[About]

FreePixel looks at video games as part of the moving image culture. Games are not movies. But games use moving image tradition in their presentation. That is why FreePixel offers a critical look at games and their expressive qualities that grow from the use of the moving image.

Machinima Academia Aug 26th

Posted by Michael

It seem the top-notch Dartmouth College is warming up to machinima:

I do not yet know what to think of it. In my humble opinion, some names and films should be added to their first outline. But what I found really funny is that is seems they use Italo Calvino’s ‘Invisible Cities‘ as a reference for their machinima production (e.g. Argia here). It is an amazing book and very inspirational.
