Event | European Machinima Festival

I went to the European Machinima Festival at DeMontfort University in Leicester. For those who don't know, machinima is a form of filmaking that uses video game footage instead of shooting video. My eldest son Nathan has been doing this sort of thing with his computer for a number of years and was up for an award in the "Best Student" category.

We attended some interesting discussions during the festival and went to the awards ceremony on Saturday evening. Nathan didn't win his category in the end, but got loads of useful and positive feedback about his file and had a great day. To have a look at his "Waterlogged 3" film that was shortlisted go to his YouTube page.
