Bionicle: Next Generation - The Empire

I cannot take credit for anything on this one except all the 3D animation. But the music, the editing, the modeling and some compositing were all done by the great team at BNG (which I'm apart of). I look forward to showing everyone more that I and others will be doing for this ambitious project.

Surprise!

What could this be? Hmm...

Check back December 1, 2011 to find out.

Sintel

This was made by the Blender Foundation and was released online by them not that long ago. It is truly amazing!

Thomas Doubt

This is one of our first Macnstrobe Movies in a long time. Enjoy!

(Note, this is the unfinished version, there is at least one scene that needs pickup shooting done, and obviously audio and visual effects)

Maybe.. Hopefully..

Well.. it's summer again.. and Macnstrobe Films has been practically been non existent for the last 6-8 months and in all truthfulness it's demoralizing, discouraging, disheartening, saddening, etc... Hopefully with the start of summer some progress will be made. But the question is.. progress on what? As a member of Macnstrobe I am most definitely NOT proud to admit that I have no idea whatsoever about works in progress, ideas, or anything at all about what Macnstrobe has in store right now. I'm trying not to worry but something must change. We must get back on track. Or at least start, or start over. Soon.

What's Happened?

Has there been a writer's block? Has Macnstrobe been too busy lately? Have we quit on Macnstrobe? Where are all the ideas? The posts? The updates? Does anybody know? You don't? Well me niether... and I probably should... so would somebody from Macnstrobe PLEASE fill me in?!? ASAP

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

I saw this movie a few weeks ago and within the first ten minutes, I was laughing my head off. And what was so neat about it, was that it was all good clean humor.
The story, for those who don't know, is about a small town that used to be famous for it anchovies. That is until the world realized that anchovies were disgusting. So the economy of the town plummeted, and all they had to eat was anchovies.
Then young inventor Flint Lockwood (his inventions inspired, but usually dangerous) decides to change all that by building a machine that will change water to food. That way, no one has to eat anchovies anymore. Unfortunately, when he tries to reveal it, he fires it into the clouds. Soon, hamburgers begin to rain from the clouds.
Because of the way Flint set up the system, he is able to control what food come out. Unfortunately, there is an overload, and the portions get larger. And he realizes that everyone needs to escape, and he must shut down the machine.

The last parts of the movie are so hilarious, because they parody scenes (sometimes to exact shots) of other movies. Such as Tron, Independence Day, Day After Tomorrow. And, one of the best parts, when Mr. T's character jumps through a flying nacho, and the hole that he made is the shape of a T.
This definitely was the best animated movie I've seen all year.

Movie Reviews

Hey everyone, Max here. I know its been like forever since we've posted, the number one reason being is that all of our current projects are still very much on the drawing board, so its very hush hush.
But I thought, to pass time, we could review some movies we've seen recently, be it old or new (preferably new). So I will be posting, later this evening, with a review of the awesome movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
And I hope that some other Macnstrobe members will post some too.
