To the commenters above:

I am sorry if you feel that someone else creating a machinma video that happens to be a similar idea to your piece is unacceptable to you. As the axiom goes, "there is nothing new under the sun." Indeed, I have seen face-melding portraiture videos for many years, and were I to research back further, I'm certain I could find even more in mediums that I don't currently know of.

That said, one of the things that the Machinima artists I've been lucky enough to converse with generally do is compare notes and offer assistance and ideas to one another. Indeed, people like Hugh Hancock (Machinima for Dummies), Matt Kelland from Short Fuze, Baron Soosdon, and many more have made it a point of working cooperatively within the machinima community to further the cause of machinima for all. We at Massively would like to help machinimators, no matter the game format. This involves sharing videos we find from here, there, and everywhere. Inevitably, some will be based on similar ideas. (How many different music videos are out there now? :D)

Finally, I would point out that at no point does Moo state this is a completely new idea; she simply says that she enjoyed it and by posting it, she obviously felt that it was worth watching. I have no doubt we would feel the same about your machinima entry when it is completed, should you choose to have us showcase it.

If you have further problems or questions, feel free to direct them to me personally via our "contact us" form. I'll be more than happy to work with you. As I said, our intent is to reach out to the machinima community and offer them a place to showcase their virtual-worlds created works. There is more than enough room for all of them. ;)
