Examiner Peter Tieryas had the chance to do a video interview with Jeremy Azevedo, Head of Entertainment Programming of Machinima, at the Machinima Interactive Film Festival MIFF. Some of the topics covered in the interview included the collaboration with Iam8Bit, what inspired the gallery, and a bit about the selection process. As you can tell from the loud music in the background, it was a happening event!
Following on from the removal of its entire library of videos, Machinima is closing, owners Otter Media confirmed to Deadline late last week. The site reports that 81 employees have been laid off as part of the move, which Deadline confirmed via a WARN report filing.
Here are our thoughts on some of the major gaming news from the past week. The selection of references is based entirely on personal interest level. End of. Also; it might not be weekly.
Hugh Hancock, the founding father of Machinima and subsequently Strange Company has unexpectedly passed away.
RIP Dude.
Machinima was a big part of my teenage years especially during my Halo 2/3 years.
Thought he'd at least get a mention on the Youtube channel or even the Machinima website as it probably wouldn't have existed without him. Sad though, RIP.
RIP
I haven't watched Machinima since Halo 2/Halo 3 but I really enjoyed it back then.
great interview, i love iam8bit and the machinima videos have been amazing
