“In the twentieth century, the saying was ‘Everyone’s got a book in them.’ In the twenty-first century, we’ll say, ‘Everyone’s got a movie in them.’” - Dave Lloyd

A new year of the overcast kicks off with about an hour with Matt Kelland and Dave Lloyd of Short Fuze, the makers of Moviestorm. This conversation took place in November, and we talk about the history of Short Fuze, the formation of the idea for Moviestorm, inspirations for many of the product’s key features, their business model, their development philosophy, and their vision for the future of the craft of machinima.

The fourth and final interview from Machinima Festival Europe has Hugh and Johnnie talking with Burnie Burns and Jason “Schultz” Soldaña of Rooster Teeth Productions, the team behind Red vs. Blue.

Burnie and Jason talk about their “Top Machinima Moments,” as well as their difficulty getting in the door of the festival awards, their recollections of the first Red vs. Blue recording session, and they learn the identity of the man who ate their chicken dinner.

Paul Marino and Frank Dellario (of Ill Clan, now a part of Electric Sheep Company) were the third duo to be interviewed at Machinima Festival Europe 2007 by Hugh Hancock and Johnnie Ingram. I spent a few minutes with Paul and Frank to introduce this unforgettable show, where we discussed the events which led to what you will hear.

And Oh. My. Goodness.

Paul and Frank - at some point - do talk about their “Top 3 Machinima Moments,” but not without at the same time covering the origin of the word “fortnight,” the early days of Google, the Island of Rubber Products, Hugh’s black leather pants, Johnnie’s smoking jacket, and more.

The first two interviews of this series were Children’s Television Workshop compared to this. Prepare thyself.

ATTENTION: This podcast contains what one might call a gratuitous level of adult language. Listener discretion is advised.

Matt Kelland and Dave Lloyd (of Short Fuze / Moviestorm) were the second duo to be interviewed at Machinima Festival Europe 2007 by Hugh Hancock and Johnnie Ingram.

This time Matt and Dave talk about their “Top 3 Machinima Moments,” with Matt delivering the answers in a pantomime that translated surprisingly well to the audio. And they manage to give the shortest unofficial Moviestorm plug you will likely ever hear.

This special edition of the show features a live interview conducted by Hugh Hancock and Johnnie Ingram at the Machinima Festival Europe 2007, held last month in Leicester, UK at the De Montfort University Campus Centre. Hugh and Johnnie speak with Ross Bambrey and Steve Wallace, fellow members of Strange Company and collaborators on their feature film, BloodSpell.

Ross and Steve are asked to describe their “Top 3 Machinima Moments.” The high spirited discussion touches on several of their favorite machinima films as well as what making machinima sometimes has in common with driving under the influence. “Don’t drink and film…”

After much deliberation, we’ve decided to release this interview largely uncensored. BAC levels are running high, and there is more than a little bit of adult language here, so please be advised. I think I’ll restate that in bold.

ATTENTION: This podcast contains adult language. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
