Machinima

Machinima is the art of making movies of online games - and virtual worlds like Second Life. As you might expect there's a Wikipedia article on machinima. Of course there is a lot to know about making machinima, but to get a taste of what this might be like, there's is a built-in recorder in Second Life itself. Click "FILE" and "start/stop movie to disk". Remember to save the file somewhere other than the desktop. These movie files can be LARGE, so be forewarned! Movies can be edited, sound can be added. Other programs besides the built-in recorder are used for making machinima. For some introductory information see: Top Ten Tips for Creating Machinima
