- World Of Warcraft: Tell your own tales of heroism in the world of A zeroth, 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!
- Movie-Storm: 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.
