Ignis Solus
Ignis Solus is latin, and roughly translates to "burn alone." It is a bit of an experiment in improvised machinima, and as far as we can tell, also constitutes the first piece of Team Fortress Two machinima not created by Valve.
War of the Servers
In 2007, The Gmod servers go to war, from Lit Fuse Films comes "War of the Servers". Based on the musical "Jeff Wayne's musical of War of the Worlds" This action/parody adventure follows one players story to get to his friends before the servers crash.
Jill's Song
In Jill's song we meet Jack Stone, and see a little of what makes him tick. It's a tragic and personal tale of lost love and broken dreams. Jill's Song is also a short companion piece to a much larger film currently in production.

Extras
What you'll find here is short films or trailers for things that, to us, don't merit their own profile but are still good none the less. Things such as mod trailers like Insurgency, Riot Act and more. Also short videos such as Don't Shoot the Wockets.
Our music was first released for purchase around early 2008 and since then we've received a lot of orders for the files. As a thank you for those who supported us all this time, we have decided to give the ENTIRE music library away for free. I hope it brings back memories when those videos first came out.
Since Lit Fuse has stopped its Machinima making duties, some of you may be wondering what we're up to these days and how you might stay in contact with what we're doing. Below these lines of text are sections for each person from Lit Fuse and a little insight of what's going on in our lives at the moment and hopefully some links for you guys to follow our work.
