game Conference is a great place to showcase and bring
additional awareness to Machinima." said Paul Marino, Executive Director of the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences. "Not only is the venue perfect for Machinima as a whole, but some key Machinima productions have originated right in Austin. We're extremely honored to have been invited to the event and glad to support the Conference in its inaugural year."
