Do you/would you consider making machinima with any other game?
yep

Why do you use WOW?
good support, plus I like the community

What made you start making machinima?
A WoW music machinima ("The Hardware Store") made me stumble upon Warcraftmovies.And off I went.

What do you think you get out of making machinima? (Pleasure/profit/fame etc)
personal satisfaction (it's like painting a picture, writing a book, mastering a wing chun form, well, any particular art), entertainment for the audience.

Do you write a screenplay?
yep

Do you storyboard?
yup


What programs do you use?
aside the games I use:

- fraps
- WoW model viewer
- Half life mods of all kinds
- VirtualDub
- Magix video Deluxe
- Ulead Photo Impact (not sure about the exact name now..)



Any difficulties with the programs?
the usual...basically beginners problems, so by now I am fine.

How long does it normally take for you to make a film?
depends on the lenght of the film...and RL influences.
At least two weeks.
"In Frost We Trust" took me half a year of constant work (at least 20 hours per week)


What, in a perfect world, would you like to do with your machinima?
entertain people.

Do you consider machinima work or fun?
both, it's impossible to seperate those two.

What genre are your machinima (comedy/drama/music video, etc)
music, guide, comedy (in progress)

What genre do you think suits WOW machinima best?
all genres you find listed at WcM. Each genre has some shiny diamonds to offer.I personally prefer non PvP/Arena/Battleground movies, but even these genres offer some movies with a touch of machinima.

Do you have any favourite machinima other than your own?
a lot.

Would you like to see machinima gain a bigger audience?
yes I would, and yes it does.

Do you think that WOW machinima in particular has appeal to an audience who do not play WOW?
quite some of them do, without a doubt.

Anything else you would like to say?
