Hi, I'm hugh. Hancock. I'm the guy was possible for this ling-ling called, Michigan Roman first place among other things
Machinima Inc was founded by hugh hancock on January 2000, but it all began in
1996 when a game called quake allow players to film events in-game and share them
Well some use this feature to record impressive kills there were others who started using them to tell a story instead
The term of Shittim ax is a combination awards machine and cinema which was used to describe the new art form
I'm not the only one who's late
Hugh hancock was studying at Edinburgh University at the time
It was a big fan of quake together with his friend Gordon
Macdonald who was also a filmmaker was interested in the merging art form they decided to group together with other creators around the city
They created a strange company in
1997 and in a Few years were getting hired to make commercial animations by the time quake 3 was released in 1999
Users were tired in the platform and started looking for new resources
Sensing this shift in the community
Hancock wanted to start a website that could act as a place for creators to discuss and share their work in
2000 he founded the website Machinima calm take the Viewpoint from one of the game
Clip players playing the game you can record that and you can use that to make a film and that is the essence of machinima?
He had accidentally misspelled the term in an email using an eye instead of an e
But it's stuck on the site for interviews and tutorials and exclusive access to new releases in the video Game film world
The first wide release film was called quad
God and hardcore fans weren't happy that they were making films available to the mainstream, but hey
It's a business at the end of the day the reliefs help brings a website to a wider audience
And as the millennium went on they were able to get new software tools and game engines robust
pneumatics
They opened up their Youtube account in January
2006 and shortly after Hancock resigned to devote more time to strange company and the productions going on there
He left control to the staff their first video wasn't uploaded until more than a year later and was called Mmo V trailer
See the world's favorite movies
and the world's most popular video game
They follow that with series like medal of Honor Pathfinder's and several more trailers for GTa 4 avatar Halo
And I went on to get millions of views then in
2007 they made some big ways in the original content field by working on the Emmy Award-winning, South park episode make love not war craft
this was the same year youTube became monetized and machinima started to focus on its ability to bring more gaming content and
Talent under its name they branched out into a multi-channel network and also had gameplay videos gamer
Personalities and even live-action contents have reviewed video game call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
very impossible story with stolen Russian nukes
But I find disgusting like polish bamaca they offer partners higher ad revenue and return took a percentage of their profits
Many Young YouTubers were eager to signs of the large Network, but failed to realize exactly what their contract met
Well, I'm not saying anything
I don't want to get called into court as a witness on this once the cat gets out of the bag later
They were shocked to discover that by signing they were tied in the network for life
Somebody think it's manipulative, but hey when it comes to a contract you really got to read those things carefully
Regardless of your age they obviously didn't learn their disney lessons. You always need to ask for a lawyer guys
Not only were their partners accusing them of tricking them in those
Situations the Company was in change your conditions an ass people that had joined to sign multiple contracts over the time of the network in
2012 they partnered with google and got a 30 million pound investment which coincidentally made them the most famous
Non-Musical channel on the platform they became the first M2M service which means many too many
Focusing a pop culture fandom and gaming content today. They have over 30,000 people in their network and get
151 Million views a month and the rest is story
