Nathan Valdez on Hackernoon: “I Fell Into a Machinima Rabbit Hole And I’m Glad I Did”

A few nights back, I was on YouTube looking for some old GTA machinimas. You know the kind with cringy dialogue, terrible storytelling. I was getting nostalgic waiting for GTA6. I did find some good stuff, but got bored after a while and was about to exit when I stumbled upon a video called Rest in Pieces.

The thumbnail was kinda ambiguous. The title didn’t reveal much. But it was billed as a GTA machinima, so I clicked.

Rest in Pieces is short, creepy, snarky, and kinda offbeatly funny in that deadpan, dead tone. Like, it’s clearly horror, but it doesn’t take the machinima itself very seriously at the same time. There are puns concealed, visual humor that doesn’t draw attention to itself, and small easter eggs that made me rewind and pause more than a few times. I don’t even know how to describe the style exactly, it’s like if Freddy’s Nightmares, Salad Fingers, and Adult Swim had a baby in Los Santos.

Of course, I clicked on the channel. Alvin Soprano owns it. Never heard of her. Hell, at first, I thought she was a guy, but I quickly figured out that this wasn’t her first rodeo. She’s been doing this for years. Since the beginning of YouTube. Unfortunately, a lot of her older work is gone. Deleted channels. Archived projects. I felt like I missed an entire era.

But what stays online looks like her new work, which felt great to view. There are three other machinimas on her channel, all done using The Sims 4. Not gonna lie, I never played The Sims, not even once. I watched gameplays, I know the game, but that’s all. But still, I like what she did. Even the graphics did not look like The Sims. I have no idea how she did it. But she did.

I’ve seen the first one, which was Drained. It’s short, pouty, and sort of silly. It’s all sarcasm, and the actors always appear about to blow up into tacky ’90s adult film stereotypes.

And then there’s Bone-Skinny, which I didn’t expect to slap me the way it did. Underneath all the surreal editing and askew dialogue, it’s actually saying something. I don’t want to spoil it, but there’s a clear message there. And it resonates if you have body image issues.

And finally, Goodbye Mommy. It’s creepy in all the right ways. I thought of all those cursed VHS-style analog horror vids, but handled by The Sims. It does something wrong, and it feels right.

I adore that none of them feel like they’re overstaying their welcome. There is not that soul-scouring “like and subscribe” feel. Just short films, made in games, with style, wit, and plenty of odd sense. I’ve watched a lot of machinimas before GTA ones, Skyrim, even Minecraft, but these were a whole different cup of tea. Somehow makes me regret not having found her sooner, when all the older vids were still up. But oh well, better late than never.

If you’re into that sorta thing, check Soprano Productions out on YouTube and thank me later!

Alvin Soprano Returns to YouTube with Four New Machinimas, Teases Upcoming Anthology Series

After a lengthy period of silence, Alvin Soprano has returned to YouTube with four new machinima films released between December 2024 and February 2025. The uploads arrived without fanfare, consistent with her sporadic online habits, but have quickly drawn attention from longtime followers.

The first film, Goodbye Mommy, was released on December 13, 2024, using The Sims 4. It marked her first upload since 2021 and was followed just twelve days later by Rest in Pieces, a Christmas Day release created in GTA V. She continued into 2025 with Drained (January 8) and Bone-Skinny (February 14), both made in The Sims 4.

In a short-lived post on her now-deleted BlueSky account, Soprano mentioned yesterday that she is currently developing a machinima anthology series titled The Witching Hour. This immediately sparked speculation among fans, as the title matches that of an older Sims machinima she released in 2020 and later pulled during her 2021 purge. That original version has never been officially reuploaded.

While no details have been shared about the new project, the reuse of the title has led some to believe it could be a reimagining or spinoff of the lost original. Soprano hasn’t responded to any comments or questions about it.

Soprano, who has been making machinima since the mid-2000s, often draws on recurring themes like decaying architecture, surreal horror, and psychological tension. Her return—though unannounced—suggests she may be entering a new phase of output. Whether The Witching Hour becomes a full-fledged series or another standalone short remains unknown.

Bill Gaard Posts Another Photo with Girlfriend Alvin Soprano

Wilhelm “Bill” Gaard shared another photo featuring his girlfriend, Alvin Soprano, on his Instagram on February 15th.

The new post comes just two weeks after the first public confirmation of their relationship, which occurred on February 1st, when Bill posted a selfie with Alvin. This latest image has once again drawn attention from their followers, offering another glimpse into their relationship.

The picture where the couple seems all dressed up seemingly on a date has led many fans to speculate that it was taken on February 14, Valentine’s Day. Although Bill has not explicitly confirmed the date of the photo, the timing, paired with the couple’s expressions and the context of the previous February 1st selfie, suggests that it may have been a Valentine’s Day selfie.

The February 1st selfie, which marked the first time Bill publicly posted a photo with Alvin, sparked widespread speculation about the pair’s relationship status. Since then, the couple has remained relatively private, with only these two Instagram posts giving fans a closer look at their connection. This second post, taken in what appears to be a celebratory or intimate setting, strengthens the idea that Bill and Alvin have been continuing their relationship privately but are now open to sharing these moments with their followers.

Alvin Soprano has released her latest machinima short, Bone-Skinny, yesterday on February 14, 2025.

The new film is available for streaming on her YouTube channel, Soprano Productions, and delves into the dark and disturbing consequences of an obsession with body image.

Bone-Skinny follows the story of Chloe Winson, a woman who is desperate to lose weight.

Chloe soon realizes that her dream body is coming at a horrifying cost, and the consequences of her decision may be more than she can bear.

