Product Description

Review

"...a great start, covering machinima–friendly games like World of Warcraft, Half Life 2 and Unreal Tournament." (PC Plus, February 2009)


Product Description

Use this book to learn how you can, at little or no expense, make virtually any movie using Machinima. The authors guide you from making your first Machinima movie to a grounding in both conventional filmmaking and Machinima technology that will let you tackle very complex film projects.

The book focuses on the following Machinima platforms:

  • The Sims 2: Arguably the most popular Machinima platform of all time, The Sims 2 allows you to tell stories ranging from romance to noir action.
  • World Of Warcraft: Tell your own tales of heroism in the world of Azeroth, following in the footsteps of award–winning Machinima creators and even the makers of South Park.
  • Medieval 2: Total War – This astonishing new game allows you to create Lord of the Rings–scale medieval battle films using just a home computer!
  • MovieStorm: For the first time, unleash the power of Machinima as a professional user using a fully–featured, fully–licensed commercial Machinima platform.

You′ll be introduced 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what a "Dummies" book should be, 21 Nov 2007
By P. E. Jacobs "relative-past" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent introduction to a vast subject.

The step-by-step sections will doubtless age quickly, but the overviews of the film-making jargon and of the basic machinima process - and especially the hands-on creative advice - will be relevant for many years to come. The included Moviestorm software is excellent, too (but check their web site for advice before installing if you have Vista rather than XP).

Recommended.
