We ever had a thread on machinima? I bet Seen would be good at it.

Some bold claims here:

Machinima is probably the next movement to burst from the underground and go mainstream. It doesn't seem hyperbole to call it the new punk. While it's hard to think of something really new happening in popular music, the world of film has never been explored and popularised in anything like the same way. Until now.

A lot of people have probably stumbled across them on youtube etc. which is where I saw one yesterday that I enjoyed although.... I'm not quite sure why I enjoyed it so much. It's based on Team Fortress 2:

Quote:

In filmmaking, machinima (pronounced /məˈʃiːnɨmə/ or /məˈʃɪnɨmə/) refers to the use of real-time three-dimensional (3-D) graphics rendering engines to generate computer animation, or to films that incorporate such animation. Machinima creators, sometimes called machinimists or machinimators, often use graphics engines from video games. This use has roots in the 1980s demoscene movement that attached animated introductions to software, and in 1990s recordings of speedruns—attempts to complete a mission as quickly as possible—and of multiplayer matches in first-person shooter (FPS) video games. id Software's 1996 FPS Quake was used in the first machinima films, then called "Quake movies"; the term machinima was later coined as a misspelled portmanteau of machine cinema.^[1] Other games, including those of the Unreal and Halo series, began to be used for machinima. Game developers have provided tools for making machinima, and machinima has appeared in mainstream media, including television and advertisements.

Do you understand all this Nick?

It seems to be a new art form that's pretty accessible to the 'man in the street' or the 'youth of today'. I think it's a good thing. Absolutely. In the same way youtube and all the rest have allowed people to become directors and writers and producers all of a sudden. Freedom to express yourself isn't a bad thing is it? OR IS IT!!!???

This thread is gonna be locked man. We're creating waves. The management will close us down man.

Tav, oh Tav, he rhymes with lav,
But look within and there you'll have,
Not shite and piss and bog roll old,
But words so wise and threads of gold.

And now I go a bit punk with this line...

BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS ARSE BOLLOCKS. HIGH FIVE.

There was a Spectrum game called Deus Ex Machina, wasn't there? Supposed to be all futuristic, it was fucking crap.

I quickly went back to playing PiOlympics

After I typed that I googled PiOlympics to see if I could find some screenshots or vids, couldn't find anything relating to it on the speccy? Definitely existed, you were a little bloke with a big nose jumping over hurdles, purple (magenta) graphics I think

why has this game been erased from history?

Deus ex machina is a Latin term referring to a simplistic technique of resolving a plot.

I've finally had a go at this after.... how ever many years ago I made this thread.

It's fucking hard work, very hardcore, frustrating and difficult and time consuming. I'm just learning the basics just now though (only had it a couple of days)... so far my skill level is... here... BEHOLD my awfulness!!!
