Machinima Great Passes
Jump to Comments
Sad news this week for all those who knew him and his work, well known Australian writer/director Peter Rasmussen has passed away. He was a friend of many on the LAMP team who knew him as a pioneer in the field of machinima. Peter wrote the Australian feature films “In the Winter Dark” and “Mad Bomber in Love” & wrote and directed “The Picture Woman”. In recent years he gained an international reputation as a leading machinima film maker and his films “Killer Robot” and “Stolen Life” (co produced with Jackie Turnure) won multiple awards. Peter will be remembered as a fearless pioneer of new forms and will be sadly missed. Tributes to Peter can be found at Machinimafordummies, ihatesheep, eyeswiredopen and Sydney SIGGRAPH.
