UPDATE: The liveblog is over, but you can still read along what was discussed.
UPDATE #2: New photos have been added, spotlighting the rest of the team.
From robots to motion capture to fan remakes, this ALBOTAS Weekend Film Fest has a special do-it-yourself feel. Hit the jump for more.
First is a trailer for The Meaning of Robots. Mike Sullivan has spent the past ten years making a stop motion robot movie. Did I mention that it’s nothing but robot puppets having sex with each other? Eat your heart out, Hajime Sorayama. It’s showing this year at Sundance.
Next is a Funny or Die short with Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer explaining the next evolutionary step in motion capture technology.
Last up is the the massive undertaking that is Star Wars Uncut. Episode IV is split up into 15 second sections, with each section reshot by a different team of fans. If there was a fan film to end all fan films, this would be it. Enjoy!
Catch you next week! And if you have any video suggestions send them to pixeldripgallery@gmail.com.

Get ready to shout "MORTAAAL KOMBAAAAT!" really really loudly! Following up on their previous releases of Kitana and Raiden, Syco Collectibles is creating another round of Mortal Kombat statues and busts. The goods available for pre-order vary in format, either being 18 inch Premium Format statues, 10 inch Collectible statues, or 1/2 scale busts. Scorpion seems to be the favorite, being included in all three (18 inch, 10 inch, and one regular and one exclusive bust). Other Kombatants include Subzero (18 inch and 10 inch), Ermac, Liu Kang, Jade, and Mileena.
Some of the items are already starting to be waitlisted at Syco Collectibles' online store. Fortunately, a few other online retailers have the toys for sale. AmiAmi and Big Bad Toy Store both have the toys available for pre-order. Prices range from US$129.99 to US$299.99.

I do hate you, recolors. I really do. I've gone on so many times about how much I hate them and how lazy it is, but then I just can't stop myself from doing anything about it. This time it's the two Gundams I have grown to love the most, Gundam Unicorn and Strike Gundam. Now they're both headed for the exclusive Bandai Pro Hobby Shop.
Fresh off the heels of the announcement of the Master Grade Gundam Unicorn Banshee, they now have the "Final Battle" version. All this means for the uninitiated is that the Psycoframe is now green instead of gold/orange. They did do one thing different as now those parts will light up. Okay Bandai, you got me. Shut up and take my money! Oh wait, you made this an exclusive to be released in May for 5,250 yen. Way to go!
Trying to appeal to my other Gundam fetish is the Real Grade Strike Gundam. They're releasing it in two varieties: the original version as well as the Phase-Shift Down (read: gray) version. They both cost the same, 2,100 yen, and will be released in March. There's no difference in parts, just colors. Again, it's web shop limited, so feel free and try to get these.
I hate myself for saying it, but I want that Final Battle Banshee if just for the LEDs. It's about time that they got to doing an official version to do the trick that so many Gunpla builders have already done.
