Experiment 1 -Introduction-

So a quick introduction to my intentions before we go any farther. In simplest terms, i have set out to demonstrate the influence of explosions on their immediate 3D environment, both living and non living(namely people and physical surroundings). In order to do this i have created environments in which objects of various mass and structure are acted upon by an explosive force (predominantly dynamite and petrol barrels). The result of the explosions are documented and found below in 30 second clips with accompanying tracks. I hope you enjoy.

Custom machinima 2 - Drowning in my sleep

This video is founded on ideas based in the juxtoposition of concepts seen in my "found machinima". Basically the video is a metphor of life from an existentialist perspective, portraying how we (the scientists)seek answers through investgation but are constantly overcome and defeated in the fall from cradle to the crave. the clip concludes with a reflection on the abruptness of death and its inevitable resolution in failure to understand. The song is "Its a dangerous business walking out your front door" by "Underoath" from "They're only chasing safetly" released 2005 The Program used is "Garry's mod" made by "team Garry" The footage was captured with the assistance of fraps downloaded legally from www.fraps.com and modified with Vegas free 30 day trial from www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download

Custom machinima 1 - I think that we might have been friends



haha, well, this peice was one made with limited resources and skills. but i still think it turns out relitivly sort of ok. but not really. basically the intent behind this machinima was to show the resistance to the assualt. similar to that in the found machinima. unfortunatly you dont really get to see the explosion as i am hiding behind a wall (so i dont die). i learnt a lot making this and hopefully that is reflected in "custom machinima 2"

The song is "might have been friends" by "Relient K" from "The birds and the Bee sides album" released 2008
