Revision as of 00:35, 3 July 2008
Machinima (pronounced /məˈʃiːnəmə/ or /məˈʃɪnəmə/), a Portmanteau of machine cinema, is a collection of associated production techniques whereby computer-generated imagery (CGI) is rendered using real-time, interactive 3-D engines, such as those of games, instead of professional 3D animation software.[1]
Creating machinima is a popular past time among WoW players. It is the process of creating movies about the game by capturing game play and putting it together with music with editing software.
Note that just recording gameplay (for example PvP videos) isn't considered machinima. Machinima implies that a movie editing program has been used at some point.
Production
To make WoW Movies one needs a couple of programs (most of them can be downloaded for free), a bit of time and some creativity.
So first you need to get some video capturing software from fraps.com, Wegame.com (I prefer this one because it works well and its free), or planetgamecam.com. The next step to making your own WoW Movie is the video editing software which if you are using Windows XP you already have, it's called Windows Movie Maker. Or you can use WoW Model Viewer.
Now you have the software you need, next come up with an idea, capture some game play, edit it down and add some music or voice overs. Then up load your new WoW Movie to places like YouTube.com, Wegame.com, Warcraftmovies.com, Machinima.com, or Google video and your on your way to stardom.
