Do you/would you consider making machinima with any other game?
Absolutely, I am aiming to do that when I find such a game that fills my needs.
Why do you use WOW?
No alternative.
What made you start making machinima?
Seeing the PvE movie, AFGM: Rite of Passage. It made me start doing PvE vids but eventually I experimented with machinima.
What do you think you get out of making machinima? (Pleasure/profit/fame etc)
All of them! Though I'd like more profit and groupies.
Do you write a screenplay?
I've done that mistake a couple of times. But gladly, for my current big plotline project someone else is doing the writing.
Do you storyboard?
Nope, I fail at drawing.
What programs do you use?
Sony Vegas, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Particle Illusion 3 mainly.
Any difficulties with the programs?
Crashing.
How long does it normally take for you to make a film?
Depends. A crystal-clear idea will need a day. Something will take a year.
What, in a perfect world, would you like to do with your machinima?
An r-rated scifi/action/horror movie without any shitty Hollywood PG-13 limitations. Lots of action, spaceships and all that jazz.
Do you consider machinima work or fun?
Both.
What genre are your machinima (comedy/drama/music video, etc)
All of them. I've created a genre of my own, called "people walking movies" which are aimed to piss off the PvP movie watching retards.
What genre do you think suits WOW machinima best?
Almost anything as long as the limitations of WoW machinima are understood.
Do you have any favourite machinima other than your own?
Edge of Remorse
Would you like to see machinima gain a bigger audience?
Sure.
Do you think that WOW machinima in particular has appeal to an audience who do not play WOW?
It depends on the movie. If the content does not require any understanding of WoW itself - why not.
Anything else you would like to say?
A good murloc is a dead murloc.
