Machinima for Dummies: BloodSpell: the feature-length version is now available

BloodSpell: the feature-length version is now available

We interrupt your regular MfD for this news…

The feature-length cut of BloodSpell is now available for viewing. This is a full feature film, made in Machinima using Neverwinter Nights, that took us (by which I mean me and a crew of about 25 other people coming in and out) four years to make. It has been featured on the BBC, Suicide Girls, Boingboing, USA Today’s blogging site, in the Guardian, the Telegraph, SFX magazine, and more.

It’s a “punk fantasy” adventure story - see here for the full scoop.

We’re really proud of it, and we think that it shows the full power of Machinima to enable people to make movies they couldn’t make any other way.

Enjoy.

It would seem that the DVD publishing program I have doesn’t support MOV (who would have thought?). Instead, I’m going to put it on CDs and give them to my friends who have iPod videos. I think my Xbox 360 supports MOV so I’m going to get to watch it on a good screen regardless :-P

Thanks Evan!

It should fit on a DVD, fingers crossed. Once you’ve gone to all that effort, why not burn a few more copies and give them to your friends? It’s Creative Commons, so that’s completely legal. In fact, we encourage it - word of mouth has been (and will continue to be) crucial to BloodSpell’s success.

Congratulations Hugh and Strange Company! I just finished downloading the MOV version this morning (had the computer on overnight) and I’m going to try to fit it onto a DVD tomorrow.

Once again, congratulations!

Evan
