About this listen
This week's ep focusses on the 2024 Crowbar Productions Machinima Mayhem contest winner: Fragile Harmony, made in Garry's Mod by Logan and released on 9 Sept 2024. Logan sent this in for us to take a look at, and we're sure glad he did. Yes there are a few things we could be critical about, but storytelling isn't one of them. Check out our review and leave your comments in the usual way.
1:14 Introduction by Phil, a classic Philip K Dick sci fi, storytelling and production values: deer in the headlights
9:16 Emotional reactions, lip sync and the aesthetic quality of machinima, the introduction of zombie behaviour
13:30 Pacing and its impact on first reactions to the film
19:40 The background to the film
22:30 Setting up the story – the monotony is critical
26:35 Editing and lip sync
27:09 Sound design is immersive contrasting with the monotony of the first part of the story
29:06 Confusion from the mundane, the change in pacing and tempo, the silence - what is the real horror story here?
33: 51 A few tips, our discussion: what we loved and what we miss in the editing
