Interview with Tritin Films
October 21st, 2009 | 
Author: As a brief overview Tritin Films has been making machinima style movies for the past decade and has recently present us with their newest release, “Arenas”. The basic story starts with the Doom saga as doom is sucked into the hands of the Vadrigar.

The “Arenas” whose trailer is seen left has been an on going project of Tritin films for the past 3 years according to the films writer/director Joe Goss. So what exactly is the Arenas Series? Put simply its the Quake 1, 2, 3, and the Doom 1 story lines all mixed together into one storyline with the Doom being the main character in the film as he fights his way up through the tiers to find out if he can escape from his captor or end up being the top dog. What is “machinima”? It’s the art of making movies using the game engine. Check out www.Machinima.com, there is an entire community devoted to making game based movies using the actual game engine. |
How many films do you plan on making? This is just the first season, 11 episodes in all for it. The plan is for next season is to get our site rebuilt and include user feedback into the episodes in season#2. The next season we hope to be even better and more action packed. We have been working tirelessly on redoing alot of the models for the series, and we will be introducing them very soon.
|
Ok, Sarge looks bad ass, what did you do to him? Both sarge and Visor are examples of what we are doing to all of the models used in “Arenas”. We are sparing nothing with the detail that goes into these guys. We hope to be releasing some other new and improved models into the series very soon. Have you had any gripes from the community about any details from the films? Yes, the community griped about our useage of slow motion camera angles in some of the first episodes. They were like, “this is quake, keep up the pace, no slow motion”. I reworked some of the earlier films and got better responses so I think I’ve got a handle on what not to do in the future. Right now our main focus is to just complete the first season so we can start working on the next. |
I guess now the ultimate question is, what can we expect as a season finale? Episode 10 will be on one of the most popular maps ever released in the quake game series, take a wild guess. Currently its under production but we are really working hard to make sure the season ends in a “bang”. As you may have guessed, Doom will get his chance at a piece of Xaero, the rest well, you’ll have to wait an see.
Whats the web address for the arenas? Our production website atm is www.QuakeRebellion.com and of course we need not forget our sound department Mystic Realmz Productions www.MysticRealmz.com

qzteam7 Alternate mega
a catapult shot with a 2x combo in the middle area with a ricochet rocket off the back wall and land on the mega. I tried to predict the ricochet rocket but at that speed plus the reload time its nearly impossible to correct and get the 2x combo off. This is a trick i landed while playing around and trying to land a different trick for TQL2. Enjoy.

q3schools now on IRC!
Im pleased to announce that q3schools now has its own official IRC channel on quakenet. You can find it via irc.quakenet.org/#q3schools. Also I have started working on a channel droid to handle all of your questions and needs should I be absent for a while. The bot is under construction so if there is a feature you would like added please post a comment about it and I’ll see about getting the feature put in. Currently the bot seamlessly communicated with the q3schools website and will eventually be able to tell you about tricks, tutorials, news and more. To find a list of the commands that the droid will respond to just pass it the command !listcmds. After that any command you wish to pass to the droid, just use the “!” before the command.
