I thought people were only making pvp videos set to linkin park.
What do you think you get out of making machinima? (Pleasure/profit/fame etc)
Few people make machinima I want to see. BAsically a lot of he movies I make for my own enjoyment. Or to prove to my gf how rad i am.
also I like Olibith.

nope.

a week or so. i dunno.
What, in a perfect world, would you like to do with your machinima?
A long time ago the answer wouldve been "use it to meet Cat Schwartz". Not too long ago the answer wouldve been "use it to meet Olivia Munn". But i have a gf now... so... ummm... basically I want to be the John Cusack of machinima. He's never at the top of your list, but you always remember he's your fav when you're watching his movies
Do you consider machinima work or fun?
fun. once it's work, i stop and put on Venture Bros.
What genre are your machinima (comedy/drama/music video, etc)
i guess music video-ish.
What genre do you think suits WOW machinima best?
surreal, abstract pop art. Olibith.
Do you have any favourite machinima other than your own?
Olibith. Legs. Selserene. Baron. Pinkhair. yada yada... and that dude who makes 3d modeled gnomes that sing like french pop songs.
Would you like to see machinima gain a bigger audience?
no.
Do you think that WOW machinima in particular has appeal to an audience who do not play WOW?
I would think so. WoW on its own draws from so many pop culture references that those references alone should appeal to non WoWers here and there. or not. /shrug

watch this video of
a cat sitting at a table and eating. it kills me every time.
