Machinima Expo: A Good Day at the Races!

Tutsy, Pixie & Nitro backstage at Machinima Expo Award Ceremony

This year’s Machinima Expo has just concluded – it was a good day at the races!

Of the six major awards, Tutsy’s films were awarded three.

The final results are:

The “Open This End” Award for outstanding film making was awarded equally to three films:

          - The Chapelside Deception by IceAxe (UK, Moviestorm)

- Wulf and Eadwacer by Hypatia Pickens (US, Second Life)

- The Last Syllable of Recorded Time by Tutsy Navarathna (France/India, Second Life)

The 1^st and 2^nd Jury Prizes were awarded to:

          - MetaSex by Tutsy Navarathna

          - The Last Syllable of Recorded Time by Tutsy Navarathna

The 3^rd Jury Prize was awarded to:

-      Wulf and Eadwacer by Hypatia Pickens

The 4^th Jury Prize was awarded to:

          - Unfinished Paintings by Miron Lockett (US, iClone)

The Grand Prize Winning Film was awarded to:

          - The Chapelside Deception by IceAxe (UK, Moviestorm)

If you get the chance, I’d especially recommend watching Miron Locket’s ‘Unfinished Paintings’. This is a great, fun high-tone production made in iClone by a clearly extremely talented guy, musically and visually. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to locate the film on the net to embed here, but when I do I will.

Hypatia Pickens’ ‘Wulf and Eadwacer’ is based on an Old English poem and has a great rhythm and beat. Definitely worth watching.

‘The Chapelside Deception’ by IceAxe is a more conventional narrative film consisting of “a beginning, middle and end”. Created using MovieStorm, it tells the story of corruption in a soccer team during the 1970s.

As part of the Expo, Tutsy was asked to produce a video interview based on questions supplied by Ricky Grove. I provided the translation from French to English.

For the first time, we can now release that interview publically.

Enjoy it best in 720 or 1080HD!
