Machinimas Are New Cinematic Genre (AP):

"Part cinema, part video game, these so-called machinimas don't need real actors, props, cameras or sets — just a home computer.

This emerging form of filmmaking uses the graphics power of today's computer games to create movies with remarkable visceral power....

What's revolutionary for directors, says Marino, is that machinimas can be made in real time....

Campbell demonstrated the software, and the results were startling. Using the mouse, he added actors, props and lights into a virtual set, then directed the action with a few clicks and some keystrokes.

About five minutes of work produced a 30-second movie that he could then save onto a compact disc or DVD for later viewing."

Whoa! Check out the Machinima.com: shooting film in virtual reality. And Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences.
