Who We Are

“Machinima” refers to a film genre and a modern method of producing videos using video games. This term, derived from the combination of “machine” and “cinema,” encompasses some of the most innovative digital video content in modern production. Incorporating game footage into computer-based platforms allows for the addition of music, alteration of dialogue, inclusion of voice-overs, and other creative modifications, enabling the creation of highlight reels, demonstration of impressive gameplay, and the development of original short films. To accomplish this, digital tools such as a camcorder and basic editing software are required to capture and process the footage. This guide offers fundamental techniques for this process, along with instructions for sharing the resulting creations with others.
