About Me

Welcome to my site! My name is Brandon and I make machinima movies using video game artwork. I am a writer at heart, and machinima is a great way for me to tell a story. I also write books, short stories and songs.

I graduated from the University of Washington with my BA in history with an emphasis on ancient and classical history. I now work in San Francisco where I am the Creative Director at WeGame.com. I'm thankful that God has blessed me with a job that lets me do my hobby for a living!

I hope you enjoy the site! You can watch all my movies by clicking the Movies tab, and you can read up on my characters by clicking the Characters link from there. You can listen to all my songs for free using the embedded MP3 player on the Homepage, and you can chat with me and the Oxhorn Brand community on the Forums. You can find seriously sweet Oxhorn swag in the Shop and you can read some of my short stories and novel excerpts in the Writings section. Enjoy your stay, and God bless!

FAQs

Q. "Your movies rock! Can you teach me how to make machinima?"

A. Thank you! I have written two machinima guides which you can read here and here. I also produce machinima tutorials which you can watch here. Machinima is a fun and rewarding hobby that I have been blessed enough to turn into a living. It is still a lot of work, and so don't get frustrated if you make a few bad movies. Just keep making movies—that is the important thing!

Here is a list of my machinima tutorials so far, listed in order:

Q. "Can I be in your next movie? Can I be a voice actor?"

A. Thank you for the offer! I do most of the voice acting myself and have a few friends who help me out when I need it. I also don't record any characters in the actual game, but instead composite in my own characters. Thanks for offering to be an actor anyhow!

Q. "I really like your songs! Can I have them on MP3?"

A. I'm glad you like my music! For now, I am not releasing my songs on MP3 because I have had problems with people using my songs in their own movies and claiming the work as theirs. You can still listen to all my music and Nathan's scores for free from the MP3 player on the home page.

Q. "Can I buy your music on CD?"

A. Not yet, but it is something I am looking into!

Q. "I would like to advertise my product or website in your movies. Are you interested?"

A. Maybe. Blizzard allows me ten seconds of space for sponsorship or advertisements in my movies. I place all sponsorship at the end of my movies during the credits, and since I have a reputation for having funny credits, people tend to watch them all the way through. I'd love to talk with you about it, so be sure to email me with your proposal.

Q. "Where does the art from your movies come from?"

A. I use video game art from Blizzard's World of Warcraft massive online role playing game. I have found WoW to be the perfect medium with which to make my movies.
