EPIC WIN! XD

This isn't particularly related to the show but don't fucking shoot me for it. Rooster Teeth Productions, creator of the online cultural phenomenon, Red vs Blue and a big inspiration for me as an aspiring filmmaker, has just released the trailer to their follow-up series to Red vs Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles entitled Red vs Blue: Reconstruction. The trailer itself is amazing and seems to be taking the series in a more serious direction for this next iteration of the RvB saga.

For those of you who have never heard of Red vs Blue, for shame! The series is riotously funny and well written and is something I recommend to most people, Halo fan or not. You don't have to play Halo to understand it, you don't have to play Halo to like it. It's a great show and you should definitely give it a shot.

The show itself is made using a cinematography technique called "Machinima" which involves the use of an in-game video game engine to animate the scenes, in this case using your character to act out the scenes. More info about machinima can be found here if your interested. The trailer for the series can be found here, along with the rest of their work, which I personally feel is worth checking out.
