A Short Clan HistoryFormerly, I was put in charge of
Darkstar's now defunct but highly popular film making clan,
BEE (Block Eye Entertainment). Myself and others were having talks about the idea of rebooting the clan to its former glory, even so far as to ask Dark himself about the idea (though he did give me to go ahead). However, we realized we needed something different than just bringing BEE back from the dead. We needed a handle for this new generation of videos being produced by the old generation of videomakers.
Blockland Classics was born during a conversation we were having on the set of Block Wars. While talking about how many of the old Blockland machinimas (including the original Block Wars) were an influence to many new players having actually bought the game in the first place, we realized that the art of video making in Blockland was now sorely lacking. Blockland is one of our favorite sandbox games and it can allow for some serious creativity, as such we agreed someone should bring about a renaissance of the craft to inspire those like we were then to create. We decided we needed to return to the "classics."
Who are we?We are filmmakers and artists, builders and designers, eventers and modders. We acknowledge Blockland's limitations and we view them as a challenge to still make something great despite its age. Blockland has soul and edge and is retro in its own right. We realize that there are kids just as young as we once were now embarking to be the next genration of players of this game, and we want to encourage them to produce quality art if they want to, and we're going to show them that it's possible, even in a game that's 10 years old.
