Machinima : Cheat Sheet (OCR Media Conference 2009)
1. Machinima Cheat Sheet
âFilm-making in a real-time virtual 3d environmentâ
Machinima (a portmanteau of machine and cinema) is a method of storytelling and film-making
using a virtual 3d environment, often a computer game. Machinima movies are being made
using games as diverse as
⢠The Sims
⢠World of Warcraft
⢠Halo
⢠Grand Theft Auto
⢠Half-life
⢠The Movies
⢠Battlefield
⢠Unreal
⢠Little Big Planet
Additionally, dedicated tools have emerged which, whilst not computer games, use computer
game technology to provide a movie-making environment on your own computer. These
include
⢠Second Life (which is sort-of a game, but not really)
⢠Iclone (www.reallusion,com/iclone)
⢠Antics 3D (www.antics3d.com)
⢠Moviestorm (www.moviestorm.co.uk)
⢠ZenCub3d (www.zencub3d.com)
Machinima is fast (at least, compared to real-world movie-making), easy and often requires only
one person and one computer to make. There's lots of information available online:
