Produced in the summer of 2003 for the NY Film/Video Festival's Game Engine segment. Its been described a bit as "Fantasia meets game-based Machinima..." but here's official descript by asst. director Dan Torop... "Exploration of two female identities (Bulleta/Hellchick). Men are amorphous bulbous creatures (Nella) only capable of experiencing joy through their female counterparts. A tentative resolution is suggested by distant gaze of an older, wiser, sadder figure (Rabbit) who perceives self doubt of the Bulletas destined through experience to become Hellchicks." Using Quake III Arena, Machinimation and FE/community-made assets (FE maps and community characters & maps), the film was created over 5 days time (1 day of pre-production, 3 days of principal photography and 1 day to edit), using 2 PCs and a Macintosh. David Kaplan was the director & editor, and Dan Torop and Paul Marino acted as asst. directors, cinematographers and actors.