Silvio Castiglione voices the telemarketer who introduces Chloe to the “MagicSlim” supplement, while Alvin Soprano herself provides the voice for Ophelia, a mysterious character who plays a role in Chloe’s transformation.

Bone-Skinny is the fourth machinima short released by Alvin Soprano since she relaunched her YouTube channel on December 13, 2024. The first of these films, Goodbye Mommy, marked Soprano’s return to machinima filmmaking after a three year period of hiatus. Following that, she released Rest in Pieces and Drained. With Bone-Skinny, Soprano continues to explore psychological horror, suspense, and character-driven narratives that are central to her machinima style.

Written and directed by Soprano, Bone-Skinny showcases her continued interest in creating eerie, thought-provoking stories using digital animation and voice acting. The film explores themes of body image, self-esteem, and the dangerous lengths people will go to in search of perfection, all wrapped in a chilling and suspenseful storyline.

Bone-Skinny is now available on the Soprano Productions YouTube channel, where viewers can experience the latest addition to Alvin Soprano’s growing machinima portfolio.

Alvin Soprano Relaunches YouTube Channel with New Machinima “Goodbye Mommy”

Alvin Soprano, the talented filmmaker and voice actress, has made a sensational return to YouTube after a three-year break.

Los Angeles, California (Issuewire.com)  – Alvin Soprano has relaunched her channel, Soprano Productions, with a brand-new Machinima short film titled “Goodbye Mommy,” marking an exciting new chapter in her creative journey.

Rated 5.9 on IMDb, “Goodbye Mommy” showcases Alvin’s multifaceted talents. Not only did she write, direct, and produce the film, but she also voiced the character of the mother, adding a personal touch to the project. The film’s editing was a collaborative effort with Matthew James Gordon, while the sound design and music were masterfully crafted by Jakob William Chambers, adding an extra layer of eerie atmosphere to the production.

“Goodbye Mommy” represents a shift from Alvin’s earlier works, which were longer and utilized GTA V and Blender. This new short film was created using The Sims 4, with additional scenes seamlessly integrated using Blender. The combination of these two media is executed so smoothly that it becomes difficult to distinguish between them.

To enhance the film’s unsettling vibe, Alvin applied a VHS effect to the digital footage, lending it a nostalgic, retro feel. Set in the 90s, the film’s environment features period-specific furniture and electronics, contributing to its eerie and immersive atmosphere.

The story begins on a stormy night with young Lucy, seemingly home alone, playing with her My Little Pony toy. The power goes out, and she hears a loud thud, prompting her to call for her dad. As she checks if it was him, she turns to see the front door open, with a woman’s silhouette illuminated by a bright light. Realizing it’s her mother, Lucy calls out to her. The beaming light stops abruptly, and her mother collapses, unable to cross over to the other side.

In a spine-chilling sequence, Lucy’s mother, with a body twitching as if all her bones are broken, starts walking towards her. Each step causes the power to flicker on and off, bringing her closer to Lucy. When she finally stands in front of Lucy, she says, “Mommy’s back, Lucy,” in a disturbing, demonic voice. Lucy, however, refuses to believe it’s her mother, declaring, “She’s no ugly ass demon like you.”

After a tense confrontation, the power goes out again. When it returns, the woman’s eyes are closed, her face down, breathing heavily. She then opens her eyes and calls out Lucy’s name in a surprised manner, as if regaining control of her possessed body. Her eyes shut once more, and her face falls. When the power returns, Lucy anxiously calls out for her mother. Her mother looks up and screams “RUN!” in a demonic shriek, prompting Lucy to flee.

The film reaches its climax with a shocking jumpscare that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, before fading to black and rolling the credits.

Alvin Soprano’s “Goodbye Mommy” marks a refreshing and thrilling comeback to YouTube, demonstrating her growth as a filmmaker and storyteller. Her ability to seamlessly blend different media and deliver a compelling narrative has set a new standard for her future projects. Fans are eagerly anticipating what Alvin will create next on her rejuvenated channel.

Alvin Soprano Releases First Machinima Since 2021

Acclaimed machinima filmmaker Alvin Soprano has released her latest project, Goodbye Mommy, yesterday on December 13, 2024. The short horror film, created using The Sims 4, marks Soprano’s official return to machinima after three years of inactivity.

Goodbye Mommy was written and directed by Alvin Soprano, who also voiced the role of the mother. The film stars Alvin Soprano’s niece Belinda Soprano as Lucy (voice), delivering a compelling performance that adds depth to the story’s emotional weight.

Goodbye Mommy tells the chilling story of Lucy, a young girl who encounters her recently deceased mother as she crosses into the afterlife. However, when Lucy interrupts her mother’s transition to the light, she quickly realizes that something has gone terribly wrong. Her mother has transformed into something sinister. The film explores eerie supernatural elements, using Soprano’s signature dark atmosphere with analoguesque visuals and detailed cinematography.

Soprano, the Italian-Turkish machinima producer, writer, model, voice actor and director, has been creating animated films using game engines since 2010. She initially launched her first YouTube channel that same year, steadily building a reputation for her unique storytelling and visual style. However, in 2017, she deleted the channel and all of its content. In 2019, she started a new channel and continued producing machinimas, primarily using The Sims 4 and Grand Theft Auto V. Her work included titles such as Kill the Messenger, Oblivious, and Planet Z. Despite her successful return, she ceased creating machinimas once again in 2021, removing all content from her channel before stepping away from the scene. After three years of silence, Soprano made her long-awaited return in December 2024 with Goodbye Mommy.
