Re-post of Found Machinima



Due to an apparent cut in the previous post, this is a re-post of the Found Machinima clip I cut together.

Experiment 1



The above machinima is an edited clip of my previously posted "found machinima". The way in which it has been cut reflects a concept of explosion based on the definition being "A sudden, great increase". It outlines that an explosion need not be destructive, it can be an explosion of inner strength, size, power or even gas.



Such versatility of "explosion" is orchestrated in this clip I created that explores explosions in space, speed and quantity. Porosity can be defined as "Allowing passage in and out", which implies change within the dimension of time. Explosions imply the same time factor, and this relationship is shown in the above machinima clip.

Machinima Progress

There are various ways of exploring "sudden increases" in GMod, and the following clips are just an indication of how these can be shown.











A Brief Hypothesis

An explosion is not just a destructive event. It shows a sudden increase in something, whether that be tangible or intangible. An explosion within the constraints of my GMod experiment will try to encapsulate an idea of explosion, not necessarily an explosion itself.

Explosions

One of the many definitions of explosion is "A sudden, great increase" and in this context I find the explosions interesting, as they show increase of strength, of inner power. Link and his bomb-arrows, Samus and her charge shot and Wario and his... Wario waft. Explosions of all kinds.


The machinima of explosions I find interesting.
