RIP Peter Rasmussen

This is the worst news I’ve ever reported in a blog post.

Peter Rasmussen, director of “Rendevous”, “Killer Robot” and “Stolen Life”, has died.

I held Peter in great regard both as a friend, a colleague and an extraordinarily talented filmmaker. Everyone involved in Machinima is lessened by this loss.

    I’m gutted and don’t know what to say, except…. shit.

    A shocking loss to us all. He was one of the great inspirations to me for making machinima and machinima tools.

    I’m deeply saddened to hear this news. Peter gave our craft a shining beam of spotlight with his films. I’ve been corresponding with Peter for a few months now and just began a writing project with him. I regret I could not have had more time in the company of his talent. RIP - Peter… John

  4. Avatar Johnnie Ingram said about 2 hours later:

    I’ve been astonished at the number of people who were collaborating with Pete in one way or another, myself included. I’ve spoken to several people so far who’s reaction to the news of his death has been “But I was only speaking to him last week! We were planning to do …”

    I think it’s fair to say that, if you got the chance to work with Peter, you didn’t turn the opportunity down.

  5. Avatar Ricky Grove said about 2 hours later:

    I’m very sad to hear about Peter’s death. As others have mentioned, I’ve been chatting with him by email for months. I feel like I’ve lost a good friend. What terrible news….

  6. Avatar Ann Garner said about 4 hours later:

    Peter and I have been corresponding for some time. He was a wonderful and talented guy and I was deeply saddened to hear this news today. RIP - Peter, all my love Ann xxx

    God, I don’t think I’ve spoken to him since I stopped working with Machinima .com. But, I still fondly remember him being a great guy to work with just from the little contact I had with him during the launch of “Rendevous”.

    The community is deffinately a lot poorer for his passing.

  8. Avatar Brian Mayberry said about 7 hours later:

    This is indeed both shocking and somber news. I have always been inspired by his work, specifically in legitimizing the craft with professionalism not normally seen in Machinima productions.

  9. Avatar Damien Valentine said about 12 hours later:

    I only spoke to him a few times during the monthly skype chats. He always struck me as being an interesting guy and I regret not getting to know him better.

    It is a sad day indeed.

    I am at a loss for words. I did not know Peter but I offer my condolences.

  11. Avatar Rosemary said about 18 hours later:

    I worked with Peter many years ago when he co-wrote the feature film In The Winter Dark with James Bogle. He was wonderful to work with then and its been amazing to see how he moved his extraordinary talents to his recent work. He was a great film maker and he will be sadly missed. I wish I had made the effort to tell him how much he was respected.

  12. Avatar CJ Ambrosia said about 23 hours later:

    My condolences to his family. Terrible news…

  13. Avatar David Dawes said 320 days later:

    I’ve JUST learned of Peter Rasmussen’s passing last year after I happened to catch In The Winter Dark this weekend on the ABC and by pure fluke I noticed his name in the credits and wondered … I read this thread, and some others, and Tony Stephen’s beautiful obituary. I took a few punts on Tony’s email address at Fairfax, but without success I was a school chum of Peter’s (years 1-8), but lost touch with him after moving. I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with contails details for his family (or by passing on my contact details to Hans &/or Marie).

  28. Avatar replica cartier watches said 761 days later:

    When we are planning to buy a replica cartier watches then we must be prepared to spend huge amount on one single watch. cartier watch has a large dial and it is designed for the professionals to add a professional look to them. The large dial of these watches attracts visitors very much and this is the specialty of the cartier watches. Taking this as an option many of the fake dealers came with an alternative option in the name of the cartier watch which are of low quality. They say that they provide you with the fake watches at a cheaper price than the usual one but they are not going to provide the bill for it or with some dummy bill.A fake watch might look like the original one but it is not the original one and it will lose its functionality and the look with in short duration of time. This will become a major blow to you as you will lose so much money and you will not get same response which you get with the original watches. So it is not a good idea to go with the dummy orreplica cartier watches.
