Machinima 
 Kelland, Morris, and Lloyd argue that improvement in consumer-grade graphics technology will allow more realism; For cut scenes in video games, issues other than visual fidelity arise.
Machinima 
 Pre-rendered scenes can require more digital storage space, weaken suspension of disbelief through contrast with real-time animation of normal gameplay, and limit interaction.
Machinima 
 Like live action, machinima is recorded in real-time, and real people can act and control the camera.
Machinima 
 Filmmakers are often encouraged to follow traditional cinematic conventions, such as avoiding wide fields of view, the overuse of slow motion, and errors in visual continuity.
Machinima 
 Unlike live action, machinima involves less expensive, digital special effects and sets, possibly with a science-fiction or historical theme.
Machinima 
 Explosions and stunts can be tried and repeated without monetary cost and risk of injury, and the host environment may allow unrealistic physical constraints.
Machinima 
 University of Cambridge experiments in 2002 and 2003 attempted to use machinima to re-create a scene from the 1942 live-action film Casablanca.
Machinima 
 Machinima filming differed from traditional cinematography in that character expression was limited, but camera movements were more flexible and improvised.
Machinima 
 Berkeley sees machinima as "a strangely hybrid form, looking forwards and backwards, cutting edge and conservative at the same time".
Machinima 
 Machinima is a digital medium based on 3-D computer games, but most works have a linear narrative structure.
Machinima 
 Some, such as Red vs. Blue and The Strangerhood, follow narrative conventions of television situational comedy.
Machinima 
 Nitsche agrees that pre-recorded ("reel") machinima tends to be linear and offers limited interactive storytelling; he sees more opportunities in machinima performed live and with audience interaction.
Machinima 
 In creating their improvisational comedy series On the Campaign Trail with Larry & Lenny Lumberjack and talk show Tra5hTa1k with ILL Will, the ILL Clan blended real and virtual performance by creating the works on-stage and interacting with a live audience.
Machinima 
 In another combination of real and virtual worlds, Chris Burke's talk show This Spartan Life takes place in Halo 2s open multiplayer environment.
Machinima 
 Although other virtual theatrical performances have taken place in chat rooms and multi-user dungeons, machinima adds "cinematic camera work".
Machinima 
 Previously, such virtual cinematic performances with live audience interaction were confined to research labs which had powerful computers.
Machinima 
 Before using machinima, Burnie Burns and Matt Hullum of Rooster Teeth Productions spent US$9,000 to produce a live-action independent film; in contrast, the four Xbox game consoles used to make Red vs. Blue in 2005 cost $600.
Machinima 
 The low cost caused a product manager for Electronic Arts to compare machinima to the low-budget independent film The Blair Witch Project, without the need for cameras and actors.
Machinima 
 Because these are seen as low barriers to entry, machinima has been called a "democratization of filmmaking".
Machinima 
 Berkeley weighs increased participation and a blurred line between producer and consumer against concerns that game copyrights limit commercialization and growth of machinima.
Machinima 
 Comparatively, machinimists using pre-made virtual platforms like Second Life have indicated that their productions can be made quite successfully with no cost at all.
Machinima 
 Creators like Dutch director Chantal Harvey, producer of the 48 Hour Film Project Machinima sector, have created upwards of 200 films using the platform.
Machinima 
 Harvey's advocacy of the genre has resulted in the involvement of film director Peter Greenaway who was a juror for the Machinima category and gave a keynote speech during the event.
Machinima 
 From simple to advanced, these are: relying on the game's AI to control most actions, digital puppetry, recamming, and precise scripting of actions.
Machinima 
 Although simple to produce, AI-dependent results are unpredictable, thus complicating the realization of a preconceived film script.
Machinima 
 For example, when Rooster Teeth produced The Strangerhood using The Sims 2, a game that encourages the use of its AI, the group had to create multiple instances of each character to accommodate different moods.
Machinima 
 In digital puppetry, machinima creators become virtual actors; each crew member controls a character in real-time, as in a multiplayer game.
Machinima 
 Otherwise, video is captured from the perspectives of one or more puppeteers who serve as camera operators.
Machinima 
 Puppetry allows for improvisation and offers controls familiar to gamers, but requires more personnel than the other methods and is less precise than scripted recordings.
Machinima 
 However, some games, such as the Halo series, (except for Halo PC and Custom Edition, which allow AI and custom objects and characters), allow filming only through puppetry.
Machinima 
 According to Marino, other disadvantages are the possibility of disruption when filming in an open multi-user environment and the temptation for puppeteers to play the game in earnest, littering the set with blood and dead bodies.
