WoW Moviewatch: Octopus by Jonathan Coulton

Sabaska created his first machinima video using the song Octopus by Jonathan Coulton. JoCo’s music has been a fairly consistent presence for machinima, so Sabaska made a wise choice in accessing this song for his first WoW video. The video works fairly well for the song, so I think overall, it’s a good job.

What’s really interesting about this video, however, is the annotations. The video’s good, but Sabaska went above-and-beyond with his YouTube annotations. Using this feature, Sabaska outlined many notes, topics, and techniques he used in creating Octopus. This is especially helpful because it gives the audience a better look at the effort and work performed by machinima makers, and gives us a look behind the curtain. For many people just getting started with machinima, I’d wager it also gives them a little inspiration and useful tips. Octopus wasn’t meant to be a tutorial, of course, but it’s still awesome that Sabaska shared this level of information with us.

Octopus is a fun video, and it’s one for which Sabaska should be proud. I’m eager to see what he does next.
