| The Rumpus Machine |
 |
An easily frightened dwarf stumbles upon a
strange machine in the middle of the road.
Little does he know that this "metal pig" is
about to take him and his friends on quite an
adventure. From sexy dancing girls to deep
dark dungeons (where a familiar man lurks),
this Rumpus Machine has a mind of its own!
Created for and entered in the 2008 Blizzcon
machinima contest. Special thanks to the one
and only Deckard Cain for making an
appearance!
For those asking, yes, that is the real voice
of Deckard Cain, Michael Gough, who was kind
enough to appear in our movie as his well
known Diablo character. We were greatly
humbled to have him as part of our
production.

This is my best AMV from now on and I wanted
you to watch it and to tell me how it was. My
friends told me that it was very good, but I
want your advise. It's on Shadow the hedgehog
with the song "this machine". Please watch
and enjoy.

Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes.
This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing
one more final draft. Please leave comments
on what could be changed or improved, or what
needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe
if you want to be notified when the revision
is released.
UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti
where you can actually write your comments
into the video itself. It is an exciting
experiment in "Video 2.0". Go check it out
at http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 and add
your voice!
Transcripts are now available as well:

A couple of people have noted that the
statement, "XML was created to do just that"
(separate form from content) is misleading
because CSS enables the same effect with
HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the
video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in
the next draft.
My statement on XML is based on the following
from xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it
is important to understand why it was
created. XML was created so that richly
structured documents could be used over the
web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and
SGML, are not practical for this purpose.
HTML, as we've already discussed, comes bound
with a set of semantics and does not provide
arbitrary structure."
Thank you all for the comments. With your
help the next draft will be cleaned up and
hopefully free of factual errors.
A higher quality version is available for
download here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6duzg3zioyd Please
note that this is the second draft and the
final version will not be available until
late February after I review all comments and
revise the video. Please return for a new
download link at that time.
The song is "There's Nothing Impossible" by
Deus, available for free at

Deus offers music under a Creative Commons

license, yet one more example of the
interlinking of people sharing and
collaborating this video is attempting to
illustrate.

"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes.
http://mediatedcultures.net
This is a slightly revised and cleaned up
version of the video that was featured on
YouTube in February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an "eternal
beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to
let it stand as is and start working on
future projects. Many of my future videos
will address the last 30 seconds of this
video (the "rethink ..." part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the
earlier draft. It has been a great
experience to connect with so many people
interested in
similar issues.
Once again, there are higher quality versions
available for download:
Windows Media File (55 MB):

License. So you are welcome to download it,
share it, even change it, just as long as you
give me some credit and you don't sell it or
use it to sell anything. I received many more
positive comments than negative about the
song choice (great work Deus!), but if you
are one of those who does not like the song
just download the video and change the audio
track to your liking.
The video was created by me (Michael Wesch),
working alone from my house in St. George,
Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen
captures and Sony Vegas for the
panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday
I might make a video tutorial for those who
are interested.
