Mechinima with voiceover.  eMBee reports: [as of July 12, 2013]
they had 3 episodes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVsPtgTJxC0&index=1&list=PLPzADPauWt8oCnze3pkTuYdTxaKAkbvmk
and they were working on a remake of the first.
the episodes are:
E01 - Wie alles begann (How Everything Began)  Director's cut, released August 30, 2014:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypCZK35uTGU (24:47)  Another's Director's cut, WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES EMBEDDED released Sept. 12, 2014, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7GOuIm4XIY (24:46)  English language viewers:  Good story, but the subtitles are a bit quick at times.  This episode does not appear to be a free standing story with an ending.  You may want to wait until they subtitle the other two episodes.
