Abso-facking-lutely HUGE Machinima film released

Heard of Machinima? It's the approach to filmmaking that uses computer game engines as sets and characters that gave us Red vs Blue.

Well, now Strange Company, the guys who invented the term "Machinima", have released the first episode of their latest film. They've been working on it for three years, it's the first feature-length film they've done and the largest Machinima project ever.

It's called BloodSpell. They describe it as a "post-goth punk fantasy adventure". It's set in a world where some people, the "Blooded", are infected with magic in their blood. When it is spilled, the magic comes out, whether to heal or kill.

When it's all out, BloodSpell will be approximately the same scale as the first Star Wars movie, but will have been made on the budget of 'Clerks'!

The first episode's available from the official site for free download under Creative Commons.
