Cinemassively: Slim Jim

For some videographers, machinima can be a lucrative business. Myndflame, the creators of the Illegal Danish series, have made a full time living for over a year now producing machinima for clients. Using World of Warcraft, they've recently released a commercial for Slim Jim, the beef jerky stick. In the ad, they focus on a knight that has problems rescuing a fair maiden until the product is introduced.

While WoW is a popular machinima platform, Blizzard has imposed a Fair Use Guide that restricts how machinimators can profit from their work. In the case of this specific video, Slim Jim most likely received a content use license from Blizzard.

Cinemassively: Illegal Danish - Escape from Orgrimmar

Illegal Danish: Escape from Orgrimmar is finally out. I've read the comments and I felt like I was in the middle of a war zone. You're either going to love this film, or hate it with a passion, depending on how long you've been waiting for the release and whether you play World of Warcraft or not. All I ask is that you keep an open mind. For further thoughts on the release, I've written a full review on our sister site, WoW Insider.

Illegal Danish 2 picks up where the first, Illegal Danish: Super Snacks, left off. The "Illegal Danish" guild is under attack by Van Kraken, Basutei discovers his feminine side, and Dirti realizes that he's not cut out to be a hero. Along the way, there's a pirate adventure, a video game duel, and several epic battles.

Myndflame may have missed their tentative release date by a year, but I believe it was worth it in the end. The soundtrack fits, the post-production work is amazing, and the voice actors are right on the money. Just about the only thing I didn't like was the credits. Either way, IDEFO is one of the best Machinimas I've seen come out of WoW.

If you thought that Armageddon would come before IDEFO, then fear not. There are just 5 1/2 short hours until the premiere of Illegal Danish: Escape from Orgrimmar. Yesterday, we showed you the first trailer, released in July 2006. We previously showed you the latest trailer, HMS Theramore, in early December. As you can see, this trailer was released a full year after the first one. The intended debut was for Blizzcon 2007.

Myndflame is inviting their fans to ring in the New Year Machinima-style. They'll be having a cast party in real life, but they're opening up live chat so that you can celebrate with them, starting tonight at 6pm EST. If you are unable to attend the event, don't worry! I'll be featuring it here tomorrow for your viewing pleasure.

Happy New Years, my fellow Machinima lovers! Here's to many more exciting videos in 2008!

Cinemassively: HMS Theramore

Myndflame is committed to releasing the sequel to their smash hit Machinima, Illegal Danish: Super Snacks. Illegal Danish: Escape from Orgrimmar has been a year in the making and they're still working on it. I hear that the full movie will be "coming before Armageddon," but you don't have to wait to get your IDEFO fix!

To tide us over, they've released another scene from their film. This short clip is a musical adventure filled with wonder and excitement. HMS Theramore is a parody of the broadway musical, HMS Pinafore. Created in World of Warcraft, it's about a ship captain, Puff, that sets sail with his guild. Are you looking forward to the full release?
