Hello, my name is Bob Block, and today I want to talk to you about something that is very dear to my heart—Machinima!

To be specific, a Machinima Movie called The 1k Project II by a mysterious entity called “BlackShark.” No one knows who this person is, and there’s a rumor this video was produced by the INTERNET itself!

All sorts of crazy things happen! Like, cars flying off ramps, cars speeding through tunnels, cars intersecting with each other, everything that cars could possibly do, is captured in this video.

Like every good movie, this one features one thousand cars, and is edited to the song “Flower” by Moby. The cars are all filmed within a game called “Trackmania Sunrise.” And it starts like this...

...to the point where it is literally raining cars! Ah, the beauty of a car shower! Amazing, everytime I watch it.

But there is more! In what can only be described as the biggest car collision since the movie “Blues Brothers,” things go completely bonkers!

The way this was achieved was by actually playing this level of the game one thousand times, and overlaying each playthrough with so called “ghost cars” from the previous ones. A lot of work! You can watch this video on the internet on vimeo if you like. It can be found here: http://vimeo.com/775098

I have watched it about one thousand times and it’s still totally mind-blowing. That’s it from me for now. I hope you enjoyed this quick tour of one of my favorite Machinima movies. See you next time!
