ClanAM started back in 1997 or 1996 playing games like Doom and Quake. However, we really didn't hit our stride as a full-fledged gaming clan until Unreal Tournament came out. Half of our members played under Linux, the other half in Windows.
Here are the movies that we made during the Unreal Tournament years.
This was the very first movie ever made by Clan of the Angry Monkey. This movie was made in late 2002 (was posted to the site in 2003).
The backstory for this silly movie is that our clan played Unreal Tournament every Friday and Saturday night. Unfortunately, our weekly games intersected with the weekly airing of some Sci Fi television series that nearly everyone in the clan watched. The end result was that, every week in the middle of our games, most of our members would drop out of the game to watch this TV show. This meant that the games were pretty much on hold for an hour while this show aired. After the show was over, everyone would come back and we would continue our evening of carnage.
Well, one week, the three of us that remained in the game decided to goof off while we waited. This movie is the result.
Long backstory for such a silly short, no? Meh... bite me..

A little ClanAM promotional video we made back in 2003. It starred many of the ClanAM regulars from the time (certainly, the people who played the most). The video took around 6 months to complete (because we had to gather enough footage and then edit it all together).
As an interesting bit of trivia, some of the people featured in this video are still around in ClanAM. Here is a list of everyone who's still around:
