Code monkey not stupid, just proud

I haven’t blogged about machinima for a while. Sorry about that. It’s because I’m mainly blogging my machinima stuff over at www.bloodspell.com, or www.machinimafordummies.com. It’s also because I’m crazy busy at the moment, so I haven’t had the time to watch much machinima recently.
Anyway, I’ve just seen a superb machinima music video. Now, you know how I feel about machinima music videos in general. I think they’re a curse on humankind which should be stopped at all costs. Every so often, though, I come across a music video that’s actually good. This is one. Great geek song, very funny video. Frank Delario and the rest of the ILL Clan team have achieved a minor miracle here – they’ve made The Movies look good. There’s some pretty clever stuff going on here – much of the video uses the dull and derivative Movies default scenes, but the addition of a bipedal chimp (just watch the damn movie) changes it all around.
I love this movie. It’s made it onto my list of “Machinima Movies that I show anybody who asks me what machinima is”. It’s also on my list of “things to email to all my geeky friends”.
