Even More Machinimation

over the past couple of days i squeaked out some music for Silhoutte-Robin's On3 Roof web series shot in The Sims 2. headed up by Elikhi - these are cool folks from RedvsBlue so head over and show your support! episode 6 should be out very shortly.

i like this footage alot. not only the concept of a simulated person painting art but also in the way the scene plays itself out: the sim has a whole palette of color to choose from but only uses black and then only to paint around the void of a person; never the details of the actual person. it is as if the sim cannot break through its boundaries to understand humanity. while the sims probably only paint pre-programmed images, there is some cool work going on in the area of virtual painting/painters.

my first attempt for this was classical, inspired by the painting/fine art imagery and the way the first few brush strokes reminded me of a conductor's baton but it didn't have enough energy to kick off a show. i used whistling instead to reflect the painter working away on his painting and added some driving drums plus a couple of crunchy guitars!
