@Gideon: Most of the Home machinima I’ve seen just isn’t very…well, *interesting.* Virtual reality is by definition a soulless medium, and most machinima produces a sort of Uncanny Valley effect in me. It takes a really good filmmaker (or team) to produce a final product that’s genuinely entertaining to watch for the general public, and not just the people involved.

My biggest hope is that HSM can put together machinima which other people might actually enjoy, and look back upon a year from now as a good piece of work. If we can achieve this — and so far I think all the filmmakers on the team are doing a great job with this — then we will have realized our goal.

Seems like you’re having fun! That’s what’s important there!

With machinima, so much of the whizbangery has to take place with effects and editing, which is why I’m exceedingly grateful to the HSM team for putting up with my fumbling attempts at shooting an ensemble for the first time.

@johneboy: It’s actually *really* funny that you just sort of videobomb the movie, like Johnny from “Airplane!” did. Epic win.

@Orion: Hey, thanks for *being* a part of it! As soon as I saw your avatar on the bridge, I said aloud, “Holy crap, it’s Toshiro Mifune!”
