As I continue the blog I will be highlighting the subjects in the conferences and more and help you to once again see even more why the AFM is the place to be. Only I think it is time now to put the
reality check to all those who want Machinima to be the accepted new medium for film-making and for the real life filmmakers who do Machinima and would like to know what the industry really thinks of us. This is not a discussion on Machinima and what is considered and what isn't considered Machinima or worthy, good or bad film-making. That is a topic for internal debate. This is about the real life film world's view on it and what their knowledge base is.
When I attended the AFM as I mentioned I received positive response from people when I mentioned Machinima to Financiers, Distributors and Agents. They seemed very interested in knowing more about what this medium was when they were not aware of it and also what it can do. For those who were aware of it there was great thirst to know the advances and what is the latest and greatest in terms of Second Life and updates to other grids and software. This is great news. As I saw people's faces light up and really want to know.
And then the reality of it came forward. Facts that are positive for those of us who know what this
means. This information is direct from people in the industry who do hold positions to make projects become realities. The facts come from those who are in the know of Machinima and those who are not as well and were there in impart their industry knowledge as all applicable to real life film-making. Here are two facts (for more you can contact direct):
