BF117HALO here to let you know about my new group, New Machinimators Union. We are a group dedicated to helping new machinima directors such as myself exchange ideas and get their projects off the ground.
The rules and forum stuff are still a work in progress but I am hoping that if you are looking for people to criticise and assist you in your machinima career then you will join this group. I aim for this community to be an overall friendly one that is open to as many people as possible, whether you're new to machinima or a long-term veteran.
Alternatively, if you don't want to discuss machinima you can discuss gaming in general, we don't want to limit your discussions!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
