Morphing Avs: The Mask
CDB Barkley (aka Alan Levine) : Nov 14, 2007 09:19am
Just popping up yesterday on the web video circuits, bouncing around by email notices, are references to another beautiful machinima by Robbie Dingo, The Mask. From opening credits:
War-paint. Camouflage. Concealment. Act of self-expression or of belonging to a group. Representation, reflection, or pretense? For protection sometimes; actually often. A curtain, a screen, a veil behind which to hide. A shield, disguise or figment. Often fanciful though – ones persona, like war-paint. Masks and avatars. Behind each, a person, with hopes and fears, with feelings often much deeper than the side they show; actually, always.
For extra bonus points, see how many avatars you can identify who are from the NMC community (it is considered cheating to look at the credits, but hey, I did anyhow). I think I saw 6.
Should there ever be some sort of Academy Awards for Machinima (“I got a Machinny”), I’d certainly toss all my votes for the brilliant videos by Robbie Dingo- to learn more about his work and see even more lovely videos, visit My Digital Double or see his channel on blip.tv.
