Cinemassively: How not to make a machinima
Filed under: World of Warcraft, Video, Cinemassively, Machinima, Humor
Before there was the award-winning The Grind series, there was Oblivious Hardcore. When Macheath wanted to learn how to use Adobe Premiere Pro, he packed every possible transition and effect in, resulting in a cluttered, but funny video. If you check out Oblivious Films, you'll see that this exercise definitely pointed them in the right direction, but this video lives on as a testimony for overindulgence.
[Thanks, Drewbie, for letting me use this as an example!]

This idea is actually a great way to learn. I remember an English teacher of mine requiring us to write a paper with run-on sentences, fragments and as many mixed metaphors as we could pack into it. The writing was hilarious and dreadful. But it got it out of our systems and all of us were better writers after doing that project.

that... was AWESOME! HOLY CRAP.
Even though it had the cardinal sin of using every single transform you could possibly imagine it was comically done instead of done for effect. Plus everything was timed to the music and the subtitling even made fun of the screaming music genre!
A++++ christmas story style!
