Machinima gehören sicherlich zu den spannendsten Phänomenen, die die gaming culture in den letzten Jahren hervorgebracht hat. Was aber ist Machinima? Friedrich Kirschner, ein pronocierter Aktivist der Szene, definiert wie folgt: “Shooting film (Cameras record the action going on) in a realtime 3d (the time needed for the computer to transform the abstract data into a 3-dimensional visible representation is so little that you do not notice it) virtual environment (the actors aren’t human, but virtual Avatars or Objects, controlled by user input or scripting and act in a virtual world that is simulated using a computer game). Thus, machinima is a mix of three ways to produce moving images: machine * animation * cinema.” Mehr
