Rufus Cubed's Bag of WhammiesBy Terran

Fans, Comrades, and Paparazzi,

For a few weeks, rumors have been circulating on the World of Warcraft forums and WarcraftMovies.com that Tristan of CraftingWorlds.com and Terran of RufusCubed.com have been hired to create game play videos for the big blue B.

The speculation was correct, and both individuals have been hired as Associate Video Editors.

The Eastern Plaguelands PvP trailer released Wednesday is the first product of the department we are now working in. It was our shared goal when first participating in this new art form to create great fan films and push Machinima to new heights. We hope to stay true to these “grass roots” moving forward.

Terran and Tristan have assumed a tremendous amount of responsibility with these new positions, and even more so by letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak. We hope this information only serves to promote and inspire Machinima in the community, and not to create contention.

Both Rufus Cubed and Crafting Worlds plan to continue projects as time permits (which may be limited), and contribute to the community within the parameters we are allowed. Projects released by these two groups are just as they always were: unofficial, fan-based creations, and should hold no more intrinsic weight than any other Machinima artist’s work.

Feel free to continue e-mailing us with questions regarding our unofficial fan projects, or for advice on your own pieces, but unfortunately we will be unable to respond to any questions regarding our employment or the game <3.

Finally we’d like to offer our undying gratitude to the fans who have supported our films since the release of the game that started this escapade, your role in this journey has been 40-man epic.

Sincerely,

Terran and Ezra of Rufus Cubed
Tristan of Crafting Worlds

Of Late...By Ezra

Greetings Cubites, fans, angry hordes, and the otherwise curious. Firstly Rufus Cubed would like to offer a hearty congratulations to Johnny Voruz (the newest Cubite) on his engagement to be married. May all the best come to you and the lady.

Secondly and also of high magnitude, Terran, our intrepid adventurer and co-creator of Return has finally settled down in Southern California and is ready to engage the march towards the completion of Return 2 as time allows. Finishing Return 2 is the highest priority of Rufus Cubed. It is unfortunate (though worth it) that career priorities have delayed the release this long, but it remains our highest aspiration to bring Episode 2 and beyond to realization.

Be it known that the deadline for the 2006 Machinima Film Festival is September 22nd, corresponding quite nicely with the September 23rd 2005 release of the original Return Episode 1. If it can happen, an anniversary release would be both outstanding and righteous.

While we can make no promises at this time, and a late September release is extremely aggressive, we've set our will towards this end.

After a long and arduous hiatus, the Return machine is being brought up to full capacity.

In the mean time, hold yourselves over with some other excellent Warcraft Movies. These top notch productions are certainly encouraging us to get our next installment out in the world. Take a look:

Illegal Danish 2: Escape from Orgrimmar Trailer
Tales of the Past 2
Rise of the Living Dead 3: The Turning

Enjoy, and please check back here on September 1st for an update on our progress.
