I'm way way behind on a few podcasts and I just listened to one talking about Elite Dangerous!

The podcast covers all sorts of machinima (games-based filmmaking), and often includes reviews, tips, resources, and deep dives into the origins of machinima as a medium.

• Episode description

This week our film selection is an Elite Dangerous Odyssey 'Captain's Log' style machinima, heavily influenced by Douglas Adams and John Carpenter with shades of Gerry Anderson. The film is The Personal Odyssey 1 by Cmdr Fortytwo. We discuss the use of AI generated voices in this (its a 2021 film) and in particular how well its use can convey emotion - our debate is a deliberation on the choice to create a monotonic dialogue. Damien's overview of the Thargoids is a fascinating insight into the hidden game lore of Elite Dangerous.
