Subprime - a Film by Mike Winkelmann

Watch the American housing market spiral out of control in this animated film by Mike “beeple” Winkelmann. All of the animation was done by hand using Cinema 4D (C4D Cafe tutorials) from Maxon.

Who or what is a ‘beeple‘?

Beeple (the person) is Mike Winkelmann and I'’m a graphic designer and also I make short films and music videos in my spare time and also my films have been screened at a few fests and rejected at even more and most of my video work deals with the precise syncing of audio and video and most of my illustration work deals with trying hard not to suck ass and bye.

Beeple (the animals) are soft, fuzzy, little creatures that are 100% real and not stuffed toys and they can tell you cool things if you listen very closely and you’re not an assfuck. (source)

Freeman’s Mind, episode 6 of a Half-Life Machinima Series by Ross Scott

Half-Life is a popular video game series from Valve. A science fiction first-person shooter, it consists of two full games, two episodic games, and three third-party made expansions, as well as a number of demos featuring exclusive content. Dr. Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist and employee of the Black Mesa Research Facility, is the main protagonist.

According to Wikipedia:

The series has been ongoing since 1998. Most games and expansions in the series were developed by Valve Corporation and published by Sierra Studios, although some expansions were produced by Gearbox Software. Electronic Arts also took over distribution of the games in the series from Sierra from 2005 onwards. The series was initially released for the PC, but console ports of most installments have also been released. All expansion packs for the original game feature playable characters other than Freeman.

Ross Scott of Accused Films has created an on-going machinima series in Half-Life called Freeman’s Mind:

Freeman’s Mind is a science-fiction comedy series that follows the thoughts of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a 27 year old physicist and protagonist of the game Half-Life. The setting starts off in Black Mesa, a government research facility in New Mexico. In the game Half-Life, Freeman is entirely silent and has no actual personality. In Freeman’s Mind, he is a highly vocal and neurotic individual with paranoid and delusional tendencies. All episodes are filmed in a first-person perspective as he gives a monologue of his thoughts. Episodes are sequential and should be watched in order to make the most sense of the series.

Episode 6: Freeman looks for an alternate exit and descends further into Black mesa.
