I enhanced the English and German wikipedia articles about "Machinima" (meaning realtime-rendered live action movies) with a paragraph about simulator based machinima. And with that I mean YOUR fabulous stuff. Your work deserves to be mentioned in an encyclopedia. Here is the excerpt.
---------------- snip --------------- Simulator based machinima A new and emerging trend in machinima are films in which the plot is carried forward mostly by cars, airplanes etc. as well as selectively chosen ingame objects and scenery. Characters are introduced only by voice over dialogue - the protagonists are therefore the (unseen) pilots of the presented vehicles. This is due to a restriction of the used game software which typically cannot render user controlled characters. These machinima movies are often created in flight simulators, car driving/racing games or similar software. Because events can be difficult to script in simulators, the final movie is typically created in video editing software, sometimes adding additional effects. A good example for a humorous simulator-machinima is the movie Bensky & Mutch (French dialogue, subtitle files are available). A further example is an intricately "filmed" war epos called "I Promise" --------------- snap ---------------- The Wikipedia article contains links to both quoted movies. Excuse if it sounds clunky, my native tongue is German. Someone will surely jump in and correct it. Wikis can be edited by anyone. |
