The word “Machinima” is a loose hybrid of the words “machine” and “cinema.” It’s used to describe the process of creating real-time animation by manipulating a video game’s engine and assets. Machinima.com is a website that produces and distributes original online machinima series. It generates more than 120 million video views per month across its network, making it one of the top all-time entertainment channels on YouTube and the ultimate destination for video gamers.
Tonight, LIVE, right now, at the Hollywood Web Television Meetup, we are teaming up with Machinima.com in order to get a closer look at this entertainment medium and cutting edge method of storytelling.
Watch to see some of the best in the machinima business talk about how they make the video-game-engine-powered-cinematic-magic happen. Tonight’s panelists will take you through the techniques of using games as a way to make compelling machinima content, the technical aspects of using games as a medium, and the business of online video. Here’s the lineup from Machinima.com:
