BloodSpell

Bloodspell is a feature length Machinima movie, has been under production by Strange Company for over two years, and is currently being released in an episodic form.

Setting
Bloodspell is the fictional story of Jered, a young Monk of the Church of the Angels, an organisation that exists to purify the Blooded, those who, when their blood is spilt, release magical power.

Developement
Bloodspell is being made using the Neverwinter Nights engine, which provides a DM client allowing actor models to be created or removed at will; multiple DM's joining one local Neverwinter Nights server allow any character to be controled by any of the DM's, for whatever actions are needed for the scene being filmed.

Additionally, a number of modifications to Neverwinter Nights are used, from additional animations, to a custom set of camera tools, allowing scripted camera movements, to a texture switching Open GL tool that allows something resembling lip syncing.
