    Hiho, it's ilili again

    I was wondering if you could tell me some machinimators you recommend. I'll list those I know so far:
    Myndflame (Illegal Danish)
    Oblivious Films (The Grind)
    Chef Films (Trev and Eroth, Meet the Pollock)
    WoW Outcast Network (Kelthuzar, Banjo, Patches, Joykiller)
    Whoever made Tales of the Past and Divided Soul (NEVER gets old)
    BlindManStudios (Erunno)
    BaronSoosdon (I have yet to watch his stuff)
    Stone Falcon Productions (Snacky's Journal)
    Whoever made Blind (but it gets old)
    Ian Beckman (Azerothian Super Villains)
    RedEyeMovies (Frontline, Mangletooth)
    and of course, Oxhorn (ROFLMAO, Invented Swear Words)
    And thats about it. Please tell me if you know more.
    I want to say beforehand, I prefer action and drama oriented machinima, dislike horror (despite the Sheepmen ololol) and music videos if they aren't about the categories listed above. Thanks for your attention.

    Illegal Danish was a very out-of-left-field machinima. It's really good, don't get me wrong, but it had such strange subtext and such that it was very odd even for then.

    The Grind is a classic, no ifs ands or buts. I LOVED the resolution at the very end. I love every character and the situations where so wacky and unique that it's hard to stop laughing when you see the "Gnomail" guy just charge into Orgrimmar.

    I gotta be honest, I know he comes here, but I don't like WoW Outcast Network. I know it's amateur stuff, but it's so half and half (Voice acting, writing, visuals) sometimes at the same time that I can't enjoy it.

    Tales of the Past does get old after a while, but it's definitely a thrill to watch the first time. It's got great cinematography and interesting use of it's characters, even if the plot is so beaten and tarnished it's nigh incomprehensible by movie's end.

    BaronSoosdon is a vulgar guy. I still like his work, but I prefer it when he doesn't just have some sort of stupid montage of gnomes dancing on a mountain or two trolls getting down and dirty. You can (or used to) find him oft on the WoWmodelviewer forums.

    Snacky's Journal has the most stellar production values in a machinima short, Oxhorn tagging close behind (we love you!). Voice Acting is amazing, animations are cleverly integrated, and the story line borderlines on sitcom and realistic (which a lot of sitcoms fail at). I wish he'd make more, but the ending was a heart-warming conclusion.

    Azerothian Super Villains is a nice little diversion for those who just like really silly parodies with no real purpose. The animations aren't realistic and the character placement is always questionable but the great voice and mind of Ian Beckman is just so enjoyable.

    Redeye is, of course, the master of editing. He's very well versed in techniques of video and crams a lot of detail into any work he does.

    WoW Outcast Network doesn't have any special effects, nor any storytelling or stuff like that, but the voice acting is really good in my opinion (especially Kelthuzar), the jokes aren't really bad and for beginners work it's quite enjoyable. I will have to find out for myself if BaronSoosdon is really a vulgar guy if I have the time. Usually I dislike vulgar Machinima, if the comedy sucks and the vulgar parts are too extreme.
    But are the artists listed above really all artists worth mentioning?

    I've never liked Baron Soosdon's machinimas, yes they are very polished, generally but they are strange as hell and I don't connect with them.

    (Dude Where's My Mount) isn't too bad, it has it's funny bits. Not sure who produces those but there's quite a few of them. My name's Dave coincidentally and my friend always has to reference this series whenever she can.

    Other than that I think you listed most of the ones I'm familiar with and a few I'm not, which I'm going to check out later when I have some time.
    Cheers.

    Is the for only WoW machinima? If not I'd like to add two.

    Red vs Blue - Rooster Teeth Productions - Halo 3

    Forecast the Series - Young Street Productions - Halo 3

    Is it sad that I spent six minutes trying to think of something clever to say here?

    Yep, it's only for WoW machinima, but some people will probably check out those Halo ones you posted.

    I liked the Halo series PreGameLobby... From the direction they were going in, they would have created an interesting and unique cross between live-action and machinima series... Sadly they canceled the series just as I was getting to befriend the cast >_>

    I seriously must not be a big geek, I know fewer machinima artists than you listed and the few I COULD remember were on that list of course...

    And whoever came up with the idea for this parody was rather clever.

    Yea, nice one Nos, my friend actually linked that to me a couple of weeks ago. It is clever how they adapted it.

    HAHA! Now I can view it! But it's not a pic....
    I already know that one, but it's still one of the funniest I've ever watched, even without special effects :P
