What is Machinima

For those of you who don’t know what Machinima is I STRONGLY recommend you read this Wikipedia article. But for short Machinima refers to short movies made using real-time image rendering by a 3D Game engine. Some of the most popular game engines used for this are Hallo, Sims 2, Rome total War, World of Warcraft and even Half-Life.

What the artist actually does is control the characters, camera and sets in order to create short movies, most of them quite funny. The reason many artists choose this form of making movies is because it’s quite cheap and it provides a wide array of possibilities with limited resources.

There are many machinima groups out there but one of the most known is ILL clan with famous productions like Hardly Workin’ and Apartment Huntin’ . For more quality machinima visit www.machinima.com.
