Hi there I’m Steve. I enjoy video editing and making machinima films. My love for film is what drew me to machinima.After following the machinima community for some time, I began to produce my own work in 2005 anonymously. Due to the positive reception from those films I decided to release my work under a new name; Lagspike.In November 2008 I took home two awards for best writing and best short format at the Machinima Filmfest in New York City. My machinima films have been featured on Digg, Kotaku, Bluesnews, WoW-Europe.com, GamesRadar, WoW Insider, Curse, and other high profile websites. Also in 2008 I was hired to produce work professionally which allowed me to push things further than ever before.Editing is mainly done using a combination of Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop. I’m always looking for new games to experiment with but have spent a lot of time working with Valve’s Source engine, the Unreal 3 engine, and World of Warcraft. I enjoy the challenge of creating original and entertaining films using a variety of resources.
