MachinimUWA VI: 'Cloud' by Hypatia Pickens

 

In 'Cloud' by Hypatia Pickens we see more of her wondrously haunting imagery. In describing the machinima she says:

 "Cloud," a well-known demon, has stolen a woman's reflection. My third film for the sixth UWA theme-based machinima challenge: "Reflections." In all three I've attempted to play on this word "reflect," and in so doing expose different and intensely personal trials in human relationships and ways to surmount them. 

This machinima is now part of the L$1.1 Million, MachinimUWA VI: REFLECTIONS, the 6th UWA Short Animated Film Challenge. The theme for MachinimUWA VI is a tribute to the Centenary of the University of Western Australia. Entries for MachinimUWA VI: REFLECTIONS may consist of any storyline that fits the theme of 'REFLECTIONS.' At least ONE of the 3 'Spaces of Reflection' on UWA's SL SIMS (the Sunken Gardens, the Somerville Auditorium or the Reflection Pond) must be clearly shown in the story.

Special prizes are also offered for machinima that best portray one or a few of the artworks entered in UWA Centenary 3D Art Challenge: REFLECTIONS
