'''Alchemy''' (2012) is a movie by a director credited as "S. Thompson" (but [[User:Jeremygbyrne/Provenance_of_Alchemy_movie|almost certainly]] not [[Suzanna Thompson]] as has [[User:Jeremygbyrne/Seven_in_Xianity#Identifications|been suggested]]), based on the novels ''[[User:Jeremygbyrne/Augury (novel)|Augury]]'' and ''[[User:Jeremygbyrne/Alchemy (novel)|Alchemy]]'' by [[User:Jeremygbyrne/Sylvia Roslyn La Some|Sylvia Roslyn La Some]] and shown simultaneously to an estimated 110 million viewers from 10.30-12.00 GMT (plus a 15-minute follow-up in [http://xianity.org/alchemymovie/broadcast.html some countries]) [[22 December]] [[2012]].
The movie was created using a [[game engine]] ([[User:Jeremygbyrne/Provenance_of_Alchemy_movie#technical|speculatively identified]] as [[User:Jeremygbyrne/Seven_in_Xianity#HugeWorld|HugeWorld]] v1.5) and [[found objects]], in the form of publicly available high-quality avatars of certain actors. This process is known as [[machinima|machinimation]], and ''Alchemy'' is an early example of "broadcast-quality" products in this medium.
==Cast==
All cast-members of this film were simulated using computer-generated [[avatars]]. There is some evidence the actors whose images were used in this way had been approached by individuals purporting to represent a filmmaking venture during the years preceding the release of the movie, but at least one [http://xianity.org/alchemymovie/legal.html settlement] has been recorded against the production company.

In October 2012 the producers of the film agreed to include a "[[User:Jeremygbyrne/Attribution#BOIB|Based on Ideas By]]" microtip box on all Cycle-related websites, on the basis of an "informal [[storyline patent]]" registration by the publisher of ''[[User:Jeremygbyrne/Bete Noir|Bete Noir]]'', in relation to the character of Maddie.▼

''Material in this section is incomplete and particularly subject to change.''
*Maddie's background with [[Krumping]]; later exposure to [[Capoeira]] (see [[#Intellectual Property Issues|below]])
*[[Burning Man]]
*[[Bohemian Grove]]
*Meeting at silent rave with ''DJ Null'' (formerly of [[User:Jeremygbyrne/The Spike|The Spike]])
*Noble dialogue from Wulf re. the [[Documentary hypothesis]] corrupting a purist, down-to-earth [[Jahwist]] text with [[Elohist]] mysticism as a compromise and then additional codes of law for in support of various kings for "reformist" ends; leads into Revelation hoax material
*[[Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia]], pretender to the Imperial crown of Prussia, becomes one of William's paladins, an informal group of princelings who support and assist him in his mission; denounced as "The Apostles of the Antichrist" in the US media
:*Georg Friedrich has a connection to the [[Russian cosmism|Russian cosmists]], early singularitarians who influenced the development of the [[User:Jeremygbyrne/Datapool|datapool]]
*Fuller Thomas's final speech is an obvious ''hommage'' to the Oscar-nominated [[Ned Beatty|Arthur Jensen]] "There is no America, There is no Democracy" [http://www.americanrhetoric.com/MovieSpeeches/moviespeechnetwork4.html rant] from ''[[Network (film)|Network]]'', although at an unwieldy six minutes it has more often been compared to the interminable [[Architect (The Matrix)|Architect]] monologue in [[The Matrix Reloaded]]
*A "[[User:Jeremygbyrne/American_Taliban|terrorist incident]]" involving the re-shaping of the bust of Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore to resemble Osama bin Laden using carefully placed explosive charges is later revealed to have been a Confederate Century signal

Several major ''in-game'' remakes of the film were produced in the late twenteens.
==Dedication==
The film is dedicated (in its closing credits) to "The Work and Wisdom of [[User:Jeremygbyrne/Sylvia_Roslyn_La_Some|Sylvia La Some]]". This connection is credited with a significant upsurge in interest in what was until then a relatively [[User:Jeremygbyrne/Xianity|obscure cult]].