Machinima 
 However, Chris Burke intentionally hosts This Spartan Life in these unpredictable conditions, which are fundamental to the show.
Machinima 
 Other works filmed using puppetry are the ILL Clan's improvisational comedy series On the Campaign Trail with Larry & Lenny Lumberjack and Rooster Teeth Productions' Red vs. Blue.
Machinima 
 In recamming, which builds on puppetry, actions are first recorded to a game engine's demo file format, not directly as video frames.
Machinima 
 Without re-enacting scenes, artists can then manipulate the demo files to add cameras, tweak timing and lighting, and change the surroundings.
Machinima 
 A technique common in cut scenes of video games, scripting consists of giving precise directions to the game engine.
Machinima 
 A filmmaker can work alone this way, as J. Thaddeus "Mindcrime" Skubis did in creating the nearly four-hour The Seal of Nehahra (2000), the longest work of machinima at the time.
Machinima 
 Unless what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editing is available, as in Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption, changes may need to be verified in additional runs, and non-linear editing may be difficult.
Machinima 
 Another disadvantage is that, depending on the game, scripting capabilities may be limited or unavailable.
Machinima 
 Matinee, a machinima software tool included with Unreal Tournament 2004, popularized scripting in machinima.
Machinima 
 Rangers clan member Eric "ArchV" Fowler wrote his own programs to reposition the camera and to splice footage from the Quake demo file.
Machinima 
 Quake movie editing software later appeared, but the use of conventional non-linear video editing software is now common.
Machinima 
 For example, Phil South inserted single, completely white frames into his work No Licence to enhance the visual impact of explosions.
Machinima 
 In the post-production of Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles, Rooster Teeth Productions added letterboxing with Adobe Premiere Pro to hide the camera player's head-up display.
Machinima 
 To prevent confusion, Rooster Teeth's characters move slightly when speaking, a convention shared with anime.
Machinima 
 For example, Strange Company uses Take Over GL Face Skins to add more facial expressions to their characters filmed in BioWare's 2002 role-playing video game Neverwinter Nights.
Machinima 
 In some cases, some game companies may provide such software; examples include Epic Games' Impersonator for Unreal Tournament 2004 and Valve Corporation's FacePoser for Half-Life 2.
Machinima 
 Another solution is to blend in non-machinima elements, as nGame did by inserting painted characters with more expressive faces into its 1999 film Berlin Assassins.
Machinima 
 For example, Tristan Pope combined creative character and camera positioning with video editing to suggest sexual actions in his controversial film Not Just Another Love Story.

Clash of the Titans 
 In retribution, Thetis transports the adult Perseus (Harry Hamlin) to an abandoned amphitheatre in Joppa where he encounters the aged poet Ammon (Burgess Meredith) from whom he learns that Andromeda is under a curse and is unable to marry unless her suitors can correctly answer a riddle; those who fail are burned at the stake.
Clash of the Titans 
 To aid his son, Zeus sends Perseus an invisibility helmet from Athena (Susan Fleetwood), a magic sword from Aphrodite (Ursula Andress) and a shield from Hera (Claire Bloom).
Clash of the Titans

Clash of the Titans 
 Zeus commands Athena to give her owl Bubo to Perseus, but she convinces the gods' blacksmith Hephaestus (Pat Roach) to create a golden replica instead, who leads Perseus to a trio of hags called the Stygian Witches (Flora Robson, Anna Manahan and Freda Jackson), who have one tooth and eye between them.
Clash of the Titans 
 By taking their magic eye, Perseus forces them to reveal that the only way for the Kraken to be killed is by killing the gorgon, Medusa, who lives on an island at the edge of the Underworld.
Clash of the Titans 
 While on the Gorgon's island, Perseus and his companions are attacked by Dioskilos, Medusa's two-headed hellhound.
Clash of the Titans 
 During the fight, one of the party is killed by the beast, before he is eventually slain by Perseus.
Clash of the Titans 
 He leads his two remaining allies into the gorgon's lair, where Medusa herself kills the two men, shooting one of them with an arrow and petrifying the other.
Clash of the Titans 
 As Perseus and his party set to return they are attacked by Calibos, who punctures the bag containing Medusa's severed head, and three giant scorpions called Scorpiochs rise out of the blood.
Clash of the Titans 
 Bubo arrives and diverts the monster's attention until Perseus (whose strength was secretly restored by Zeus) arrives, mounted on Pegasus.
Clash of the Titans 
 The gods predict that Perseus and Andromeda will live happily for the rest of the lives and have children.
