Machinima For Dummies® |
| Hugh Hancock; Johnnie Ingram |
| This book shows how the reader can, at little or no expense, make virtually any movie using Machinima. We take the reader from making their first Machinima movie to a grounding in both conventional filmmaking and Machinima technology that will let them tackle very complex film projects. The book will focus on three filmmaking technologies in particular: *The Movies: The breakthrough game is focussed on quick and easy filmmaking. It offers a very smooth, easy transition into movie-making for beginners. *The Sims 2: Offers more sophisticated movie creation tools and an enormous range of available content. This game allows more complex Machinima production. *Half-Life 2: By far the most complex and powerful Machinima tool available, Half-Life 2's 'Source' engine allows Machinima creators artistic control and visual quality comparable with conventional 3D animation.
The book will contain introductions to all aspects of Machinima production, from live filming in a game through the creation of sets, props and characters, as well as the basics of cinematography, storytelling and sound design.
