The Machinima Issue of the Journal of Visual Culture is out and I’m excited to say that my article on the future of machinima as a professional animation medium was accepted.
It’s one article among many from innovators and thought leaders in the machinima and visual media academic world. I’m honored to be associated with them, and hats off to Susan Rojo & Henry Lowood (Stanford University) and Matteo Bittanti (California Collage of Arts) for putting this issue together.
