3. MACHINIMA
Machinima, portmanteau of the words machine and cinema, is a way for video game fans to capture their play in action, and to create films based around games, using computer graphics and virtual reality. Machinima.com aims to provide video game fans, dubbed fan laborers, to make videos and share them with other machinimators. Making machinima video clips is a way of capturing some of your favorite gameplay scenes and graphics. With the rapid rate of games and the hardware they run on being upgraded, machinima is also a way of documenting what will eventually become obsolete gaming, however stunning the graphics may now be.
Machinima first came to prominence through the use of the computer game Quake in the mid 90's. One fan laborer made a very brief film with a short story line capturing some of the goriest scenes and graphics in the game. This short film, Diary of a Camper, inspired many more gamers to make their own Quake movies. Since then it has gained widespread mainstream attention, and with the launch of the website, solidified the community. It has now come to commercial use, with video game developers allowing for machinma based miniseries and advertisements.
