Machinima Premiere

What is machinima?

A simple definition would be "Making movies with computer games".

A longer definition is "Machinima is filmmaking within a real-time, 3D virtual environment, often using 3D video-game technologies.
In an expanded definition, it is the convergence of filmmaking, animation and game development. Machinima is real-world filmmaking techniques applied within an interactive virtual space where characters and events can be either controlled by humans, scripts or artificial intelligence." - machinima.org faq

You can read another full description from - Machinimag
It has also been described as "A revolution in film-making", "The mp3 of movies", A "Punk" art-form, and many other things! For me it is a fascinating, and fun, hobby!

What is Machinima Premiere for? To promote the making of machinima movies.

Suzanne Vega in Second Life

On the 3rd of August 2006, Suzanne Vega became the first major recording artist to perform live within a virtual world in avatar form. Suzanne was interviewed by The Infinite Mind's John Hockenberry within Second Life.

This short video tries to catch the moment from the perspective of the audience of the avatars who, from their 'armchairs' around the world, shared this moment together, live.

The singer's avatar explains how her original acapella version of "Tom's Diner" became the basis for MP3s, then proceeds to sing it.

Historical Movie - LindenWorld

Historical Movie - LindenWorld August 2001
Friday, August 18th, 2006 at 12:35 PM PST

by: James Linden

On the eve of the Second Life Community Convention, here’s a present for the community.

While trying to generate some archival screen shots, Andrew and I managed to get a build running of Second Life circa August 2001. We called it “LindenWorld” back in those days. Here’s a video showing what we looked like back then. I apologize in advance for the movie quality - I’m an engineer, not an artist, and I shot and narrated this in one take.

machinima - Sims99.com

Sims99.com was started in January of 2005 as a way to share, rate, and review machinima made with The Sims 2, which was largely unrepresented on other sites. In June of 2005, we opened the site to all forms of machinima, and in June of 2006, we expanded to include user created flash movies, animation, live action short films, and also commercial release movies and DVD on TV, especially with an eye to ratings and reviews.

Machinima in Second Life

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 1,391,717 people from around the globe.

From the moment you enter the World you'll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity. Once you've explored a bit, perhaps you'll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business.
http://secondlife.com/whatis/world.php

You'll also be surrounded by the Creations of your fellow residents. Because residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell and trade with other residents.

Machinima is the art of making real movies in virtual worlds.

Movies made in Second Life use the world's building, scripting, and avatar customization tools, working in real-time collaboration with people around the globe. You can use Second Life as your own virtual back lot, soundstage, choreography studio, costume and prop repository, and special effects house.

Download Eric Linden’s tips on making Machinima in Second Life as well as his thoughts on producing and directing the proof of concept demo for his film "Silver Bells and Golden Spurs."
