EIEF06 welcomes movie makers with WORLD eXCLUSIVE of red vs blue!

In less than four weeks the only truly cultural event for our industry will bring an amateur art form that is taking the media world by storm into the spotlight, with an enthralling session entitled ‘Machinima – the triumph of hybrid authorship’.

Embraced by companies such as MTV and Lionhead, Machinima, the making of short movies using video games, will be taking centre stage at the fourth Edinburgh Interactive Entertainment Festival.

Pioneers in the field Rooster Teeth Productions will be unveiling a Scottish themed episode of their long-running series Red vs Blue.  Written exclusively for the festival, the episode will be performed live on 22nd August during the industry conference.

Based in the world of Halo, Red vs Blue is downloaded by over half a million people each week and the conference organisers are giving a local Edinburgh resident the exclusive chance to star in this hugely successful series. 

Also participating in the session is industry luminary Ken Perlin who, for the first time outside the US, will be showcasing his unique exploration of the inextricable relationship between music and movement.

With the list of inspiring conference sessions growing by the day, now is the time to book your delegate pass for EIEF06. For just £195 + VAT per delegate, you can spend two days with some of the world’s leading developers, company and brand leaders, sharing their ideas and vision.

EIEF is designed with simple core objectives: to help you know more, to help you ask the right questions and to challenge the way you think about the future of games. From groundbreaking sessions to a wide ranging screenings event covering four major cinema screens, it is unrivalled in terms of value and benefit.
