DigitalPh33r made the following tutorial covering the in’s and out’s of machinima. What is “machinima”? Well it’s a portmanteau word, or a fusing of two different words together into one machine cinema.

This first installment of DigitalPh33r’s Guide to Making Halo 3 Machinima covers the pros and cons of machinima, the games to use as a medium and legal issues regarding game content and use of music.

I know this isn’t new but I really enjoyed this excellent machinima parody of the BBC series “Top Gear” made using the Battlefield 2 engine by XaliaS Designs and SIR Community. Watch this reenactment of a Challenger 2 tank hunting a SUV (the vehicle was actually a Range Rover Sport in the original Top Gear airing) that tries to escape through a forest. Enjoy!
