Hugh HancockBloodSpell: Preproduction - Documentary (2008)
This is the first of a series of documentaries about the making of BloodSpell, the hit Machinima series of 2006, now also available as a feature film
This documentary follows the preproduction process of BloodSpell - making sets, characters and everything else needed for this massive film.
BloodSpell is the unique animated "punk fantasy" feature film by Machinima pioneers Strange Company, made available in its entirety for viewing online under Creative Commons.
In the world of BloodSpell, some people are infected with magic in their blood. When that blood is spilled, the magic is released, to harm or heal. When Jered, a young monk trained to hunt the Blooded, realises he has magic in his own blood, he must flee into the slums and magical hideouts of the Blooded, pursued by the Church of the Angels who trained him.

"Blood, Angels and loads of vicious smiting: what more could you ask for?" - Alan Campbell, author of Scar Night.
""A movie that defies most of the rules of traditional film-making." - The Guardian
