When Machinima rebooted its Machinima Prime channel back in September, the multi-channel network emphasized a much larger focus on its own creative partners. With that focus in mind, Machinima Prime has released Loadout: Going In Hot, a short film created by partner channel Wayside Creations. Wayside is best known for creating Fallout: Nuka Break, a fan film based in the Fallout universe that ultimately spawned a web series, a second season of that web series, and a successful Kickstarter campaign. For its latest project, the Wayside team, led by director Vincent Talenti, writer Matt Munson, and producer Lynn Moon, has traveled to the world of Loadout, a free-to-play third-person shooter developed by Austin-based studio Edge of Reality. The Wayside version of the Loadout universe stars Richard Hatch (best known for his roles on both the original and rebooted versions of Battlestar Galactica) as a ship captain who is racing against...

Machinima Prime has released a very fun sci-fi short film called Loadout: Going in Hot, which is a live action adaption of the third-person shooter video game of the same name. The short stars Battlestar Galactica's Richard Hatch as Captain Gaz. The story follows the Captain and his loyal crew on an adventure that brings excitement and absurdity. If you've played the game, then you'll notice some of the key elements from it in the short. If you haven't played the game, it's still an entertaining watch.
The short was directed by Vincent Talenti (Red Star, Fallout: Nuka Break) and this is the synopsis:
Battlestar Galatica's Richard Hatch captains a crew of merchant marines in space who compete with other local haulers in the highly profitable (and extremely dangerous) antiquities and curios shipping business. Gaz and his crew scramble to avert a ship-wide disaster; while racing against the clock and Gaz’s arch nemesis,...

Series Name: Legend of Grimrock Asking For: $100,000 on Kickstarter Amount Raised Thus Far (At Time Of Post): $23,773 Days Remaining In Campaign (At Time Of Post): 38 Description: Legend of Grimrock is a fan film based on a video game of the same name by Finnish developer Almost Human. The game is a dungeon crawler inspired by 80s and 90s classics but released last year to little fanfare. In order to garner some pub, Almost Human has enlisted the help of Wayside Creations, the talented studio that excels at creating fan films. This time, expect lots of swords-and-sorcery goodness. Creator Bio: Wayside Creations has created a couple of fan series that piqued our interest. Fallout: Nuka Break is a well-shot post-apocalyptic thriller set in Fallout 3's wasteland, while Aperture R&D is a fittingly whimsy take on Portal. This time, the production team is a hodgepodge of fans and gaming industry talent.
