There Goes the Neighborhood

While this post is not directly related to machinima, it impacts a lot of people. Yesterday Microsoft announced that fall dashboard update for the xbox 360 would consist of a 'new' interface for the xbox 360. It will apparently sport a avatar system (strangely similar the the mii's) along with several games that will support the avatars. My impression is of disgust; The current dashboard is great, why fix something that isn't broken? The avatars are just a way for the xbox 360 to seem casual and friendly, and yet in the same keynote Microsoft showed off game play videos of gears of war and fallout 3. This gives the appearance to the average consumer that the xbox 360 is going through some kind of freakish identity crisis. They had some cool announcements like netflix movies on marketplace among others. I guess time will tell weather things will change for the better or worse for the xbox 360.

New Project!

A while ago I posted a preview to a new project that we are working on titled 'Halo 3 Shenanigans'. The video will a sort of homage to halo music video hell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19KoKVkTNF0). We hope that it will not be received as a copy, I guess it will be up to the viewers, anyway if you are unaware of the preview we posted, here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5K3vBpvBKE

I am happy to announce that Velox (latin for quick or fast) Studioes is up and running. We are a studio that creates machinima (using video games to make movies and skits). We hope to make machinima at a fairly often basis. Details of our different projects will emerge...
